High Chaparral was a second favorite, just because it wasn't so dirt-free. I always thought it was humorous when somebody got off an extended stagecoach ride looking like they'd just stepped out of their hotel room.

And Artemus Gordon was worth the entire rest of Wild Wild West.

As an adult, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. Hugh O'Brien plays Earp, but the supporting characters make the show. Morgan Woodward as Shotgun Gibbs, Trevor Bardette as Old Ike Clanton, and Douglas Fowley, as the best Doc Holliday I ever saw in all the movies and other TV shows about Earp.

James Garner was great regardless of what role he played.

I remember watching Kung Fu when i was growing up, and it influenced both my love of both the Western genre and of Asian culture. Admittedly, somewhat colored by David Carridine's behavior later in life.

I was a student and Black Student Union member manning our table in the student union mall at the University of Arizona when advance men came on campus looking for Black extras for an episode on the 10th Calvary, the Buffalo Soldiers who were based ad Ft. Huachuca south of Tucson.

They asked if I and my friends would be interested in being in the show as members of the Buffalo Soldiers. He didn't have to ask twice. Our whole group reported for duty for two days. They suited us up in blue cavalry uniforms for two days of filming. Got paid $45 bucks, free lunch. It was a great experience. Stars were Linda Crystal, Cameron Mitchel and Henry Darrow (who had to have a stool to mount his horse).

We were shown standing at attention in the background as one of us, who was clothed in a corporal's uniform with two stripes, bought a general his horse.

I used to have a b&w Polaroid shot of us posing in a group in our uniforms but it's so long ago, the image has faded away.

The High Chaparral (I'm a big Cameron Mitchell/Henry Darrow fan)
The Big Valley
Have Gun, Will Travel
Wanted Dead or Alive

66. My great grandparents were the Wild West.
Fri Nov 1, 2024, 07:50 PM
Nov 1

My great grandmothers were the sorts of women who could kill a bad man and call the sheriff/coroner to clean up the mess and file the proper paperwork. My great grandfathers were dreamers. Their wives were the hunters handy with rifles and knives.

My grandparents had some things in common -- they were not Mormons and they'd left their family farms and ranches behind for the bright lights of the big city, somehow landing in Hollywood.

I have pictures of my grandparents with movie and television stars who portrayed the Wild West as It Never Was.

My mom had no patience with television or movie westerns and wouldn't let us watch them. During World War II her parents had both worked in the naval shipyards as welders and they'd sent her off on the train every summer to live with her grandparents on their ranch, supposedly to keep her safe from any Japanese invasion. (Mostly it was because they were not good parents.)

My great grandparent's house had no indoor plumbing and my mom was expected to work alongside everyone else, which must have been disconcerting to a city girl. Summer was not a vacation. The house still had no indoor plumbing when me and my siblings were kids but whenever we visited my mom shielded us from any chores my great grandma might have demanded. This caused some family friction.

Weirdly, we were allowed to watch The Wild Wild West, maybe because it's what's now called an "alternate universe" fantasy, far removed from the Wild West my mom knew. I have a boxed DVD set of that.

The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. I love actor Dan Haggerty. He was a charitable and kind man.

My other television series was Little House on the Prairie.


As an adult I still revisit Grizzly Adams and LHOTP. I also like The Son with Pierce Bronson and Zahn McClarnon. I was disappointed when the show was canceled. The Son: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3839822/



I picked up all 3 seasons of Deadwood on DVD at an estate sale some months ago and I still haven't watched it. Also on my "would like watch list" is Longmire and Yellowstone, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Other than that, probably not an actual western, was The Real McCoy. I loved Grandpa, Walter Brennen (look him up, what a horrible right winger he was). I got to meet him at the fair, my first experience that people on TV were big like the rest of us. I pondered that for a very long time.
