AMC is currently replaying The Rifleman on Saturday mornings. While I remember watching when it aired originally—from 1958 to 1963—I didn't know until recently that the first few episodes were written and directed by Sam Peckinpah.
With classic 50s narratives that focus largely on self reliance and the rugged individual, it remains surprisingly liberal.
Also...the opening sequence is both hilarious and wrong.
