3:10 to Yuma?

After many long days of painful, maddening, and sickening news, our family has been enjoying evening trips back to the thrilling days of yesteryear via the DVD time machine. Old TV shows have reinforced our remembrance of how America used to be, both during the times the shows were made and the stories of the wild west and America's "Manifest Destiny." It's been wonderful to go back in time, to re-visit stories of men who were for the most part valiant, courageous, honorable, full of integrity, law-abiding, and steadfast, and of women who were for the most part gracious, kind, gentle, motherly, and sweet. Of course, both sexes were honest, strong, capable, independent, and courageous.
The shows we have been watching have reminded us of just how free we used to be, before political-correctness ruined everything. Most of them seem to be set in the 1870s, after the Civil War, when people moved westward to start fresh, to homestead, and to make something of themselves by hard work and perseverance. No matter the series, most all of the stories have some sort of moral, and the good guys always win. They are good lessons, reinforcing the vallues that made America GREAT!
I love The Cisco Kid, but so far, I have found at least 4 different horses that he is riding.
There are even various chase scenes where he is on 2 or even 3 different horses-—without stopping.
Since Diablo was such an unusually marked horse, they sure didn’t respect the audience enough to try & find better matches & to keep continuity correct in the scenes.
But I love the show...
Also Robin Hood.
Forget that, the other poster got it right.
I am going to swing for the fences with his question.
William Conrad—who later played Cannon...???
Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain: Television’s original “Psycho Dad.”
Our favorites so far are “The Big Valley,” “Maverick” (the original), “The Texan” (sponsored by Viceroy Cigarettes!), and “Have Gun-Will Travel.” Next in the line-up: “Bonanza,” “Wagon Train,” and “Cheyenne.”
Those are good also Laredo, Yancy Derringer, The Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Roy,Rodgers,Wanted Dead or Alive, Rawhide, the Rebel. There were just so many.
ME TV has the right to WWW then they took off the air for the summer not sure if they still have the rights
Speaking of Old western
If you get Cozi TV in your area they have original Lone Ranger and Hopland Cassidey
They took off Tales of Well Fargo give it rest they were play that too

3:10 to Yuma?
Lonesome Dove is the finest TV miniseries I ever saw. Nothing else has come close to it.
Any western before 1968, and especially any western with RANDOLPH SCOTT John Wayne, Joel McCrea, Errol Flynn, Audie Murphy, Jeff Chandler, Jimmy Stewart,Henry Fonda.
My personal favorites are all those made in the 1950s.
William Conrad.
I had the chance to hear Gunsmoke on the radio as a kid.
***It really had a gritty feel to it in the early days.**
They had good scripts aimed at adults without offending the kids.
All that changed in 1968 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered and TV went into an anti-violence panic. They brought in lots of kids on the show,(even Milburn Stone complained about all the kids now on the show) and dumbed down the scripts.
And his loyal dog, King, costarred.
I have severral of Bellah books. There are old and I;ve had to glue them back together, but they sit on my favorite shelf!
Jared, Heath, Nick: Audrey is in trouble again!! lol
Loved “The Big Valley”. Learned you don’t cross Barbara Stanwyck!
“Just the facts ma’am” and the head nods. Priceless.
The original 4:10 to Yuma, not the remake with Bale and Crowe.
Oh yeah, 3:10. lol
She was awesome! The epitome of the strong woman who helped her husband establish the family ranch and who raised children who grew up into responsible adults.
One of the most refreshing aspects to this series (and all the others) is the fact that all of the adults act like adults. None of them are childish, petulant, immature, complaining, whining, blaming or have any other Tantrum Boy behaviors.
