The last actual time I encountered them on tv was on an independent channel back in 1986, which aired them in their late-night movie slots.

I recently signed up for a TV channel that shows westerns and western movies 24 hours a day. The best seven dollars and fifty cents a month I've ever spent. My wife and I laugh at the Kim Darby singers singing "Wyatt Earp" and are fascinated watching Ronald Reagan on Death Valley Days.

I think by now I pretty much have every western series that has been released on dvd! The prime western items I most want are ‘restored’ copies of Universal’s series of 1930s b-westerns with Tom Mix, Buck Jones and Ken Maynard. The prints that circulate are almost exclusively shabby 16mm tv-prints that date to the 1950s.

Although what I ‘most’ want, western-wise, are some of hundreds of silent westerns that are now considered ‘lost,’ with no prints in existence anywhere. Most of those silent films of Tom Mix, Hoot Gibson, Jack Hoxie, Wally Wales, Art Acord, Leo Maloney, and such.

I wish I could find the old Burns and Allen shows. Gracie Allen was a genius at comedy. No one ever was better at comedy then Gracie Allen.
