Wagon Train the final episode S8E26 "The Jarbo Pierce Story" with Rory Calhoun as Jarbo Pierce
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Stories of the journeys of a wagon train as it leaves post-Civil War Missouri on its way to California through the plains, deserts, and Rocky Mountains.
The series' final episode begins and ends with the two characters who stayed with it from beginning to end, as Charlie tells Hawks about his earlier days working for trading post operator Jarbo Pierce. Jarbo, once a wild, hard-drinking man, had become a minister, though he could still take on any man who tried to fight him. When his younger brother Adam arrived at the post Jarbo found himself at odds with him as Adam preferred the wilder ways of life and didn't understand Jarbo's concerns for the Indians he traded with, and began working with a man who wanted to use them as indentured servants in a mine.

The last episode of wagon train, eight years is a long run on television, about people moving west in a wagon train, westerns were popular in that era, not so much in modern times. So long wagon train you reached your destination. A sentimental Journey, across America.🎤😮🎶🎵🎶
Nice comment.
Well said and done by the time I get home to Caanan's Land where the soul never dies...
Now, THIS IS A PROPER UPLOAD!! ALL of the intro - title, credits (both opening & ending), & theme song!! And, NOT bogged down w/commercials!! This particular episode has a comical flair, w/LOTS of classic Western guest stars!! Good show!! Thank you!! ❤❤
I'm still watching this series on MeTV. Great cast and storylines!
Yes; I love the history of our ancestors that this country tis of thee,great Land of opportunity 🎉❤❤🎉
Sure is!
Me-TV, Antenna TV & INSP are home to Classic TV Westerns
Back then, it was CBN (later The Family Channel) and The Hallmark Channel
Love my westerns. Nothing like them. 🇺🇸
From the UK - a series fond;ly remembered from my youth, with stars like Ward Bond, Robert Horton to set
the standard as a repeat treat. The standard of guest stars was consistent, even to such film icons as
John Wayne. In this, it is a pleasure to see the likes of veteran Arthur Hunnicutt in support to add that
extra bit of Western authenticity.
As child watching Wagon Train I could care less about story line, character development or what soap commercials I had to watch. I just needed to see the West and the Indians and the Schoolmarm. There were no "bad" episodes. When you watch this imagine yourself 9-10 years old, laying on the floor and never even worrying because it was not in color. I always wore my hat and cap gun.
I loved this show a lot it brought something to the table. Love Charlie he was great and i still watch it today will continue till no longer can❤️🙏🏻🌲🙏🏻🌲🥳✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Only since the 2000's I realized why my Nana (never met her husband, he passed before I was born) watched these show's in the 60's. (Gunsmoke was her favorite and Wagon Train). It was a reminder of things when she was a young girl. I watched Gunsmoke with her nightly. Still before her time but was a lot closer to her youth than the youth of of today. I enjoy both of these series today.
Appreciate the thoughtful comment!
This was great! Thank you for sharing! Good morals Wonderful story 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of my favorite shows . And Roy Calhoun was one of my favorite actors . He played in some really good westerns .
Terry Wilson always makes my heart flutter and I was too young to watch Wagon Train on its original run!
Yep, he was a handsome one! Everyone looks like girly-men now!
Not only was Terry Wilson a good looking man, in real life he was an honorable man with high morals. A faithful husband and a loving father and family man. He and his wife had 3 children. 😊😊😊😊
Never to late
Was my favorite.
@winonamassTerry Wilson as Bill Hawk was in Wagon Train from the start.Happy days.ingill7895
Yep, good guest stars as usual. I love the character actors who appeared in all the classic TV westerns.
What a great tv series, like every show. They are a click away.
Good episode and Rory Calhoun is great as always
24:32 -- Iron Eyes Cody (on the right), an actor well known for playing the part of an American Indian in many movies and TV shows. But who was, it was eventually revealed, actually of Sicilian heritage.
Many--including me--remember him best as the native American shedding a tear for the environment in "Do not litter" TV public service announcements. That was in 1971, years after this show ended.
I remember him in that commercial way back in the early 70's. It ran for a number of years. I'm in my early 60's now. This show was a little before my time but I still enjoy it. It ran from 1957 until 1965.
Rory Calhoun (1922-1999) was a rebellious youth, at times in trouble with the law, until he made a dramatic turnaround, at the age of 21. He was a logger in the California Redwoods, around the time when he was discovered & mentored by Alan Ladd, and his wife, Sue Carol; from the point, Rory's acting career enjoyed great success.
Thank you,for showing this,very much.
@@NancySanders-om4ic So glad you appreciate it.

I was thinking by the time the series ended they were in color by then. Guess I was wrong unless this was filmed in B&W to make it more authentic. Always loved this show and still watching the reruns.
A good ending to a great old western series.
Thank you for posting this! It's a little strange for a final episode, but I guess they didn't see the hatchet coming. Anything with ol' Iron Eyes, the best fake Indian EVER, is OK with me.
@mjemigh3304....Iron Eyes Cody the best fake Indian ever....Yes, I can agree with that, but let's not forget the other notable person who claimed to be American Indian blood: Elizabeth Warren...LOL..!!
A very good 👍 sound 👌 decent film 🎥 on right & wrong . Honesty & Integrity . Love ❤️ & Kindness 2wards Ur fellow man 👨
Just started watching Wagon Train recently for the first time. My favorite character is Charlie Wooster (nicknamed "Cactus-Face" or "Scrub-Face"). I always root for the underdogs in Westerns, or the bumbling corny characters.
But what I don't understood about classic TV Westerns is why the "main" stars or characters are hardly shown but the guest stars appear more in the entire episodes? For this being the final episode Charlie Wooster is hardly involved in this, you'd think they would have all the main characters together on the final episode., or at least have Wooster more involved...I don't get it? I also notice in the early seasons either Major Adams (Ward Bond) OR Flint McCullough (Robert Horton) appear but hardly together.
Gunsmoke started doing that when it went in color, goodbye Matt & Festus, or hardly. I'm in it to watch the main characters and a little of the guest stars.
I'm assuming money issues or trying to give the guest star newbies more recognition for Hollywood.....I guess.
Not complainin' mind you. Still love Wagon Train.
Wagon Train was conceived as an anthology - similar to Love Boat in that the regular cast, for the most part, played supporting roles to the guest stars, who were the leads. The wagon master (Adams, Hale) and scout (Flint, Cooper) were the most important characters among the regular cast, and they alternated episodes so the show could produce two episodes at once. This was back when TV shows were producing 35-39 episodes per season, so that kind of split schedule was necessary.
As for Gunsmoke, by the time the show went to color, it had already been on for 11 years. And James Arness wanted a lighter schedule so it became a defacto anthology during those years.
If you think that was long, how about Mash? 8 seasons about a temporary medical unit in a war that lasted only two years .
Back in the Day [ 5-8 ] yrs old we all decked out like Rory Calhoun from watching "THE TEXAN"
I think what would've made a good ending scene would be showing what ended wagon trains, the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad
Rory Calhoun, one of the best western actors ever
One of the better, for sure... but down on the lower rungs of the best list. He had some demons that probably held him back out of the hard A list of western and general film actors. I think you had your Wayne, Cooper, Mitchum, Scott, Stewart, Fonda, Lancaster, Peck, Holden, and maybe five more top A leads. Then there was a bracket of maybe ten more mid-low-A's Like Wallach, Ford, Brennan, Wills, Cobb, etc. who would probably edge out Calhoun - but, yes, Calhoun was certainly in the high B, low A group - probably could have gone further but just didn't seem to ever have it totally together. It's a matter of opinion, but my favorites of the era were Wiils, Pickens, Johnson, McCrea, and Robertson, even though they weren't usually leads, but probably because they exuded more authenticity.
@@Franklin-pc3xd " The Texan" was a Very Good western series,and Rory Calhoun was very good in that role!
Rory Calhoun’s life’s personal review said that when his wife sued him for divorce she named his adulterous affair with Betty Grable along with 79 other women to which he replied, Heck, that wasn’t even half of them!!!
Good movie thank you
I thank you for posting this .Clean no curing God words.I wish some could post the one called Mule Train it was back in my days.❤😊😊🌞🙏👍
Any show especially classic western series that had the meaning such as the Wagon train did. And was televised on national tv and focused on God's goodness and the Holy Bible is grade A I'm my book. I only wish that shows like this were on tv today this world really could use it.
CLASSIC TV!
Supposedly Wagon Train was an inspiration for Star Trek.
Frank McGrath and Terry Wilson did a cameo together in the wonderful remake of True Grit. Although many decades had passed since they appeared on Wagon Train, both looked like they hadn't aged a day. Amazing.
Frank McGrath died May 13th, 1967 and Terry Wilson died in 1999. It couldn't have been Frank McGrath, he was only 64 when he died :(
Thank great video
I always wondered why they reverted to black and white for the final season of Wagon Train.
I've read it was to save money. Makes sense, I think.
Originally telecast on May 2, 1965, and doubled as a pilot for an unsold series, "BEND IN THE RIVER"......which *NBC* passed on (even though this was seen on ABC).

I thought the final season was in color if I’m not mistaken but it was an AWESOME SHOW
Also Morgan Woodward and Arthur hunnicutt
This wasnt an easy watch. I wonder what my Ggrandfather was forced to endure in his youth.? Only know a little about him. My Grandmother was born in 1875 , Im guessing that would put his age somewhere around 30. He died in a logging accident late fall of 1882. Grandma and a couple of his grandchildren have passed down some history. He was a Seneca chief in Logan Co Ohio.
IT DIDN'T END RIGHT, THE YOUNG INDIAN BOY SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE SCRIPT.
I wonder why Wagon Train was cancelled? If I read it correctly the ratings were still high but I couldn't find anything on why it was cancelled?
It's a mystery to me!
Maybe because it was only good with the first several series and the original Actors.
@@sandyfreyman3501 If that were the case the ratings would had dropped but if I remember right what I read they were still good when it was cancelled.
I think most viewers always like the original actors of a series the best.
@@JustMe-ec2ph well some people can cast an actor I believe and some can't. An actor need charisma. Many just don't have that. Plus star trek had good ratings when they tried to cancel it as we all remember. But, I think they wanted to push new agendas as we all know they tried, with Cosby and many more blk shows.
Part of the reason was financial. Television programs were changing from black and white to color and beginning to cost more money to produce. Wagon Train went to 90 minutes and color for season 7, then returned to black and white and 60 minutes for its last year. It was produced by Universal Television, which was also producing The Virginian. "The powers that be" decided they couldn't afford to produce both Wagon Train and the Virginian at the same time.
Gr8 2 C Luc Longley ( Rory Calhoun ) in this episode
Nice episode but what kind of series finale is this? Even if they didn't know they were coming back the next year it's not a proper season finale either... unless they were trying to do a spinoff or something
Back then TV shows generally have series finales.
They just ended with regular showa, that could have happened at anytime during the entire run.
Even Gunsmoke had no finale even after a 20 season run.
This series ended in color , this is from an early season.
30:50 just what the serpent had in mind when talking with eve and ADAM
How can this be the last episode? Its in black and white.
Sadly, after one year in glorious color, and expanding to 90 minutes, the show reverted back to an hour AND back to black and white! Now I can understand going back to an hour, but reverting to b/w makes no sense whatsoever.
I don't know of ANY other TV series that ever did that. Once most TV shows made the switch, that was it,
There were four episodes filmed in color in season 5. Season 7 was entirely in color and season 8 was back in B/W.
@@joemotes Yes, and I have watched them, and the color is stunning. Those episodes were probably a "trial Run" to see if they could afford to produce the show in color.
BTW Perry Mason, in it's 9th and final season had a one off color episode: The Case Of The Twice Told Twist. Also the Burns and Allen show also had one singular episode in color at the start of season 4, however said episode is syndicated in b/w like all the others
@@chrismulwee4911 Yes, I knew of the last Perry Mason of the series. Thanks.
A few other shows went back to black & white when they changed networks. The Joey Bishop Show who’s final year was on CBS and the network didn’t really do any regular color shows until the 1965-66 season and The Price Is Right when it made the jump from NBC to ABC.
I didn't know the Texan played on it
Sorry that ABC was not so willing to produce it in color. The West looks pretty in full color. Like CO and UT.
Lol..lol..took 8 years to get from Missouri to California wow

Did the character Flint get killed???
Adam looks way too old to just have left "school" or to be called boy. ROFL It was entertaining in a way but I can see why it never took.
I guess you missed the part where Jarbo/Rory's friends sent him letters from along the ways of Simcox/Adam's travels. Besides, nobody was looking for "documentary" quality, even if they wanted a gun in the pic that was in existence in THAT time period.
You know how often a Mother in those TV shows and Movies was only about 3-4 yrs DIFFERENT AGE than her Grown son - sometimes the "mom" was the younger of the two? (Angela Lansbury, for instance and a few other lovely women, as well.)
Okay. I’m at a loss. I cannot figure out what’s going on. It

Except for the Ward Bond episodes, Wagon Train is the most depressing western ever made. Jeeeeze, they will have to open a psych ward and give anti-depressants after each episode.

Bad episode. I didn't like it. Twisted sense of perspective.
Its setting was a very rough and raw, undeveloped place, it was better perspective than anything since that generation's outlook - compared to newer productions in similar times, and no raunchiness at all - compared to just a few YEARS later.
It was a wild perspective but very strongly Family-oriented viewability, and showed enough of the Roots of why people should expect eachother to care about Values - without getting so rough you didn't want children then to see it. Just 15 yrs later, parents watching soap operas didn't care if their little ones saw couples on screen in bed with eachother - not their own spouses, and clearly little besides a partial covering of a sheet over them - LONG GONE were the Twin Beds of the Married couples and ONE FOOT on the Floor at ALL TIMES of the Dick Van Dike Show.
When I told my family it should be upsetting us for the little ones in the room with that on the TV screen for them to see - they no longer even knew what I was talking about.
They had already forgotten that in the earlier days, around the time of THIS EPISODE, the only way you knew the bad things going on on the soap operas was when Nancy and her friends who dropped by for coffee and a chat told eachother about the shenanigans, at the kitchen table over coffee, JUST in WORDS and no vision of it at all. And all you saw of the miscreant couple was a Glance, an expression in the Eye of one of them and a knowing look from someone else who was watching that couple who were across the room from the Partners in indiscretion. Just a Twinkle in an eye, is all you used to see.
Glad it ended.
Hi Stetson, you seem to be in the minority on this one. Could you share your reasoning?
@@VintageFilmChannel I'm American Indian. Writing is terrible. Navajos and Apaches in the Dakotas. Taking on the whole Souix Nation. Killing and not giving s#@t.
Hi again, Stetson, thanks for that. We have a poor record as Americans, in our collective relationships with Native Americans, not to mention all of our other shortcomings. I have been reading Marcie Hendon, the Cash Blackbeard novels, which detail some of the issues. I can only hope we are learning to be better.
These old programs show how wrong we have been.
I'm sure this will be an excellent episode of an landmark TV show. But the show destroyed itself in the 8th season, the stories were so bad, overall.
This is not the last episode of wagon train by Longshot it might be the last black and white one
Hi Red, just rechecked IMDb and Wikipedia, and both have this as the last episode. Do you have any info on any other, later episodes? Just trying to be accurate. Thanks!
@@VintageFilmChannel I don't care what they both said man there's many colored episodes just Google it on RUclips
@@VintageFilmChannel that's got to be meaning the last black-and-white episode of wagon train
@@VintageFilmChannel you have never heard of the colored episodes of wagon train
