Unlike the similar and more vehement clashes between Archie Bunker and Mike Stivic in ''[[All in the Family]]'' where the latter comes out on top due to ignorance and lack of ability to make cohesive arguments on Archie's part, however, it is the often-clueless and hypocritical Ryan who ends up on the losing end of arguments with the more well-versed and level-headed Mike. On the other hand, Mike gets along very well with his youngest daughter Eve due to them sharing similar political views and interests, as he does with Boyd, Kristin and Ryan's son and Mike's grandson (and as expected, Kristin and Ryan are not impressed that Boyd has more in common with his grandfather than with them). | + | |Peter Breck plays Clay Culhane, a gunfighter-turned-lawyer who seeks to help those in need of legal representation; co-starring Russell Johnson as Marshal Gib Scott. |

Unlike the similar and more vehement clashes between Archie Bunker and Mike Stivic in ''[[All in the Family]]'' where the latter comes out on top due to ignorance and lack of ability to make cohesive arguments on Archie's part, however, it is the often-clueless and hypocritical Ryan who ends up on the losing end of arguments with the more well-versed and level-headed Mike. On the other hand, Mike gets along very well with his youngest daughter Eve due to them sharing similar political views and interests, as he does with Boyd, Kristin and Ryan's son and Mike's grandson (and as expected, Kristin and Ryan are not impressed that Boyd has more in common with his grandfather than with them). |
