This morning I'm watching "The Rifleman" series on AMC. This show was before my time (I'm 44), but I remember watching the show as a teenager when I lived in Texas. Is it possible to be nostalgic about a time (late '50's early '60's) when you weren't even alive. If so, I believe I'm feeling it watching this show.

This show is great. Lots of really good guest stars and lots of shooting and fantastic holsters on the bad guys. Lucas McCain can just give up ranching and open a gun/tack shop selling all the guns and gear from all the guys he kills. When one or a group of guys ride into town wearing vests and gunbelts and there's that sinister music in the first five minutes, it's a pretty good guess they will be perforated with 44-40 bullets twenty minutes later. And McCain won't even buy his kid a rifle! Not even a pellet gun! Sheesh!
Here's my favorite scene from my favorite episode...

Yep, I loved Chuck Connors in 'The Rifleman'. As a kid, I thought his son, 'Mark', had to be the luckiest boy alive!
Also, SWORE, one day I'd own a '92 Winchester! (I do)

I miss Adam West's "Batman". Vincent Price as the Eggman, Frank Gorsham, Ceaser Romero, and Julie Newmar and Julie Newmar (I was only 10-12)!

I really like Lawman on Encore Western, even if my wife makes fun of me. I also tape Highway Patrol, although I've never seen anything but Colt revolvers on that show.

"Petticoat Junction" was one of the first T.V. shows where I realized that girls were for lookin' at!!

Netflix has a lot of the old T.V. shows out, including "The Untouchables".

We didn't have TV in the '30's & '40's when I was growing up. But the radio shows were what we listened to. Lone Ranger, Inner Sanctum, Jack Armstrong, All American Boy,Burns & Allen, Jack Benny Show, & others I can't bring to mind. My folks got a TV in 1948. TV was on one hour at night then. We watched the Paul Whiteman Show then.
