About The Rifleman
The Rifleman ended on April 8, 1963, after its fifth season on ABC. The show concluded its run over 60 years ago, with no current plans for revival or continuation.
The series was a Western action and adventure drama that aired from 1958 to 1963. It centered on Lucas McCain, an ex-soldier who, after losing his wife, moved to North Fork with his son Mark. The show depicted their attempts to settle into a peaceful life as farmers, but frequent encounters with outlaws and criminals often drew Lucas back into his role as a skilled marksman, using his rifle to protect his family and community.
The cast included Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain, Johnny Crawford as Mark McCain, and Paul Fix as Micah Torrance. The series was rated 7.7 on TVMaze and each episode had a runtime of about 30 minutes.
