First viewed : 5 July 1989
This was a summer replacement for Dallas, a western series about Ethan Cord ( Lee Horsley ) a gunfighter forced to settle down when his dying sister deposits her four children in his lap. Ethan's salvation is a sympathetic bank manager Amelia ( Sigrid Thornton ) who loans him the money for a farmstead. His past is always catching up on him though.
I gave it a go because Thornton was an ex -Prisoner ( as serial escapee Ros Coulson ) and it was good to see her doing well. Otherwise, it didn't really grab me, a less syrupy Little House On The Prairie with no original angle. I gave up on it after a few episodes.
There were three seasons, the last being shown in a late night slot in 1992. There were some daytime repeats later that year.
