Acting
Neville Brand's gruff Reese steals every scene he's in.
Production
Universal backlot magic — recognizably fake, charmingly so.
Writing
Pilot became a movie, three episodes became another. Chaos.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
William Smith left after season one to star in The Asphalt Jungle, forcing a hasty cast reshuffle.
Laredo arrived at Western TV's dying gasp — Gunsmoke outlasted it by a decade, making its two-season run almost admirably stubborn.
