sassnetguy50 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It just finished on the outdoor channel. Good show. It was cancelled because of advertisers, not lack of viewership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Longmire is a very good show. What’s funny is I didn’t know he was from Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Taylor is also Mr. Jones from the Matrix and Dr. Sharkbait in The Meg. Longmire was probably one of the best serial shows in quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Taylor does a perfectly acceptable Walt Longmire. And he manages a very good American accent! Occasionally, some little bit of "down under" twang might be detectable, but it's pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It started out as a great show, but like most (all) serials it got boring later on. I watched the first couple of series and then got completely turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Wyatt Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Watched it from day one. Taylor is a good actor and the New Mexico scenery was beautiful. IMHO the first two seasons were the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ornery Cuss, SASS # 76071 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Outstanding in all respects IMHO; acting cast, scenery. Not every episode was a winner, but most were. I read all the books and found series and books to be fairly consistent. His deputy Vic is terrific as a former Philly cop; I worked with a lot of Philly cops and she nails it. Anyhow, recommend it highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 It's a good show and I watched a lot of it. Eventualy I got tired of Walt's impenetrable laconic personality, but still it was a fine show. Taylor was very fine as Walt Longmire. I never detected any Aussie accent at all.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Longmire started off on A&E and while it was their most watched show they cancelled it because the "demographic" was old folks mostly. I guess they don't want our money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I wondered how they could do that, but then decided that old Walt is not a member of the screen actors guild. Because just like with Highlander, there can be only one. James Stewart, a British actor, came over here to make his fortune in Hollywood. They told him he would have to change his name, because there already was a James Stewart. So he made his last name his first name, and pulled another name out of his butt, and became Stewart Granger. I'm pretty sure that if I went to the SAG and tried to register, and told them that my name was John Wayne, they would not let me join. Does not matter that Duke is dead. Cannot be another John Wayne. When I heard that Robert Taylor was going to be sheriff Longmire, I was astounded. I didn't know he was still alive. And if he was he had to be close to 100. Oh. Different Robert Taylor. Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
