Old TV Westerns (Page 1 of 4)

weird that you would post this today. Only us old farts would remember these, and others, but with extended cable now you can catch all sorts of old stuff. This morning I was bored with ESPN and local news and found a Daniel Boone (Fess Parker) episode. I laughed until my sides hurt, they had Ricardo Montalbon (spelling may be off) as an unscrupulous trader who was posing as a colonel in the British army. Only problem is, he still had the thick Spanish accent. I recognized some others in the show but could not come up with names. We have one particular channel that plays a lot of really old stuff, but only some western movies. yes, I miss Chuck Connors and seems like he played professional baseball or football. My favorite as a very young boy was Sky King, and his daughter Penny. Can you remember the dog's name, I'm at a loss?

Oh my, never would have remembered Branded but I can almost hum the intro song, priceless. How about also, "Palladin"??

As a child my introduction was watching Bonanza and The High Chapperal after The Big Match on Sunday Afternoons
Memorable and Impressionable, thought they were super heroes and cool
But my favourite was F Troop, Real fun, i think i need to get that on DVD

Chuck Conners played 1st base for the Chicago Cubs.
How about Rawhide, with a very young Clint Eastwood??

Some time ago I bought a box with the first 20 films of "Kung Fu" with David Carradine. Some senior forum members might remember it from the early 70s. Strictly spoken it´s not a Western but rather an East-Western.
I wanted to test if you can still watch it 35 years later. You can! I liked it so much that I´ve bought meanwhile a second DVD box. It might be nostalgia, but who cares.

The F Troop writers pulled a fast one on the censors back in the day. The Indian tribe in the show were the Fahkowees and almost every episode would have someone from the F Troop ask, where the Fahkowee? It was a fave of mine too.

Old Fart here!  Showed MsTia a preview on tv of Rawhide a couple years back on some special.  She got a good look at Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) without his shirt on and had to fan herself.

I believe you are mistaken.  The were the Heckowies.  I had a book of F Troop stories, and the TV show had the storyline the same as the book.  They were lost , they cried "Where the heck are we"? Hence the Heckowies.  Maybe your ears were more acute than mine, but that was the "official" version.  I never heard Fahkowee.  Not saying you didn't Jdawg. LOVED that show.  (Sgt.
