He was shot.

Did you ever see the Western parody, “The Villain”, with Kirk Douglas as The Villain, “Cactus Jack Slade”, Arnold Schwartzenegger as “Handsome Stranger”, and Ann Margaret as “Charming Jones”. Some pretty funny stuff in there (likening it to a live-action “Roadrunner vs Wile E. Coyote” movie), with supporting actors Jack Elam, Paul Lynde, Ruth Buzzi, Foster Brooks, and Mel Tillis.

I have to say a few words about the Statler Brothers. They are among the best of performers.

He was shot.

It wasn't me, there weren't no witnesses, it was an accident.

That was soooo great! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

I had such crushes on......a very young Clint Eastwood, Sugarfoot, trampas, and Rory Calhoun.

[steelyourfaith]

That was fun.

[uncbob]

Well the old ones were good but you have to admit the modern day westerns have true to life costuming

Nice way to start Monday Morning. Thanks for posting.

My Netflix queue is loaded with as many old Westerns and other movies that would play on Saturday afternoon when I was a kid as could find. Favorite old TV shows Too. And my 8-year old son actually loves them. Westerns, War Movies, fantasy adventure like the Sinbad movies, and Jerry Lewis and Abbott & Costello. My favorites then and still are.

His favorite TV shows to watch are Emergency, Adam 12, and my F-Troop & Gilligan's Island DVD sets. Yesterday he watched (twice by his request)Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin in Artist and Models... So I guess all kids aren’t wasting their lives on today's TV smut and gory video games.

"I LOVED that flick."

I loved it too, but I haven't been able to watch Peter Fonda's sister in a long time. War is hell, ain't it?

[MisterArtery]

Wonderful! My forum name is what Pat Butram called Gene, Mr. Artery. Also, Rocky Lane was the TV voice of Mr. Ed.

“Who shot Liberty Valence ?”

Tom Donovan

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

LOL, yes! Anyone hasn’t, it’s probably online somewhere. Recommended if you like them with pratfalls and veteran actors obviously having huge fun. IMO better than Roadrunner cartoons, and that’s saying a lot!

“I have to say a few words about the Statler Brothers. They are among the best of performers.”

Yep, I liked them way more than the Oakridge Boys who's signature song was the horrible Elvira. I even have a Statler Brothers station set up on Pandora so I can listen to them as many hours as I wish.

[bricklayer]

Although, some say it was Tom Doniphon.

Nice link! Thanks!

Anyone remember James Stewart as "The Six Shooter "?

"The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun dyed brown. The gun in his holster is gray steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl. People call them both The Six Shooter."

What ever happened to Randolph Scott riding the trail alone.
