The High Chaparral Funniest Episodes

Certain scenes and sometimes whole episodes were played mostly for fun. Knowing our characters' more serious traits made the funny scenes that much funnier. Whether intentional or not, HC's humorous moments were always genuine, not slapstick, and usually added yet another dimension to the characters that made them even more endearing. In this department auxiliary characters were important as well. Just having Bart Kellogg or Perlita in the story should be enough to qualify it for this list of humorous episodes.
