This was a show about a TV star playing a Cowboy hero. Richard Mulligan played the star, with Mariette Hartley as his wife. Two things I remember about it: he drove a car (Cadillac?) with longhorns on the hood and 6-guns for handles, and they were the very first couple on TV who slept in the same bed! I remember reading that in TV Guide or some such publication at the time. Probably the reason the show wasn't successful was because the two did not make a likely pair. She was gorgeous; he a dork. The storyline was intriguing, though. Good idea, but it simply wasn't particularly believable. I wouldn't be surprised that the show only was on the air a few episodes. I'd like to see what two looked like back 40 years ago.

"Turgid" comes to mind

Warning: Spoilers
Slow, boring, incomprehensible, silly in its premise, and no movement at all. By half-way through (about 5 hours), I no longer cared for any single character or plot trait. What a waste of time. Absolutely no character development, an incomprehensible plot, duologue which was stilted and unintelligible to a large part, and filmatography through a mud puddle. What's there to like? Locations in France? I did not at all enjoy the book, finding the ridiculous plot twist at the end of each chapter to be tiring. Naturally, I viewed the movie in a similar vein. But the movie was visually unappealing, slow in every aspect, and made no real sense. Sophie is the only, last, direct descendant of Christ? In 2000 years, the family tree comes down to one person? That can't be. It would have branched hundreds of times. So, the main plot twist is a virtual impossibility.
