Today, on a very special episode of The Rifleman, written by Cyril Hume, who wrote The Forbidden Planet, Lucas enters in a debate about his cows with a vet from the county, as to whether he does indeed have a bunch or herd of cows. Lucas is insulted when the vet calls them just a bunch. I was waiting for lucas to ask the vet if he'd heard of cows! They came SO CLOSE! you could see it on Chuck Connors face. I might have to ask johnny crawford about it.
