If you just watched the premiere of NBC’s new
Blindspot, a drama series about a woman who emerges from a giant duffel bag in Times Square with no memory of her identity or past, and thought: “Wow, that’s new!” – well, not really. In the 1965 Western series
A Man Called Shenandoah, Robert Horton (from
Wagon Train) played a man, shot and left for dead in the Wild West, who gives himself the name of Shenandoah and roams the territory searching for clues to his identity, and who may have wanted him dead. Okay, so he doesn’t have any tattoos, but you have to admit, it’s close. And it’s not the only TV series based on an amnesiac premise. I can think of two others – but ironically, and fittingly, I can’t recall their names. In any event, getTV presents 10 episodes of
A Man Called Shenandoah, which to my knowledge has never before been televised since its original one-season run. To find out how and where to get getTV, visit
