Movie star Barbara Stanwyck is the matriarch of the Barkley Ranch. She has lots of kids including Richard Long, who made an impression in "Maverick" as "Gentleman Jack" Darby; and whispery but statuesque Linda Evans.
The Barkley family is like the Ponderosa on "Bonanza": a big spread run by a family who takes care not only of what's theirs but also the community. Only, instead of a father with all sons there's an even female split.
In this first episode a stranger (Lee Majors) turns up claiming to be a long-lost Barkley. But is he?
A good kickoff to a series that lasted a fraction of the time as "Bonanza," but which produced a few notable lifelong TV stars.
