Re: Fav 60\'s Series

Nick Adams starred in "The Rebel". I seem to remember he died young. My favorites:

Andy Griffith (all-time best TV show ever)
Bonanza
Star Trek
Beverly Hillbillies
The Rifleman
Route 66
Gunsmoke
Dobie Gillis
Have Gun, Will Travel
77 Sunset Strip

Does anyone else remember "Malibu Run" or "The Whirlybirds" ?

Yep, "The Rebel" starred Nick Adams as Johnny Yuma <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.womenwritersblock.com/ourfavwest7.htm>The Rebel</A>. He carried a sawed off shotgun.

Branded was great - I can still remember the theme song or at least the somewhat sillier version of it. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I think I remember Chuck Connors umpiring pro baseball games in the '60's.

OK here is the Chuck Connors trivia answer. While a Boston Celtic, Connors was the first player in professional basketball to break a backboard.

He didn't "shatter" it, however. He "splintered" it. Backboards were still made of wood back then. He did it in warmups before a game against Chicago causing the tipoff to be delayed an hour.

Interestingly, neither the Celtics nor the Bulls won that game. The winning team was the Chicago STAGS.

Now for something more current. What NBA player who retired a just a year ago was named after Connors?
