Gambler Brady Hawkes (Rogers) has switched abandon from CBS to NBC for Episode 4. What fabricated this "Gambler" attending so arresting was the cardinal of aloft stars of TV westerns in adornment roles.
On his way from Mexico to San Francisco to comedy in the aftermost accepted high-stakes agenda game, Hawkes runs into the Rifleman and his son, Mark; Bat Masterson; two Virginians; Wyatt Earp; Bart Maverick; "Kung Fu" baton Kwai-Chang Caine, and Cheyenne Bodie.

He is the old, disheveled-looking guy in charge of a barber who talks with marbles in his aperture and was in about every western anytime made.
McEntire is a accustomed extra and the best allotment of the aperture act. With her emphasis and charm, she calls up visions of Holly Hunter and Debra Winger.
Unfortunately, writers Joe Byre and Jeb Rosebrook weren't able abundant to accomplish this homesickness cruise that funny. They amid their allotment of gunfights, chases, battle matches and agenda games, but not abundant laughs. Over a all-inclusive four hours, there are about three aggressive scenes. The aboriginal doesn't appear until afterwards 90 account of Allotment 1. About that time, Rossovich's actualization was allurement Hawkes, "Why you stayin'?"
"I accept in the cards," replies Hawkes.
Because I believed in this series, I backward continued abundant to see Cheyenne Bodie and Wyatt Earp shoot addition into a casket.
["291"]Part 2 involves added adornment players and is abundant added absorbing than Allotment 1. It has two funny scenes and one abhorrent one involving the adventitious cutting of a horse.
The highlights accommodate an old baker talking to himself and admixture in the names of a array of old westerns, as able-bodied as Carradine's backward appearance.
If you apprehend too abundant like I did, "The Gambler" may attending like a loser. On the added hand, this asinine miniseries is a acceptable afterimage compared to best of this month's animal sweeps programming. CBS is angry "The Gambler" with "The Rape of Dr. Willis," in which Jaclyn Smith plays a doctor who has her defacer acreage on her emergency allowance operating table. On Nov. 10, CBS affectedness "My Son Johnny," "a air-conditioned account of affinity violence." On Nov. 17 and 19, Valerie Bertinelli stars "In a Child's Name," about "a woman who seeks aegis of her sister's adolescent afterwards she is atrociously murdered by her husband."
This Sunday, ABC affectedness "False Arrest," a two-part miniseries starring Donna Mills and Robert Wagner that is a accurate adventure of a woman unjustly confined for the annihilation of her husband's business partner.
On Nov. 10, ABC affectedness "Wife, Mother, Murderer," a real-life adventure about a aberrant woman who boring poisons her bedmate and tries to annihilate her daughter.

THE RIFLEMAN in The Gambler Returns 💯📼™ - YouTube | the gambler returns the luck of the draw castBesides "The Gambler," NBC allotment Eliot Ness and Veronica Hamel. On Nov. 10, it affectedness "The Return of Eliot Ness" starring Robert Stack. A night later, Hamel ("Hill Street Blues") stars in "Deadly Medicine," addition accurate story. This time, a pediatrician finds out her best acquaintance and accurate assistant is a killer.
NBC has the mothers of all sweeps programming on Nov. 24 and 25 with two movies that accept agnate titles -- "Deceptions: A Mother's Secret" and "A Mother's Justice." Neither sounds like abundant fun.
Come to anticipate of it, "The Gambler Returns" sounds funnier and funnier. Maybe I'll watch it over as analysis afterwards all the animal November sweeps belief end.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
