I was never a huge western fan but watched a few as I noted. Many westerns had great theme songs tho no?? Paladin, Bonanza to name a couple. Of course Gunsmoke is immediately recognizable. Anyone remember "Johnny Yuma was a rebel" theme song? I think the show was "The Rebel." TIS

Yep, that's the theme song. Dang, so ancient. Ha ha. Johnny Cash singing right? Btw, at end of song the voice saying "This has been a Mark Godsen Bill Toddman production" certainly rings a lot of bells. Can't name all the specific shows, but it was very common hearing those names at the end of some shows. Just like (and it just came to my head), remember after "The Fugitive", a voice would always say, "This has been a Quinn Martin Production." Don't know why I remember it, but I do. Ha ha Commonplace back in the olden days. TIS

I was watching an episode of The Rifleman (remember it?) when I recalled another Chuck Conners' series: Branded. Do any of you recall it? It lasted just two seasons though. I used to watch reruns of The Rifleman when i was a kid. Good show. I always wanted to get a rifle just like the one Lucas McCain had. I still do. I love "The Rifleman," too, Benny. When I started this thread that's the show I had in mind. Unfortunately, there isn't a high quality dvd set available just yet. But there's a mini-marathon every Saturday morning on AMC. I set the alarm to watch it sometimes. Mrs. Pizzaboy thinks I'm crazy. But I'm not. My Mother had me tested.

One of them was about a group of people on a stagecoach who were stranded at Chuck Connors' home during a blizzard. One of the characters was portrayed by none other than Mike the Cop (from 'Abbott & Costello').

He died fairly young from what I remember. He had that stone face that was perfect on the old A&C Show.

I don't remember too much of him (the actor) but you're right. He was PERFECT as the cop on the show.
Back to "The Rifleman". The show became too goody-goody for me after a year or so. All that preaching to the son wore thin. I wanted to see Chuck Connors kick some ass. LOL You gotta admit, though. For an Irishman from Brooklyn he could ride the f*** out of a horse .

Well, all kidding aside. Brooklyn has always been home to a few stables. I knew the guy who operated the stables behind Kings Plaza (can't remember its name). And I rode a few times from the one off the Belt (along the swamplands).

Because when I worked out of Marine Park, if I had the time I'd take the long way around. And I'd pass the stables by the Belt all the time.

Why did people in Westerns trust Bruce Dern? He's just bad news. Really.... as soon as he opened his mouth and started talkin.....I would think lets get far away from this fucker.
