Both of these are pretty good, all things considered, but remarkably different for being less than two years apart.
The haunting, wistful "The Midas Man" reflects all the best things about Season 1 of BIG VALLEY, when there was still an early-'60s whiff about the show (this installment aired in early 1966) and the program still had that frontier period flavor.
While Season 3's "A Noose is Waiting" has Audra typically in peril (and always makes me wonder how she'd have done as the distraught blonde in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, filmed that same year) and the show has taken on that paranoid, late-'60s vibe -- to say nothing of the anachronistic clothes/hair/cosmetics by this point.
