The show, since it's on all the time, is stupid. I liked it as a child because it came on just one a week and I only had one channel...not counting PBS. I liked Trampus more than the Virginian back then, because I thought it was stupid to have a main character with no given name. He could've been named Arnie Fife, Barney Fife's great grandfather, for all we know. I got tired of all the pretty girls dying or getting on stagecoaches at the end of every romantic show...but the real stupidity was when I grew up and realized the happy-go-lucky Trampus, with that boyish and amicable charm of his...had practically killed twenty or more men while he was working at Shiloh...if you count all the various episodes. He would've lost that smile if that were true. Yet he was always joking. It's unrealistic.
