I agree. If I’m home in the afternoon, sometimes I’ll check out Leave It to Beaver(all white) Bonanza (heterosexual men), or The Rifleman(open carry and excessive gunplay) on MeTV.These shows would be panned today for being politically incorrect. The other show from that era that I miss is Combat. I can see liberal heads explode as Kirby picks off Krauts with his BAR.
Nothing excessive about the Rifleman’s gunplay.
The Rifleman is STILL an excellent father/son show ... I’ve gleaned a couple of tips, even at my age of 68
Rifleman yesterday featured a new teacher that lectured Lucas on bringing loaded firearms to school.
Bonanza the only gay one was Hop Sing ask lil Joe
I always wondered who Lucas was blasting with those twelve shots on Main Street. Then the sly, small grin that follows...did he dispatch twelve to their maker? Or did the citizens of North Fork simply pay him for an exhibition?
The opening sequence has been controversial since the show came out:
“The 1892 Winchester in .44/.40 caliber used on the show only holds eleven bullets. The audio track was dubbed over the video track. They are not entirely in sync. You may hear 12 or 13 shots fired in the audio portion, and you may watch him pull the lever back on the rifle a different number of times.”
“Bonanza (heterosexual men)”
You must have missed the episode with Wayne Newton.
Combat is shown on H&I TV (Heroes & Icons). The problem is that it's on at 2 AM (eastern).
