    Default A sitcom view of Colorado: Netflix's "The Ranch"

    From The Denver Post:



    Netflix’s “The Ranch” says a lot about us. Boy howdy! This is how Hollywood sees the Western part of fly-over country. Colorado is a mountain backdrop to cowboy twangs and country livin’ with an annoying, raucous laugh-track echoing through these-here-parts.

    The first season’s 10 episodes drop April 1 on Netflix.

    Set in present day on a Colorado ranch, this is an Old West view of the state. Unlike many actual Colorado ranchers, who have satellite TVs, Amazon Prime and modern sensibilities, these folks are quaint as can be, countrified cowpokes doing a lot of porch sittin’ and beer drinkin’.

    The comedy stars Ashton Kutcher (shirtless in the clip), Danny Masterson, Sam Elliott and Debra Winger. After a failed semi-pro football career, Colt (Kutcher) returns home to run the family ranching business with his older brother Jameson “Rooster” (Masterson) and father Beau (Elliott), whom he hasn’t seen in 15 years. Colt has a hankering to play ball again. Winger stars as Colt’s and Rooster’s mother, Maggie, who runs the local bar.

    Of course in reality the series has nothing to do with Colorado. It is shot in front of a live studio audience on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles.

    Not to prejudge, but the clip is not so promising. We’ll see how affirming or offensive the laugh-track and the depiction of Colorado are in the actual series.
