This review sort of encompasses both parts 1 and 2.
There was not enough material for a two-parter. The first episode had way too much filler. Burgess Meredith prattling on and on, Hey Soos walking in circles all night, and other dullness dominated the hour.
The show also lacked action. Very little cattle, no gunfights, just a lot of talking.
Burgess Meredith was very popular back in the day, but his acting here has not stood the test of time.
It also makes no sense for Wishbone and Mushy to hang around town for hours. They were supposed to pick up supplies; instead they are in the Sheriff's office, trying to argue their position (or rather, the position of Burgess Meredith). Surely Mr. Favor would want these drovers back in the camp ASAP, not lingering in town sticking their nose into other people's business.
Speaking of Wishbone and Mushy, it would be one thing for Rowdy Yates or Gil Favor to insert themselves into this explosive situation. But Wishbone the cook? He is going to confront a mob of vigilantes? No, not likely.
When the Locals bring Burgess, Wishbone, and Mushy back into the drovers' camp, the story bogs down again. Way too slow. When is something going to happen?
We get yet another soliloquy from Burgess Meredith. This is really starting to drag. Come on, please, we want some action!
Finally, the end of the show is mercifully approaching. We get the action we have been waiting for. But it's too little, too late.
The best I can do for Part 2 of Incident at Dead Horse is
