If the hero gets shot, it’s always in the shoulder or something, and a minor flesh wound.
When teenagers would be playing records and dancing, it would be to jazzy instrumental music that was supposed to represent “these crazy kids today and their crazy music.”
All adults were trustworthy and a kid with a flat tire on his bike could accept a ride from some strange grownup and not think twice about it.
Supposedly Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke was shot 26 times in the left shoulder alone, total count for all the episodes is around 60 total gun shot wounds, with one arrow wound. Of course Gunsmoke spans b&w to colour. I’m thinking he might have killed upwards of a 1000 bad guys, maybe more.
