Gunsmoke. Nothing like listening to my grandfather's Gunsmoke radio broadcast tapes.

The voice on the Gunsmoke radio show was none other than William (Cannon)Conrad the calirically challenged private eye

Mutual of Omaha and the 20 mule team -- presented by Borax.

What was the old codger's name who introduced each episode.

Episode -- there's an OLD word for you.

I used to love The Rifleman and Wild Wild West when I was a kid.

Doesn't Penny hold some sort of record for being in distress the most of any heroine on TV?

Oh, dear god, don't tell me the hero worship of my formative years was based on a rescue fantasy...

Alias: Smith & Jones

Lasted but a few, never popular, and Original lead Peter Duel was a suicide...he was replaced for a season...but the show never made it

Not a classic, but I was young...oh well....I liked it ok...

There was also a show about Jesse James. I don't recall that it was especially good, but I *do* remember the guy who played Jesse was quite attractive. I'm thinking his name was Christopher Jones, maybe.

The name of the host of Death Valley Days was the old ranger a/k/a the old fart

By the way, The Wild Wild west was cancelled not by por ratings but by the anti violence police. They tried to placate them with James West not wearing a six shooter but it was not enough. What a pity. It was on cable for awhile here in NYC & I hope it pops up again. Throughly enjoyable escapist fare

I wonder, if she is still alive, what Penny looks like. It might be very scary
