THE MEN FROM
NBC - 90 minutes
September 16, 1970 - September 8, 1971
25 episodes
As Virginian fans viewed the opening title sequence of
'The Men From Shiloh' they
realized the old and much loved 'ride-in' had gone forever. Jack Cole's
visuals, consisting of a mixture of authentic western stills, cast photos and
early seventies lower case typography served as a backdrop to Ennio Morricone's stylish theme. Not since 'The High
Chaparral' had there been a more memorable title sequence to a TV Western
series. Expectations for the show were high. But viewers soon became frustrated
with the revamped format.
