Did any episode of the show change your life?

Did the 35 year old then you want to emulate his character and TeeVee persona

Did you rush out and get one of those sheep skin coats, start wearing a bolo tie, spurs to church?

Dream about riding a horse thru New York City?

Just asking

Maybe some regrets about NOT acting on those thoughts and notions?

He was an environmental, liberal fu. Hck..

Relentless.

Need to be when taking on the wabigoon and his minions. 🤣😂🤣

"More of a Roy Rogers Fan. Yippee Ki-Yay [bleep]."

BMT

19 and 70, huh?

I have not

Was it legal to ride that horse in town/

NYC has LEO on horseback, so prolly

No

Way before my time

Maybe I can stream it, looks like a great show

Slum seems to know more and care about boomer culture and media than the boomers he seems to disdain.

Sheriff Lobo would whip older chester

'ere ya go.......

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

McCloud was just a spin off of an earlier Universal movie starring Clint Eastwood titled Coogan's Bluff.

Universal had the writer-producer Glen Larson adapt the movie Coogan's Bluff into the series McCloud.

Larson did that with a number of Universal movies, for whom he worked under contract.

FWIW.

L.W.

Riiiiight Coogan' Bluff. Good one.

Poor horse wouldn't stand a chance in NYC today
Gang raped by a bunch of muzzies, then butchered by a messican gang.

I wanted to see Diana Muldaur nekkid.

Had a nice sheepskin coat like that.

Some bastid stole it out my car and I was pissed at my big black dog who I left sleeping in the back seat. Best guess I have, it was someone my dog knew and trusted.

Back in the early 80's, that coat cost $300 or so. Was given to me by a friend. Used to be her old man. Killed by a rival biker gang.

Might be a good thing I got stolen, coulda had some bad JuJu on it.

No sir, I wanted to drive a Jeep like Gleen Foard did in Cad'e sCounty (also starring EDGAR BUCHANAN!!!):



I wonder if that rack of lever-actions was recycled from The Andy Griffith Show???

I wanted to fly a plane like





SKY KING!

I wonder if Hoss Cartwright shot at him for flyin' over The Ponderosa and scaring the cattle??

Don't care.

I think I was rather enamored with Sky King's daughter more than the plane

Bonanza became Ponderosa with the Freshtastiks Salad and Soup Bar

Mmmm, boomers loved that cattle chute entrance. Hee yahh!!!

Those 3/8” steaks and texas toast and fat steak fries. Slop it all over with ketchup.

Take mama on Mother’s Day. Wooooo!!!

Goddam I can bing sum nanza

The big red roho bull episode that only would listen to the little mexican kid was my fav epasode. Ok Roho!!

And they build a speshal cart for him to ride in

🤣

Ben Cartwright shoulda let Hop Sing do his thing and make a lotta steaks.

McCloud was kind of a tough guy and carried a SAA .45 IIRC. Chester was a wimp in comparison. The show was part of a weekly rotation of crime dramas. Richard Boone was Heck Ramsey. Rock Hudson was in McMillan & Wife. I think there were others.

Yea, a definite boomer here. I don’t think Slumlord is much of any younger. In fact, I think he and Wabigoon might be the same person. Kind of like Superman and Clark Kent. They’re both kind of always around, but you never see them together. 🤔

Heyyyyy........hmmm

That coat looks warm.

Been to the site where Bonanza was filmed in Nineteen and Ninty Seven. By Incline Village Lake Tahoe. Pretty cool. They had a wax Chink <Hop Sing> by the food table in the ranch house.

LOL !
I think Slummy’s father must’ve tied him up in front of the TV and made him watch all those shows he hates so much.
Or made him stand there and hold the antenna the whole time to get the channel tuned in. 😜

I remember watching all those shows at the age of 10 or 11 in 1970 or so.
McCloud was cool cause he carried a Colt SAA in .45 Colt. And he constantly pissed off his Captain.

Thanks LW. Good info and it makes sense, now.
Coogan’s Bluff was a good early Eastwood film.

I was also a big Cade's County fan.

As for the rack of lever actions, they may have been stolen from Gunsmoke.

Leanwolf, you know anything about this, and when did you know it? 😆

and a vegetarian:(

What if Gavin Macleod from the Love Boat played McCloud?
Dig up some google chit on that.

This thread just Got Serious. Damn.....

Gavin Macleod wasn’t gay (apparently was quite a christian fundamentalist, later in life), but kinda always put out a real gay “vibe”.

Gavin Macleod as McCloud.
I bet it would have been FABULOUS….

To mny pbrs thus ebinenn lemme tankonit

But.....

I took the kids to the Ponderosa movie set back when it was a tourist attraction. It was cool for those of us that grew up watching the Cartwrights. Humming the theme song walking into the Bonanza cabin we've all seen in the series. The dining and living room with giant fireplace, tiny kitchen minus Hop Sing.

It's private property now. Whoever bought that ranch has some beautiful views.

Just a bit of trivia. Dennis Weaver was a Navy fighter pilot in the Pacific during WW ii.

FWIW.

L.W.

Loved that place as a kid up there in Incline Village.
