Re: The Rifleman: Victor Sen Yung

Aloha Lou, and Chan family members,

One would suspect that the writers of "The Queue" episode had a little fun with the Charlie Chan references.

The Chinese aphorisms and the boy referring to his father, played by Victor Sen Yung, as "pop" are nice touches. Even Mr. Yung's character is humble, just like Charlie Chan. The acting is first-rate is this little 25 minute drama.

The message that people are different from one another is the point that impressed me the most about this episode. This was a heavy topic in the early 1960s. 54 years after its original TV broadcast, the message from "The Queue" is as important today as it was in 1961.

Glad you enjoyed the episode. TYSM.
