I remember an episode of The Big Valley in which Nick and Heath had a bet and the loser had to break in the new boots of the other. Nick lost. I still laugh recalling Heath slumped in a rocking chair on the porch with his hat pulled down over his eyes snoozing while Nick paced back and forth on the porch wearing Heath's new boots cursing all the way.

After all was said done Nick couldn't walk for a week due to blisters etc. and Heath strutted around in his new comfortable broken in boots with Cheshire cat grin on his face for the rest of the show.

I wish they made television shows as good as then. The libtards got rid of westerns and replaced them with junior has two daddies fare.

TV westerns were one damn show after another with of the same old sets,
same old cactus, the same old dull look. People wanted the colors of
NOW (circa 1968). Few people bought an expensive color set to have the
greyscales "enhanced" to various shades of sepia and beige.

Star Trek was largely an old school TV western dressed up with more
interesting visuals and bright primary colors. Even Spock started out
as that familiar TV Western cliche -- the half breed who doesn't quite
fit into either world.

That article is mostly wrong. While it's true that the networks were
trying reduce violence, they DID have looser standards for popular
shows. Hawaii 5-0 and Starsky & Hutch could still have shootouts and
pistol whippings, Bonanza, not so much.

Westerns were also dying in the theaters. They actually were dying out
in the early 60s until temporially revived by the spaghetti westerns.

And there's practically no censorship now. Where's the westerns? We
have zombie splatterfests, serial killer splatterfests, biker
splatterfests, yet hardly a single western.

The audience has changed. Live action cartoons sell, not westerns.

We live in an entertainment world which owes more to Herschell Gordon
Lewis, George Romero and Roger Corman than it owes to John Ford.

More violence than ever, now. Westerns are still moribund.

As far as demographics go, advertisers prefer young people for a
perfectly sensible reason. Older people make their buying decisions
based largely on expirence. They're harder to bull****. Kids don't
know better, yet.

1800s Dodge City newspapers ...An old saying goes, 'He died with his boots on!' Some of them, their boots were placed under their heads (in the coffin) so as to serve as pillows.

Made the swap out easier after the crowd had gone home and there were
still only a few shovelfulls of dirt on the coffin.

I have been to Omaha before. In 1956, only passing (Oui,Oui, that old Brit TV show comedy, pizzin thru) through, going to Montana.
