Memory is a very strange thing….
I’m not now nor have I ever been much of a television watcher. When I was very young and we first had a TV, I watched some of the Disney offerings (Mickey Mouse Club, Zorro….) and Saturday cartoons (what child didn’t?) - but by the time I was a pre-teen, I simply didn’t have the interest. I read instead (still do….)
I did watch the original Star Trek (in B&W - we were the last family in Vegas to own a color TV!) in the mid 60s. And the rest of my family WERE TV junkies. But I really didn’t pay much attention to what they watched.
Just now, a whole TV-show intro swam through my fall-allergy-wrong-meds soggy brain: “Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man; a knight without armor in a savage land. His fast gun for hire, he’s the calling win. A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin….” complete with music and the singer (whose name I never would have known I’m reasonably sure).
A bit of research on the ‘net convinces me that it must have been my dad who watched this show. Richard Boone, ex-army, Civil War vet, professional gunfighter…. yup, had to be Daddy…. who was a man out of his own time, which would have been (had he had the option) the West of the 1800s….
