   Bruce Dern must not have enjoyed working on this series…he allegedly said in an interview that he never wanted to work again with ‘that a–hole Jack Lord’.

   Would make a good trivia question. BTW, Jack played CIA agent Felix Leiter in Dr. No.

   A Rare Classic! “STONEY BURKE” should have been released on DVD already,,since
   Jack Lord’s HAWAII FIVE-O” series has been enjoying great success on DVD since
   CBS/Paramount released the series in 2007. i’d erge anyone to let MGM,the ownner
   of this series,to get this out on DVD!

   It’s interesting to think that this show actually paved the way for THE OUTER LIMITS.

   I’m only 29 but I love Warren Oates (Srgt. Hulka) and Bruce Dern and Jack Lord. I’ve read about this show, and don’t know why I haven’t looked it up before. Sure beats todays mindless jibberish.

   this is the first time I’ve seen this in 48 yrs, I’d like to thank my Dad for introducing me into the cowboy world, we lived in the cities at the time, I was six yrs old, but I never forgot “Stoney Burke” I tried to get my Mom to name my little brother after him, but no go, lol, I still love my horses & even have a couple of my own….no wonder I’ve always like men in black cowboy hats

   Jack Lord, Warren Oates, Bruce Dern … this is when you could tune into TV and be assured of a good show simply by the quality of the actors. Today’s nobodies are out the door before you’ve even caught their names.

   Yeah, I was a grade school kid and loved this show.

   They make so many remakes of old successful tv shows as bad movies, wouldn’t it be great if they could take an old failure like this that really shouldn’t have been and remake it for today’s audience?

   With Lord, Dern, and Oates they’d caught lightning in a bottle back then and didn’t know it.

    Thanks for sharing this. I am a big fan of Jack Lord and I actually met him in person when I use to live in Hawaii, when he starred in Hawaii Five-O. I danced hula for him with my hula group at his country club. He was a great man! and miss him dearly.

    I second that.

    I remember Mr. Lord from the movie ‘God’s Little Acre’, in which he starred opposite the future Ginger of Gilligan’s Island-Tina Louise.

    Merry Christmas.
