Annie Oakley

I read that Gene Autry originally did not want her for the part. Unbelievable! I read that the sponsors passed on the first pilot Bullseye, which was as good or better than any other episode.

I never understand why some criticism this action-fun-show, maybe it's NO ZORRO or THE LONE RANGER, but if it helped young girls feel more confident in themselves and it took you away from the worlds problems for 30 minutes or longer, than it did a good job Gail Davis in real life was truely good with a gun n could ride a horse better than most, not her fault those who wrote her lines were no Shakespear. I found it a very enjoyable show one must remember it was made in the 1950's NOT 2020!!.. maybe Lofty could be replaced by a better actor like Lee Van Cleft or Gene Evans or even Phil Harvey! But overall the series is decent and has a good moral lesson after each episode.

For the most part - I thought that this vintage TV Western from the mid-1950s was quite an entertaining view all around.

Of course, I had to be willing to cut this show some slack at times in order to fully appreciate what it had to offer me. But, with that said - I found that my overall enjoyment while watching "Annie Oakley" was not at all reduced to the point of boredom.

And, what I'd also like to add here is to say that what helped to elevate the amusement-factor of "Annie Oakley" to its above-average status was that its 3 principal characters (Annie, Lofty, and Tagg) were actually quite a pleasant and likable trio who certainly did their best to make the role of fair and honest law-enforcement their top priority.

Anyway - When it comes to recommending "Annie Oakley" to other like-minded viewers - I certainly don't hesitate at all about voicing my enthusiastic approval.

I love western shows,cheyenne,gunsmoke,tales of Wells Fargo are among my favorites,this is by far one of if not the worst western show I've ever seen. To be honest I never even heard of it until recently when Pluto TV started showing it. Have the best shot in the west who shoots everything but people,even when her younger brother tag is in grave danger. Let's not forget she had a hat around her neck she never wears despite never leaving it anywhere. Always wonder when she will run out of steps,lamps,chandeliers,sticks and other stuff to shoot when bad guys run away. The acting by the deputy sheriff lofty is awful to say the least. One of the worst shows ever created and aired.

The kid was annoying but what kid isn't? Its like OMG and he's on here why? The fake fight scenes its like whenever someone was getting ready to fight its like okay fast-forward. Glad the collection i bought had subtitles. The chick was annoying but i hate women & kids. Yeah 35 year old woman, i can't stand either. She was annoying too. I bought the series for a couple of reasons. I thought i'd like Brad Johnson. No. He had the hots for Annie or Gail and it was sickening. Its like okay we know what you're doing. I got it for LQ Jones, Slim Pickens, and gorgeous Angel Eyes Van Cleef and of course so sweet Glenn Strange. Forgot how good he looks in black.
