Roy & Dale ... I am shocked .... SHOCKED I tell you !!

bigmtnman · Jul 12, 2021

Roy and Dale have chased down the two bad guys. Roy is duking it out with one up in the rocks next to a high drop off (we KNOW what's gonna happen here). Dale (with Bullet at her side) is down in the rocks below trading whining ricochet shots with the other bad guy. Bullet takes things into his own hands...err... paws, and charges the bad guy. We pretty much know what's gonna happen here also (or do we?) ..... Do we see Bullet jump into the bad guy knocking him over and the gun out of his hand ? ... Nope. Do we see Bullet hanging by his teeth on the bad guy's gun arm ?... Nope. Do we see Bullet pull up short in front of the bad guy and begin to chastise him with what must be some really serious doggy cussing ? .... Yes we do. ----- BULLET ! -- What are you thinking

!? The bad guy is just gonna shoot your doggy butt !! The bad guy takes a half step out from his cover to sight down on Bullet and give him .... well... a bullet. Cut to Dale sighting down her six-shooter and touching one off. Do we see the gun fly out of the bad guy's hand ? ... Nope. Do we see the bad guy grab his shoulder and drop his gun ? ... Nope. Do we see the bad guy clutch the center of his chest, throw his head back with a grimace and drop like a rock ? ...YES WE DO ! ... Did I just see Dale aim center mass and deliver a "kill shot" ...YES I DID ! ..... There were no "patched up" bad guys being hauled back to town at the end of the show. Roy and Dale had killed them both !
Before this, if anyone had asked me if Dale had EVER shot and killed a bad guy, my quick answer would have been no...no way...not on '50's TV. You could beat the snot out of Tonto, and the Lone Ranger would NOT shoot you. But evidently, if you threaten Dale's dog, she will KILL you !!

Finally.... If you do not know who Roy, Dale, and Bullet are.....You my friend, are a WHIPPERSNAPPER

Well, thank goodness that's what it was! I thought you were gonna say they were caught holding hands or, heaven forbid, even kissin' and huggin'!

Lucas McCain and Matt Dillon knew what to do with the bad guys The Lone Ranger and Tonto let live.

I have a framed picture of Roy and Trigger hanging in the room my grandkids have named the bunkhouse. It is inscribed, "To Chipper -
Always be good for Roy Rogers and Trigger." I got it when I was five years old...67 years ago. He was quite a guy.

71 years ago my Dad said he was going to buy me a cap gun. I had a hard time making up my mine to get a Roy Rogers or a Gene Autry gun. Don't remember what what I got but no one had a problem with a 5 year old with a toy gun. I even had a real gun I found in the field behind the house. It was missing the cylinder but Pop put some oil on it and got the hammer to pul back. The thing was heavy but I drug that thing everywhere shooting the chickens and anything else I could point it at. After I got my real cap gun dad told me to only point it at the Indians coming up the road.

Lucky little boy to get THAT .... and a lucky senior to still have it !

A while back now, Buddies of mine stationed at George AFB would see Roy all the time in Victorville and nearby Apple Valley.
But Not on Trigger!
MOCY! Roy was a lifetime Motorcycle Rider and most likely spent more time on them than he did on Horses.

Part of the Canon Law for juvenile heroes back then was they did not kill. The Lone Ranger carried silver bullets to remind of the high cost of human life. The Green Hornet had his gas gun, then his stinger in the TV series. Captain Video had a device that could knock a weapon out of an enemy's hand..
It was a little different in the serials, especially in the war time ones. There is a scene in "Captain America" (Republic, 1944) where two heavies are tailing the heroine. One of them says "That's the dame, let's grab her!" She gasps-then she pulls out a revolver and shoots them both. It was a screen convention then that the assailant and the victim were never shown in the same scene. In "The Masked Marvel" (Republic, 1943) the hero and the arch-villain Sakima are in the final shoot out, Sakima hears the Marvel's revolver go click!, he stands up and gloatingly says "You are out of bullets!" and BANG! -"Didn't it ever occur to your Oriental mind that I might reload?"

My family and I stopped at the museum in Victorville about 6 weeks before Roy passed away. We were fortunate enough to meet Dale and converse with her for a while. I don't think I missed a single episode of their show when I was a kid.

I grew up .......

Watching Saturday morning B westerns, I’ve still got the daisy B.B. gun, my gun was the gene autry 6 shooter, my first cowboy boots were Lone Ranger boots when I was four years old, I still have them almost 70 years later, I have a Lone Ranger autographed picture by Clayton Moore, but my fondest memory? Watching rustlers rhapsody and seeing Rex O’Herlihan practice shooting the wooden guns out of wooden hands set up on the range.
And it finally explained why the nefarious bad guys always ran away when they were chased by one guy in a white cowboy hat, if you loved your B westerns this one movie is a must, on a scale of 1-4 I gave it a 4.

Dale Evans......hubba, hubba!

We'll have none of that on shows targeted at young boys. No sireee, girls are yucky.

Buttermilk, Dale's horse, bit me in the Houston Coliseum back around 1958. This was the pre- lawsuit era.

The times have changed.

I didn't mess around with a six shooter, my trusty 1911 official US Army .45 held a full roll of caps! My long deceased brother in law, gave this to me around 1949.

Have a blessed day

Still watching them on the tube western channels!

You have to admit that the "King of the Cowboys" did have some very classie looking out fits, that were to die for.

I have no idea what one of those custom beaded, outfits cost but it had to
take a week or so to make, I am guessing.

The "White Hat" was quite the thing but there was on guy that I also liked and he wore a black hat and his name was Dale Robertsons in the
"Tales of Wells Fargo".

Ah yes, the good old days of black & white TV.

Roy & Dale ... I am shocked .... SHOCKED I tell you !!
