Longmire is better by a longshot than about 90% of the idiotic Michael Waddell inspired bullchit the "Outdoor Channel" normally airs.


I'll not argue that, it's way better than most "hunting and fishing" shows on that channel.

But, perhaps if this kind of programming continues we'll someday see Saw 4 on the Disney Channel.

The TV/Cable/Content providers seem to have forgotten folks pay for these channels and I for one would like to see Independent Films on the IFC, and history on the History Channel. If that can't be arranged, just give them a number like the BBC does. There are descriptive terms in the English language for a reason.

Every time I go into a used book store I look for Longmire books. It is true that the books give a lot more time for character development. That said, I have watched all six seasons and was sorry to see it end!

Agreed. Very frustrating. And for ciminy sakes, get ride of the stupid and constant advertisement on the lower portion of the screen. You know the one I'm talking about? It's the one that is constantly there telling me either: a) the network I'm watching; or, b) what upcoming programs are scheduled. Ya, these are great except for the fact they cover up an important "sub title" which gives the identity of the individual speaking, or, the date, or the location. The print/subtitles on many of these documentary type shows put things in perspective and provide a lot of the who, what, when and where context both important and necessary for the show. Holy Crap!!!

Almost as if they don't watch their finished product to see what's actually being hidden, eh/

Dang PBS station here has a little (IX) logo in the lower right quadrant of the screen just in case I forgot what channel I chose to watch I guess. Gets in the way of details sometimes. Maybe many times.

All verygood IMO. Have to check out Yellowstone.



Ditto here, other than I burned out on Hell on Wheels and replaced it with SOA, which was most of the cast of Deadwood just on Harley’s instead of horses.

I sort of enjoy the show Yellowstone. I in no way, think it is near the level of Longmire. I just finished watching the last season on Netflix.

Why do you have “channels”?

No it was meth dealing rapists and pimps on motorcycles. True to form.

I said the CAST was the same, not the story line. Both shows did display characters sinking to their lowest possible forms as humans, just 130 years difference.

Well that's a new one, the tv version of a character in literature defining him! As you wish.

I think the book versions of all the main characters are a collection of exceptional folks that happen to fall in with each other and hit it off because they are strong, no-nonsense types. Their intense loyalty to each other is a major element as are Walt's encounters with spirits, ghosts, whatever they are. The tv story lines are weak and soap opera-like by comparison. They're all snarky, accomplished wise-asses that constantly ride each hard like close friends do. The book Vic uses the f word like commas, but it works.

Liked Hell on Wheels too, though even I was starting to get discouraged about Bohannon's never-ending bad luck. He does (apparently) end up happy-ever-after with a Chinese gal, something I know a bit about! The gunplay in one episode of the last season was awesome. Don't futz around with Bohannon.

Welcome to our area - Longmire's office is still on the plaza of our little town.
MUCH filming occurred here.
