"It was the first 90-minute Western on TV, and that gave our writers an opportunity to explore detailed stories. It was like doing a movie every week. We also had a wonderful cast of continuing characters, and with the great writing, the finest actors in Hollywood wanted guest starring roles - George C. Scott, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Robert Redford come to mind. Every day I'd go off to the set excited about the wonderful actors I'd be working with." a proposito della serie tv Il virginiano (1962-1971)
