1. The main reason I love The Rifleman so much is that after every episode I'm smiling and I have a good feeling in my heart. The show makes me happy and that's what matters the most.
2. Love the relationship between Lucas and Mark. Their father and son bond is so cute to watch. Doesn't matter what they're doing. I especially love the times when they've been apart or in danger and get back together. It's so cute to watch.
3. Johnny Crawford as Mark McCain. He's the best young actor I've ever watched on a TV program. Bonus, he sings great as well.
4. Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain. Wow! That man was awesome with or without his rifle. Love watching him be the best father I've ever seen on TV.
5. Horses. I just love the horses. I love watching Mark and Lucas riding their horses together.
6. Paul Fix as Micah Torrance. There's never been a better Marshall on a show. Love watching Micah and Lucas have their coffee together and I love their talks.
7. Love all the guest stars that either made one performance or many. There's never been a character I haven't liked on this show.
8. Black and white. I love that the show is in black in white. I don't think I'd ever want to see it in color.
9. I love all the writers and directors. There were 168 episodes and I've loved them all.
10. Last but not least, I love the McCain Ranch. It sure would have been nice to live there with Lucas and Mark.
