High Chaparral was...

...better than Bonanza, I'm sorry. It's no dig at Bonanza. It's forever enshrined as one of the most influential and beloved TV westerns of all time, and for good reason.

But High Chaparral was better. The relationships were much more organic and believable, the issues were presented with respect, but realistically, too. (Bonanza was a bit preachy imo). The humor, in HC's earlier seasons, at least, provided a welcome balance, and kept the drama from becoming melodrama. (A theme that the Bonanza leaned way too heavily into, and its prequel, Ponderosa, went 'hold my beer' on. But Matt Carmody was a dreamboat so I watched every episode.)

Anyway, enjoy some gifs that highlight why I love High Chaparral.

I was there a few years ago and had a blast! I met Luke and the Daltons and I gave Averell a sweet! The best thing tho was overhearing a few kids trying to explain to Joe what TikTok was and Joe misunderstanding them the whole time

Curious, I looked into him, and as so often happens discovered that I had seen him many times on television. Silvera was a very successful character actor, it’s just that his…
