Have seen it multiple times and LOVED it! James Garner is my hero and he’s great in it.

I was told I have Black-Dutch. Took me years to find out that it stood for Cherokee.
(I already knew that my great-grandmother was Cherokee, but I couldn’t figure out what the Black-Dutch was. Don’t know why they separated it into 2 names.)
So, Irish and Cherokee.

I have a copy also. Once cancel culture started becoming more prominent, I bought a lot of movies so we could enjoy them whenever we wanted. Books, too.

It would be fun to force woke libtards to watch itIf they would just lighten up for a while, they would enjoy a really funny movie.

Cherokees really got around, it seems.

My oldest daughter recently mentioned she’d never seen this movie, which surprised me, especially since our family loves movies like Airplane, Dumb & Dumber, and Hot Shots and I thought we’d seen them all together. Hopefully it’s streaming somewhere so she can see what she’s been missing all these years.

My mom said me the same story to explain her black hair and blue eyes. After doing genealogy for over 25 years, I realize any Spanish DNA the Irish may have acquired from the wrecked armada story pretty much disappeared 300 yrs ago.

Excuse me while I whip this out.

one of the funniest movies ever made ... a true classic because it’s stood the test of time ... even funnier today than when it was made ...

“Blazing Saddle will be aired tonight between 9:01 PM and 9:12 PM.”
That is the only way you will see this movie 1-2 years.

I need to hear some frontier gibberish from Gabby.

Blazing Saddles did more to abolish racism than anything in my life time except maybe Martin Luther Kings” I Have A Dream” speech.
The Woke crap we have going down these days is trying hard to destroy the legacy of Blazing Saddles.
Come to think of it, the wokesters are trying just as hard to destroy the legacy of Martin Luther King as well.

Cherokees really got around, it seems. So it would seem. It would probably be easier to compile a list of people who don't claim to have Cherokee blood.
