Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire More TV trivia (old time)

I want to say Gunsmoke with Jim Arness as Matt Dillon but the trick gun throws me. I remember when you could listen to Gunsmoke on the radio and watch it on TV at the same time. Late fifties.

Maybe Have Gun Will Travel ,Richard Boone, he had a derringer in his belt buckle, I think it went off in 67 and ran for 2 or 3 years.

I know it was Sugarfoot and the unusual weapon was that guitar or his singing, or could it be his law books???????

Could have been The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp with his Buntline special. That was 55 I think. Can't remember who the star was for sure but I think it was Hugh O'Bryan
<br>BCR

Could it be Johnny Yuma? The Rebel? And his trusty sawed off Winchester? Or was it a shotgun. No I believe it was the Winnie..........Final answer.

Can't remember who played Yuma. I can see him but the name is gone.
<br>
<br>Heard he got et by a bear.

Final answer? "yes." We have a winner on all counts except the spelling, it O'Brian! Congrats BCR we owe ya a cold one of your chioce! Must be the same signs of a misspent youth such as mine, westerns ruled for me.

mercedvh, The actor in "The Rebel" was Nick Adams and he had a sawed off Greener he carried in a saddel holster he called his "Hog Leg" Bcr got the answer I was looking for.
<br>Steve Mc Queen carried the sawed off winnie in "Wanted Dead or Alive" somebody here said he called it his "Mares Leg"

Partsman, I believe you are thinking about "Yancy Deringer" but thats all I remember about that one.

Thank you right kindly T. I'll just have me a big NEHI grape (you 'member them?) Stain your mouth purple for a week. How 'bout springing for a Moon Pie to go with it?
<br>BCR

Yep, Nehi or Orange Crush. I personally prefer RC Cola with my Moon Pies. How 'bout salted penuts IN you Coca Cola?

I will have to say that a big R ah C cola and a moon pie is just about as good as it gets. Makes Orange Crush and ZuZus pale in comparison. Will have to take issue on the peanuts in a Coke though. Much better in a Dr Pepper. The slightly sweeter taste just can't be beat. T do you reckon the younger genetation has any idea what we are talking about?
<br>BCR

Well BCR, I gotta agree with the exception of the Dr Pepper & peanuts, I prefer pretzels with my Dr Pepper (Rold Gold tiny twists). I also believe the little pleasures are lost on todays youngins.

T-Lee you and Boggy must have been the older boys when I was a youngster, my older sister got to drink soda pop from a bottle or can but me and my buddies got Cool Aid or Fizzies, remember those round tablets that fizzed like Alka Selzer and tasted nearly as bad. Ok what happened to Shasta sodas? Draft root beer.
<br>When I was young in the mid 50's my dad drove a door to door bread delievery truck. We had milk delievered to our front door when we lived in town. My family did not have TV until around 1965, So I am a loss on these old shows. Must have missed some mighty fine Americanna.

For more old fart revelations go to the "Survival" thread. We have bared our soul on that one.
