Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Yancey Derringer, Have Gun Will Travel, and Maverick all taught lessons about life. Can't leave out Gunsmoke. Some values they passed down to me were not very useful at all. For instance, I really believed you could smash a bad guy's head with a whiskey bottle and the bottle would shatter instantly. And then I turned 30.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, the westerns were good about self-reliance, personal honor, courage, and helpfulness. Those are pretty good qualities to pass along to young viewers.Max Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706524941272103444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823625636675642409.post-25969292297615784652008-01-27T14:32:00.000-08:002008-01-27T14:32:00.000-08:00"Saturday morning.

You get the idea. I know I'm being picky, to take it in the spirit it is offered and do with the input what you will!
