During this Covid stuck in the house hell I needed some escapism! Tired of the modern P C medias heavy social messages, guilt, and depressive narrative programing I went to the polar opposite The Rousters. I just needed some escapism. Wondering if my mind changed from being 15 years old, so I watched The Rousters. There is no above mentioned Social messages just pure silly, stupid escapism. What did I learn from The Rousters? Nothing! What works and I learned about myself from the Rousters is ! The Earp alert snap gig is still as funny at age 50 as it was at age 15. Watching Robert Davi beat up on his own truck by mistake is still wet my pants laugher! The Ernst Hey Vern tv commercial guy character and the off kilter grandma character are funny, but in a charming way. Wyatt Earp the masculine, wise, protagonist whose kind side wins the audience over dries the show. Wyatt Earp the 3rd balances out the family and the audience can relate with the family dynamic where the strong sensible members are dependent upon and looked up to bail the family out of another mess again. Every time Wyatt rolls his eyes and has a sarcastic comment many can relate to the show. Wyatt tries to raise his son, the only family who is just like dad and the side story balances out the Rousters silliness. Wyatt the Circus security/bounty hunter is on another razor thin story, with stupid situations and as always solving, adapting and being a hero give one a happy escapism. The stupid humor never gets old. Watching silliness brings me back to the age of 15.

They didn't even scratch its hull...

CBS had high hopes for this series, which they hoped would break the seven year stranglehold that "The Love Boat" had on its time slot. But this show was gone after only a few weeks. It really wasn't bad, just not a show for its time. People didn't really want to see Westerns. They wanted to see jiggly babes and modern situations. This show was cool in that you got to see a young Mimi Rogers in a main role, and she does it quite well. The show's sets were well done as well, as in keeping with the decent budget allocated for this TV drama, in that the network had high hopes for it. The rest of I wouldn't mind seeing the four or five episodes of this show on DVD.
I loved this show, I would buy the video

I was so disappointed when this show was canceled. I don't buy videos very often and own no TV shows. This would do it for me, if it was out on the market. Chad Everett was the long-suffering stable brother, trying to keep the family name a respected one, maintain its esteem among legendary names in American mythology. Of course, all other members, friends and circumstances worked against him with comic results. The carnival plot line is just uniquely American and silly enough to put the show over the top. This show gave us the humorous dysfunctional family before we even had a name for it. I never really thought of it as a Western, though I suppose it is not inaccurate to call it such.
makes the A-TEAM look like Shakespeare

i honestly logged onto the comments section for this show to read some funny slams, and was very surprised to read so many positive ratings. this is awful. inane plots, amazing continuity errors, bad acting, and caricatures instead of characters. i've had to sit thru 6 consecutive episodes of this, for my job, and am ready to call my dentist, and see if he can squeeze me in for an emergency root canal.there are some very likable actors in this series, it's almost hard to believe it could be this bad. chad everet was a solid leading man, mimi rogers is stunning as ever, and i was shocked to see jim varney had a career before earnest.
