Yesterday we got a new channeld added to our tv-collection, being Tv4 Guld.
Since this week they took away the only show I watched from the program list (How I met your mother, before on Tv3 19.00)
I was pretty irritaded, so this was more than a thousand worth of revival medicine -like a full package of Final Fantasy's Fenix down:P
As the name say, Tv4 Guld is a channel for old goodies, and among those there is one of the best thing ever made airing, that being "How the West Was Won", or as it is known in sweden:
 FAMILJEN MACAHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's an old western goodie, about a family on a ranch and the troubles they face and such.
It's just one of the best shows ever!
I used to watch it with my family when I was a kid. It was even before I could read, so my mother always had to be reading aloud for me and my sister.
Of course I still enjoyed it, and at the scary moments we had to under a blanket till my mother said it was over,lol.

Anyway, I'm now going to make sure that we record it everyday. I watched yesterdays episode earlier today, and found out that the wonderful channel doesn't even have commercial breaks. So, without any breaks each episode is around 1hour and 40 minutes long. Like a movie ^^

Characters:
Zeb (Zebulan) -Uncle. Brother with their father
Kate - Mother
Luke - Eldest brother
Laura - Eldest sister
Josh - youngest brother
Jessi - youngest sister
Molly Culhane - aunt, sister with Kate

(Luke<3)


Todays episode was about Luke and the army riding in a mountain, Luke working as their guide. suddenly one of the soldiers get's shot, the cutie Billy. (or was it Bobby...no think it was Billy,lol) The captain/Sergent also got shot, and died. Luke and the other soldier managed to escape with the wounded Billy. Unfortantley Billy died, and Luke want's to get revenge:
Luke: I'm going after him.
Molly: It's to dangerous for you to go alone.
Josh: ...he won't be alone. I'm going with him too.
Luke: Alright.
Josh: It doesn't matter what you say! I'm still going to.....what?
Luke:  I sait alright, I will ejoy your company.
Josh: ...right..I'm going to get the horses ready.

Episode summary:
After capturing the killer, who they think is mad, they start realising that he is actually an ols south soldier from the war, who still thought that the war was ongoing. But it had been over for 4years already. He alone, had stayed on order to protect something. Also, Luke remember that he had met him once after a battle, when Luke had been part of the noth army. Andrew, as the soldier was named, had seen Luke walking why covering a shot wound. Their eyes had met, but in the end Andrew left. After finding out more, Luke feels that Andrew is just a victim to the war and wishes to help him. But the army is set on having him hanged, but will at least give him a chance to defend himself, and so he get's a trial.
With this, Andrew get's reunited with his wife,Prudite, and his daughter,Stacey, who was yet born when he had left for the war. They both hide the fact from Andrew,that Prudite remarried 3years ago. The trial starts, but don't proceed anywhere, since Andrew refuses to tell the reason for staying at the mountain for all these years. This makes the army think that he is just a murder, and sentance him to death.  Luke and Prudite, together with Zeb who returned home (-He just had to make an appearance before the episode was over XP) returns to the mountain to find some clues. They find a secret garden near the cabbin and after some digging they find a chest, containing Gold bars. With evidince shown, Andrew explains that he was told to guard the gold, but since he found out that the war was over, he wanted to give it to his wife and child. Looking at the chest, Luke finds a note, one who even Andrew have never seen (since he never opend to chest) it says that the Gold bars are in fact gold coloured lead bars O_O
The chest had just been a manoeuvre for the real good, which got transported somewhere else.
....This mean, that for 5 years, he had been killing people who came close, lived through hell alone for just some stupid lead! (talk aboutb frustrating)
With this, there is no longer any hesitate that Andrew was clueless about the war being over, and so he becomes a free man. He bids farewell to Prudite and Stacey, who returns to Prudites new husband, and instead moves into the cabbin on the mountain alone.
One day when he is working on the field, Luke come and visit him. He brings alot of food for Andrew.
Andrew: That food looks like it would be enough for a whole army .
Luke: Well,maybe not a whole army. But perhaps for....about 3 persons.
Andrew: ?
Then he hears Stacey calling for him, as she and Prudite rides forward. Prudite had left her husband and wishes to live with Andrew instead.
*sob* such a sweet ending to the episode, just as to be expected from Macahan.
( of course I had seen this episode before, and remembered the main things about it :P)



A bit unrelated, but I  also found this link telling about how it went for the main character after Macahan ended.

No real important information, and definetly nothing that effects my feelings for this wonderful serie.
Instead, one  thing that destroyed my image of Luke was seeing how he looks today. He had his usual smile, but still....=_=
It kinda reminded me that we won't stay young forever =_=....
But still, Luke rocks, and he always will!!!!!! <3

Meaning, that of course Luke was my favorite character in this serie ^0^
In the beginning he was on the run from the government because of a misunderstanding, and there took along time untill he became free. At that time he also had longer hair,lol.
He also got married to an awesome wife. She was so funny,lol. In one town she was the sheerifes daughter, a tomboy. Luke accidently makes her lose in a horse race,and to make it worse Luke is staying at her house. She clearly show him that she dislike him, they even yell at each other at some time. Still, they end up loving each other,lol.
But during this time, Luke is still a wanted man, so he most run away again. But later, they can finnaly be together.
She starts to dress like a girl, but still try to be the boss,lol.
