I loved the Rifleman, and thought Chuck Conners was the most manly name you could have.
The Rifleman? Possibly the most hilariously violent tv westerns in the history of tv westerns. What do you expect when Sam Peckinpah directed a few episodes?
I also watch it on Saturday mornings, with a little scratch pad to keep track of how many people Chuck offs during the course of an episode.
Why do I think Dowd is lying through her teeth about watching?
Bwahahaha - must not have the same number of fingers and toes as most do.
Obama: “If I’ve lost Maureen Dowd, I’ve lost the country.”
I watch it fairly often. It has a really good theme song and does teach some good lessons.
Unfortunately, it along with “Daniel Boone” were among the most PC shows back in the day when it wasn’t as common as now. Sometimes it gets pretty bad.
Thanks, interesting
Sam Peckinpah: had to look up: from wiki:
Peckinpah’s films generally deal with the conflict between values and ideals, and the corruption of violence in human society. He was given the nickname “Bloody Sam” owing to the violence in his films. His characters are often loners or losers who desire to be honorable, but are forced to compromise in order to survive in a world of nihilism and brutality.
Maureen Dowd is a liar. Too may Biblical references. They’d make her shrivel up.
Moment of his greatness???!!!
Maureen Dowd must be overdoing the drugs again if she believes that.
It has been 6 years(so far) of trying to destroy the greatest country on earth. It has been a lifetime of lies and deceit.
The only moment of greatness Obama ever had was in his head as he drove around in the choom wagon.
Is there anyone on this terrestrial ball who gives two hoots in Hell what Maureen Dowd has to say about anything?
His great epic is The Wild Bunch. I’m not his biggest fan preferring the John Wayne/James Stewart genre of western but he’s considered one of the greats.
A lame duck sending sitting ducks to lily pads is not a pretty sight.
Thank you
About time.
Why would a ultra liberal kook like a show that teaches morality, ethics, honor, loyalty, and integrity to young people? It is foursquare against very thing they believe.
Can you imagine what would have happened if Lucas with Mark in tow had stumbled upon “Caitlyn” on the Main Street of Northfork?
Ahhhh......
Well, Mark would have hid under the chuck wagon while Lucas brought up his Winchester and blasted away without a by-your-leave. That’s how it usually happens on Main St. How Mark doesn’t end up with the worst case of post-traumatic-stress-disorder is beyond me!
Someone told Dowd about The Rifleman. I watched it as a kid while she was watching Captain Kangeroo and whimpering about it’s lack of diversity.
