The two hundred and thirteenth episode: #2 Hopalong Cassidy
Hopalong Cassidy is not the easiest watch for a number of reasons. It's from 1949, so there's an automatic disconnect. It's the follow up to a popular film series, so assumes a lot of information I don't have as a viewer new to the world. And it's a western, which isn't a genre I care for much, and which generally doesn't create episodic stories that have much you can latch on to. It's interesting how the show is gentle and feels more cerebral than other westerns I've seen, but I just can't say there's a lot that properly connects - not bad for its time, I think, but not something I really enjoy now.
