Ah, yes... tripping down memory lane. You folks out there talking about
Fireball XL-5, Supercar etc. have brought back my fond memories of television
addiction. I need another fix quick!

How about this:

The names of the male and female (if I may put it this way) marionette stars
of Fireball XL-5 are Steve and Venus.

The name of the chimp on Supercar is Mitch.

Wow, how I love jogging my memory!

Now to get to the meat of this message......

REMEMBER THE OLD TV WESTERNS?

Wanted Dead or Alive, starring Steve McQueen
Tombstone Territory, starring ? as Clay Hollister
Bat Masterson, starring Gene Barry as Bat
Wyatt Earp, starring Hugh O'Brien

I'm hot now!

Fury, starring Peter graves as Jim and ? as Pete (the old guy-cook) and ? as
   the kid.
Laramie, starring Robert Fuller as Jess Harper and John Smith as Slim
The Tall Men, starring Barry Sullivan as sherrif Pat Garret and Clu Gulliger
   as Billy the Kid
The Rifleman, starring Chuck Conners as Lucas McKay and Johnny Crawford as
   Mark.... Pa, Pa
Have Gun Will Travel, starring Richard Boone as Wire Palladine (note- he had
   a first name)
Rawhide, starring Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates and ? 
Wagon Train, starring Ward Bond as the wagonmaster and Robert Horton as Flint
   McCulloch
My Friend Flicka, starring ?
Shennandoah starring (I almost lost my memory) Robert Horton
The Outcasts, starring Don Murray(sic) and ? "We're not friends, we just 
   ride together!"

I can't believe I'm remembering all of these shows!

Help me with this title, starring Walter Brennan after Real McCoys, as the 
   fastest gun in the West. "My grandson's the third fastest gun in the West,
   my son is the second, and I'm first... no brag, just fact!"

I love it, I love it

I could go on and on, but I'll let someone else have some fun pulling
things out of those crevices in the brain. Please complete the list and/or
add to it.

And then there was Cannonball, the first trucking show about the time Highway 
Patrol was on with Broderick Crawford.

Memories, memories.......
