TV shows...the good, bad and the ugly...

I won a contest when I was 6 or 7 and met Fess Parker on camera and wore a coon skin cap...

Off camera Dad and Fess Parker talked about their mutual friend Ed Ames who played Mingo.

Amazing! I met Fess Parker in about 1955, on a TV show in OKC called "The Prissy Thomas Show". My buddy and I had won a state wide amateur contest, and our prize was to get to play and sing on the show. Fess Parker was the special guest. It was a big thrill for me, especially when she asked him to sing "Davey Crockett". He said that he left his guitar at home, so my buddy loaned him his.

If you haven't already, try 'Cheyenne'. Same type of show.

'Here Come The Brides' is fairly decent also.

What about Guns of Paradise?

For me it was the Mayor Art show in San Francisco...

We have watched all of the Cheyenne episodes. Another one that we have watched most of the episodes is Laramie. We will have to check out Here Comes the Brides. Not sure that I ever heard of it.

It's more of a comedy really, set in late 1860s Seattle focusing on bringing women to the loggers:

Sugarfoot. Will Hutchins, "Sugarfoot" is 90 years old and still kicking.

While in my covid quarantine I watched a lot of Tales of Wales Fargo. Jim Hardie was a cool guy. Also watched a lot of Laramie. I like old westerns and would rather watch one that I have seen before rather than watching the new sitcoms.

Audie Murphy was one bad dude too even in real life.

Just discovered “Have Gun, Will Travel” with Richard Boone.

Very interesting. Not the typical cowboy show.

I watched everything available a few years ago. Also "The Guns of Will Sonnett."

I've watched several episodes of that. I also have seen about every episode of "The Restless Gun" and "Tombstone Territory" I could find. Another series available on YouTube is or was "The Magnificent Seven", which ran from 1998 to 2000. I watched every episode, then said "Is that all there is"...

There are a lot of the old westerns avaialble on Youtube, although I fear they will start charging for them soon. They have to make money somehow...​
