Me too. And I loved the shows, knew all the words to the songs and spent a lot of time doing battle with imaginary redcoats. Well ok the neighbor kids weren’t imaginary, only their redcoats were.
I miss old tv. When I go back and see some of these programs, I am astonished by the scripts since they use vocabulary the general population today would not understand. It’s amazing. No, they weren’t realistic all the time, but they were much better written. Route 66 in particular is a revelation.
