Although it started tragically, the series is an inspirational one with plenty of excitement, beauty and life lessons. Just so people know it is now available on DVD. I bought it and I'm happy to say it's still fun to watch even as an adult. They take in an Indian friend whom helps save their daughter from an illness and earns their trust after first seeming like a threat. I was sad when it went off the air because it was one of the few shows that I would NEVER miss. The network should have stuck with it because many series don't get traction until the second year (Seinfeld, Family Guy, Simpsons). It's a shame that there just aren't any good family programs on now that kids can watch without getting brainwashed by Hollywood's political correctness. This series teaches family, standing up for yourself, treat others fairly, and fight for what is yours.

I used to love this series. The Monroe family had a beautiful white dog. I think it was a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. I can't see any credits for the dog in the cast. Does anyone remember the name of the dog? I can't remember the theme, but I'm sure it had a lovely theme too. I'd love to see this back on TV. The episode that I remember most was one about a "monster" that Jim the Indian called "kinkajou" or "carcajou"? (I can't quite remember now, but I was only about 11 when I saw this series.) It ended up that the "monster" was a wolverine. I loved all the episodes, and loved the idea of living in a log cabin. Does anyone know if this series ever screens on any of the cable channels? Or if it's for sale as a series? I'm only asking lots of questions now because IMDb has a "10 line minimum submission" rule. IMHO it must put a lot of people off from submitting a comment!

As a young man growing up in Jackson Hole I had the privilege of working as a stunt double, stand-in for one of the Schultz twins on the TV show "The Monroes". My cousin provided the horses for the show and got me the job for the summer. My favorite person on the set was Ben Johnson who played the one armed cowboy Sleeve. He played football with us kids and was very kind to us when we were treated mostly as invisible or in the way by the other stars especially Barbara Hershey who was a perfect snob. In nearly all of the episodes when you see one of the twins from the back or from far away or in any rough action that is really me.

Just had to Comment.Well I wanted to say that this show was on the air when I was conceived, and my Mama just loved the little redhead girl Amy played by Tammy Locke, so much so she named me after her. I finally got to see an episode a few years back on the Western Channel and when I looked it up on here actually got to see a picture of Tammy Locke. Gotta Love the internet it made my day. Thanks to all who make this site possible. Keep up the good work, I've book marked your site and I use it often. Maybe some day I will be able to make a few user comments on movies I've seen and help others choose what to watch.
