One of the best western shows of all time, “The Big Valley” was nominated three years in a row for “Best Edited Television Program” and won two out of the three years. To me, this show is flawless. The stars in this show are all handsome (especially the most gorgeous hunk of all, Peter Breck who plays Nick Barkley). The women, Linda Evans and Barbara Stanwyck are also such great beauties. One can’t help but get distracted while watching The Big Valley because of the the beautiful stars of the show.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Their youngest brother was Charles Barkley. One tall drink of water, they called him.
nick was…solid gold…lol
All 3 of them dipped in chocolate would be even better!
I like to take a drink of long cool Nick, myself.
@welcometoorefuge
Nah, Nick threw it the fireplace, makes a nice aroma when the fire is lit, sorta like an old time air freshener.
I’m named after Nick Barkley…….
Don’t worry about the apple core,Nick…..Silas will pick it up!
@armida767 Thanks for letting me know. What did they do to the con artists?
@dancinkindofguy – Barbara Stanwick (the mom made Nick and the Brawler shake hands). They set off on a mission (very funny) to find the con-artists who sold their land illegally. They found them and at the end, Nick softened up and the family gave the family (squatters) another portion of their land, for a penny (I think that’s what I remember). And the family vowed to pay when they started making money off the land. It was a really good episode.
@beloit22 – Hi Beloit! I’m sorry I haven’t been able to post new videos due to not having much time (working full-time), and recently I’ve been ill. I don’t think I remember which software I used. It was a 30 day trial. But as soon as I find the time (and the strength, I will try and post more episodes). These DVDs (first and second) seasons, was on sale at Frys Electronics the last time I was there for 12.00. I remember thinking I got ripped off cause I paid about 25.00 with Amazon.
Oh those thieven Micks!
So what ended up happening here, anybody know?
I am really enjoying watching these old episodes. I love all of the characters but my favorite by far is NIck!!! I love the way he rides a horse. You just can’t fake that. Thank you Peter Breck for bringing this character to life!!!
WHERE’S THE REST?!!
@HiTea4Me Do you remember Mr. Breck when he starred in ‘Black Saddle’?
I loved this show too. One of the best on TV with one exception. At times, I thought the characters were too overly physically effectionate with one another…just too touchy touchy for a family…kinda creepy to me…almost on the verge of looking incestuous, especially jarrod…he would kiss his mother and sister on the mouth or near the mouth way too much….ew.
@tavo1973 Hi tavo, I just looked it up and it’s called ‘The Brawlers,’ season one, disc 3. Hope this helps!
Loves Westerns. this was my favorite second was Bonaza
@armida767 What’s the name of this episode?
@republicansrule Long was 47 when he passed away. He was way too young.
yes the best western that never will be another 1 like this one and bonaza
16 seconds ago I remember everyone liked Bonanza and i liked the Big Valley better. i was a little kid and thought Heath was the coolest guy in the world. did any of you know that he ( Lee Majors) beat out Burt Reynolds for this part? i heard that before
@armida767 One of television’s most bankable actors, tragically gone too soon due to heart problems.
I’m having a great deal of difficulty locating an audio clip of the ACTUAL quote “…Nick, Heath, Jarrod– There’s a fire in the barn!”
In the movie “Airplane”, the character “Johnny” “Johnny” said it.
Does anyone know where I can find it, on the internet?
Sir(s): If I may, at this Date and Time, state here how Youngmen as Brothers must understand carefully the reason when a Younglady, and especially “their little Sister,’” wants to keep Her Honor clean by shooting something or someone. Killenny Farms must have once been a fine old place for it had some very fast Privatization in the West. Thank you. Have a Nice Day. Godspeed.
Ooooooooooo, all these years and Nick still floats my boat! What a hunk, I used to love this show.
I remember watching this show every Saturday afternoon. The Big Valley was just awesome! Of course, I wasn’t Nick’s biggest fan, but in my older age I’ve mellowed! lol Originally, the producers had Barbara Stanwyck was to wear 4 different outfits in each show and Linda Evans would have one different outfit, but Barbara said to allow Linda to wear two different outfits to her three outfits.
