NFR Yellowstone (the TV show)

Non-fishing related
My favorite scene so far…some idiot pretending to fly fish getting a rattlesnake thrown at his face…
 


These “Yellowstone in 30 seconds” clips always crack me up.
 
Is Yellowstone a modern horse opera? I watched a lot of those back in the 40's when they were called "serials". On Saturday afternoons we would go to a theater, get in for a dime, buy nickel popcorn and cheer for our favorite western hero. Among them were Roy Rogers, Red Ryder, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autrey, Lash Larue, Tom Mix, Johnny Mack Brown and others. You had to go every week to get the whole story and we dressed up in our western gear and wore our little cap shooter pistols and bandannas around our necks. I'm talking 10 years old and 1948 here, imagine wearing a six shooter into a theater today!

Those serials gave me a love for the West and a desire to go there and see the mountains and somehow be part of it. The day I was discharged from the Air Force I headed for the West Coast and never saw the eastern states again. Glad to hear that some of you folks are still diggin' horse operas....

Yup, same thing, except all the good guys died a long time ago and left the bad guys to duke it out over what's left.
 
We've tended to avoid watching series since it's now quite common for various streaming networks to abandon them before they've even completed the story arc...or do a pitiful job in doing so as viewership wanes.
 
Really liked the first few that I watched in Season 1 and Beth is easy to look at, but the violence turned me off. Tried to imagine these kinds of things actually happening in some valley in Montana and couldn't.
 
Dutton legacy and Native Americans fighting like hell to save what is left. Sometimes by "Mafia" type means which is, at times, overly dramatic and extreme. With Costner off the show it will be interesting to see how the ratings will last.
