Favorite western TV show?

[Dave W]

You probably thought that Son In Law with Pauly Shore was a realistic western.

Tammy, wonderful tune... Wasn't it Debbie Reynolds who sang that one in some movie? What ever did happen to good ol' Debbie? Memories are made of this...

Uwe, as we stoke your interest in all things cowboy, when will you reveal your room full of snakeskin cowboy boots, studded holsters, stetsons, and chuckwagon coffee pots?

He's embarrassed to show his snakeskin boots, he didn't realize that you're supposed to take the skin off the snake before you have the boots made.

I think there's some very *special* chaps in that room

Never much of a cowboy fan when it came to playthings and toys. But I was an ardent collector (it started early) of that fine Scottish product (Ken will be in ecstasy to hear this), Timpo Toys, as regards their produce of US Civil War toy figures. And I always had the blue guys win, I was an icon of political correctness even then:





With general political awareness and after having watched movies such as Little Big Man and Soldier Blue, these guys here (loacated on the top of the cupboard in my dad's home office with their wigwams) became the good ones and started getting their due on the blue ones (located in their wooden Fort - I hated plastic Forts - underneath the table besides the cupboard), but always only in ample retribution for previous unwarranted genocide, the grey guys were decommissoned:




Now one other question: What was the name of that black and white TV series that featured a gamer (dressed in full period regalia all in white and with a small Derringer pistol too) on (mostly) a Mississippi steam boat who had a trusted friend/right hand Native American with him who was mute but threw knives when it was necessary which he kept in a scabbard behind his shoulder underneath a blanket? I can't even think of the German title, but I remember well being impressed by it.

Two Jock Mahoney westerns mentioned in one thread.

IIRC he was also Sally Field's stepfather.

[Pilgrim]

Playing quizzmeister......

And how many remember Trackdown, the western series Robert Culp starred in (before he became Kelly Robinson in 'I Spy')?  He played Texas Ranger Hoby Gillman.

[Highlander]

Sorry Uwe (I can appreciate it, though!), but I was playing with my Man From Uncle briefcase, complete with working spy camera, in those days... swallowed the Silver Dollar, whole... 

How about dodgy series... what was that one starring William Shatner and Doug McClure, sort of western stuff, set in San Fran...?

I admit it, I had to check the Internet for that one!

Barbary Coast!  1975-76

Doug McClure as Cash Conover (Dennis Cole in 'pilot')
William Shatner as Jeff Cable
Richard Kiel as Moose Moran
Dave Turner as Thumbs, the piano player

[Highlander]

That's the one, Al... preceded TJ Hooker (sorry to wander off thread - TREKKER ALERT... TREKKER ALERT...) and post Star Trek... SO BAD it was GOOD... storyline sort of crossed time in it's ideas, so stretched reality to the hilt...! probably why it attained "KLASSIK" status once it hit Brit shores... 

[Dave W]

Anyone remember The Quest? It had a short run in the mid-70s. Tim Matheson and Kurt Russell in search of their sister who had been captured years before by Indians.

[Highlander]

Rings a bell but not much I remember about it... looked it up - junked after 1 season...
