Cool video! Thanks! I’m sure most people have had one or a few, ‘Don’t Miss’ weekly TV show or shows. One of mine was ‘The Rifleman’. Kevin (Real first name), Connors was quite a guy and professional athlete. Brooklyn and LA Dodger’s hall of Fame Centerfielder Duke Snider even named his son after Kevin! (Check out wikipiedia’s entry on him.) More than a few future stars made it onto ‘The Rifleman’ episodes. The one with already a star and real life gun aficionado Sammy Davis Jr. was particularly good one and the director let Sammy display his remarkable revolver twirling skill in one bit. Damn those old B/W were some fun TV. Hell, nobody knew much different at the time. I believe ‘Bonanza’ was the only western filmed in color during ‘The Rifleman’ era, ‘late fifties-early sixties, but I could be wrong on that.
