The Virginian (repackaged as The Men from Shiloh in its final year) is an American western television series which aired on the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) television network for nine seasons from 1962 to 1971, for a total of 249 episodes. It was a spin-off from a 1958 summer series called Decision. Filmed in color, The Virginian became television's first 90-minute western series (75 minutes excluding commercial breaks). It originally starred James Drury, Doug McClure and Lee J. Cobb. Cobb left the series after four seasons and was replaced over the years by mature character actors John Dehner, Charles Bickford, John McIntire and Stewart Granger - who portrayed different characters.

The series was television's third longest running western, behind Bonanza at 14 seasons and 430 episodes, and Gunsmoke at 20 seasons and 635 episodes. It is loosely based on The Virginian: Horseman of the Plains, a 1902 western novel by Owen Wister. Percy Faith composed the theme. Enjoy!
