Harts of the West - Season 1

The Hart family eagerly awaits the delivery of their "stuff" from Chicago. Meanwhile, a champion rodeo clown whom Dave hired to help break wild Mustangs winds up charming Alison and the kids instead.

When Alison's intimidating powerbroker mother comes to visit, Dave tries to set her up with Jake, touting him as a 'gentleman.' A prairie dog infestation has Dave squirming, and one pesky pest named Ralph really makes him work to rid the Tumbleweed of its rodent problem.

R.O. is zapped by lightning and develops many personalities, one of which is Dave's late father. Meanwhile, Zane disobeys his dad by accompanying some new friends to Dead Man's Leap, where he's challenged to jump across a daunting gap.

Sheriff R.O. looks for clues leading to a suspect in the murder of Garral's most beloved bovine, Irene, who dropped dead while Garral was painting her portrait. Alison gets the urge to work, while Duke's more interested in being a cowboy than an 'A' student.

Marcus sends a troubled inner-city teen, Evan, to stay at the Tumbleweed in order to instill a sense of discipline in him, and he's immediately put to work. As Evan spends time on the ranch, it becomes clear to the Harts that the kid's more misunderstood than miscreant.

As Auggie turns 60, he announces that he's going to die... on the Harts' property, where his late wife is buried. However, Dave needs him to stick around in order to help Duke win a sheep-shearing competition.

Jake's hotheaded brother, romance writer Ezekiel, returns to Sholo and threatens to kill Jake in a shootout for a decades-long perceived slight. Dave assumes a reluctant R.O.'s role in order to try and salvage the Tyrell bond.

Brimming with unsubstantiated confidence, Dave vows to win the Frontier Day buckboard race. When he meets his partner, the elderly widow of a previous champion, however, Dave's hopes plummet. Irked by Dave's judgement, Alison enters the contest and partners with the unyielding frontier widow herself.

Jake's too old to enter the annual bull riding competition, but don't let Jake know. Dave makes the mistake of expressing worry about Jake's poor back, entangling him in a guilt trip that leads to him entering the competition himself, in Jake's stead. Hoping to reclaim some forgotten acclaim for Sholo, Dave see-saws and mounts barrels in preparation for his bull riding debut. As Dave is strewn while training for a boon, L'Amour swoons, falling for a stoic and striking rodeo Romeo.

After already-divorced Rose throws R.O. out of her house, he comes to the Harts begging - or perhaps demanding - for a place to stay indefinitely. When R.O. – way – overstays his welcome, Alison puts her Western hospitality out to pasture.

The Harts assuredly gather their gear for a family vacation in the Sholo countryside, eager to enjoy a luxury stay in the Wild West. The peaceful adventure that they've planned soon twists into an assortment of fiascos, including a mine-shaft accident, a burgling bear, and turbulent tornadoes.

Dave's former boss in lingerie sales visits Sholo and holds an impromptu photoshoot for next year's calendar. When the Tumbleweed's well runs try, Auggie tries to locate a water source with a dowsing rod, channeling his profound connection with the land. Zane rescues an ensnared donkey and ventures to impress an alluringly insightful lingerie model.

Today's Dave's birthday, and it all kicks off with a stampede of cows to outrun! An impactful blow to a singularly sensitive area leaves Dave reeling over the presence of a cattle driver who hopes to drive his prices up exorbitantly. Once he's had time to regather himself, Dave workshops an idea to run a cattle drive himself, forgoing any need for a third-party driver at all. In order to uphold the Sholo way, the Harts must deliver a herd to Carson City.

On his tenth birthday, Duke embarks on a rite of passage trip through the Wild West with the rugged and resourceful Jake. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Alison worries that she may be pregnant, prompting the Hart parents to ponder the possibility of having another child.
