Family is where you find it in the Wild West! Burly drifter
John Murphy (Merlin Olsen) becomes the unlikely caretaker of a group of orphaned
children growing up in America#s Wild West. Touched by their plight, he poses as
a priest with lovely local school teacher Mae Woodward (Katherine Cannon) and
his miner buddy (Moses Gunn) assisting with the children. Together this
makeshift family gets involved in a series of adventures, encountering
unscrupulous businessmen, gamblers, horse rustlers, bank robbers and much more!
Created by Little House on the Prairie#s Michael Landon and originally aired
from 1981 to 1983, Father Murphy provides quality entertainment for the entire
family, touchingly exploring the bonds of family and friendship as tested by the
trials of life on the rugged frontier. |
