by Christopher Sharrett (Author)
Using television studies and psychoanalytic criticism, this book places ""The Rifleman"" within the TV western genre and early television culture. While discussing the intelligence and lasting value of this series, it also challenges the reader to consider the broader role of 1950s television in shaping the consciousness of the postwar generation.
