    Sheridan

    The romances of the Macahan family weren't particularly interesting throughout this series, especially if you didn't think Bruce Boxleitner was the prairie chick magnet that he's made out to be.

    But they really overdid it in this episode with Phil Sheridan putting the moves on Molly Culhane, "the most beautiful" woman he ever saw. Sheridan was already married in real life. He got married in 1875. His wife's name was Irene. The couple had had 4 kids, 2 of the girls were twins. The last one was born in 1880.

    The most ridiculous thing, though, was casting a 6'2" actor to play Phil Sheridan who was only 5'5" tall!!
