Tuesday's Overlooked TV: The Yellow Rose


Sure, it was a DALLAS rip-off, with two brothers trying to run their late father's ranch in modern-day Texas and clashing with his beautiful young widow, but look at that cast: Sam Elliott as a mysterious stranger, Cybill Shepherd, never more beautiful, Ken Curtis and Noah Beery Jr. as a couple of crusty old cowpokes . . . It ran one season (1983-84) and ended on a frustrating cliffhanger. But we watched 'em all anyway.

Frankly, the cast alone suggests it was probably more fun than DALLAS...

I only vaguely remember this being on and never watched an episode.

Don't forget David Soul

Yep, David Soul and Edward Albert played the feuding brothers, as I recall. Of course, David Soul will always be Hutch to me.

I remember Soul best as one of those awaiting in HERE COME THE BRIDES, which I was about the right age for in its repeat years just after cancellation. That, and the singer/songwriter of such as "Black Bean Soup"...

I never heard of it, but probably wouldn't have watched it anyway.
