My family produced a weekly rodeo in Jackson the summer of 1966. I was 20 years old and had just finished a successful season attending college on a rodeo scholarship. One of the stars of The Monroes was Ben Johnson who, in 1953, as a professional cowboy won the world calf roping championship! Ben Johnson and I became acquainted and he introduced me to Jack Sonntag, the production manager of The Monroes who hired me as an extra to ride horses. I was given one, short speaking part coupled with a stunt which involved my getting shot off of my horse in the middle of the creek. All in all, it was a fun summer in Jackson Hole Wyoming, rodeoing on the weekends and making movies during the week. Two years ago I discovered that the Monroe series was available on DVD and of course I ordered it but I was disappointed with the quality of the DVD; they are way too dark. My grandkids watch the videos and think it's neat for their old grandpa to be in-the-movies.
I was only ten/eleven, but remember this series as though it was yesterday. I think any girl my age at the time would have loved to be one of the Monroe family. It never occurred to me that they would have a hard life! It was a very romantic adventure and it was a shame it didn't last longer. I loved this brilliant series and will never forget it as one of my childhood loves.
If course at ten, I was deeply in love with Michael Anderson Jr. and Barbara Hershey has always been one of my favourite actresses, although even as I watched Hannah and her Sisters, I still associated her with the Monroes!

Lived in the little town of Jackson, Wyoming at the time they shot this series here. They filmed this series mostly in Grand Teton National Park until the weather got too cold in the late fall and then they went back to LA and rebuilt the cabin set on a sound stage which you could easily tell. The location shots had a wide view of the Teton range with few trees and the interior sets had all these trees with a painted vista of the Tetons. That is also when the ratings went downhill on the latter episodes and ABC axed this show. It was quite neat to see the major guest stars fly in and out of Jackson and Barbra Hershey was actually very cordial. The little Twins on the series were cute as well. Anyway a good western.
I was 12 years old when the series aired (was it really only one season?) but I have kept a special place in my heart for Liam Sullivan. He was so much more of a man than those boys, Clayt Monroe (Michael Anderson Jr) and John "Brad" Bradford (Buck Taylor). Sullivan managed to take a small, supporting role and create a full-bodied character. He was a great actor.
Underrated TV western that sadly only lasted a season. The sweeping vistas on location in the Grand Teton National Park were memorable. Nice theme song by David Rose, who would later do "Little House on the Prarie". Michael Anderson and Barbara Hershey were creditable as the older siblings, while the younger ones were thankfully un-precocious! All and all among the more realistic westerns of the era. One of the twins, Kevin Schultz, would go on to portray Tom Sawyer in live action/cartoon "New Adventures of Huck Finn" later in the 1960s. My folks loved the big white Great Pyrenees dog so much that our next dog was a Great Pyrenees! In answer to an earlier reviewer, the dog's name was Snow.
