Discussion:
The Big Valley was about an ironclad Stockton, California ranching family that owned a 30,000 acre ranch and included a lawyer, Jarrod, Richard Long. The episodes focused on all of the possible trials and tribulations that possibly could be faced by a mid 19th Century family trying to hold onto its fortune, property, and station in life.
