The main reason I love The Rifleman is the relationship between Lucas and Mark. I love how they don't have to say they love each other all the time, but they show how much they love each other all the time. Just with the way they look at each other or hug or something. It's so cute to watch. And how they look out for each other. Lucas takes care of his son, but Mark has taken care of Lucas as well, especially when he's been hurt by some crazy. I love how anyone tries to hurt Mark and Lucas gets mad and they usually end up dead.
I love when they've been separated for some reason and then they get back together and they hug and it's just a joy to watch. That's how you know they love each other. There's a scene in The Surveyor's at the end that I just love. Mark asks Lucas if he missed him and I just love how Lucas replies. It's so sweet and I've watched that scene a ton of times because I love it so much.
I love watching the video someone made of clips from the show and they are all Lucas and Mark and the song is Everything from Lifehouse. I love the song and it totally fits. I was listening to the song at work today and I couldn't help but thinking of my Sammy. I know it's stupid to still love him, but I can't stop. I miss him every day and he was my everything. I remember coming home from work and going to see him right away. He always made me smile with his cute laugh. Now I come home and watch The Rifleman to feel good and smile. I wish I still was able to see my little Sammy. He would have spelled out The Rifleman with his blocks. I miss his western room and all the cute stuff he had in it. I'll never forgive EA for closing Pet Society down.
