Too bad it's gone

If it had lasted another season, we'd have a lot better chance to see it in reruns. As it is, I doubt we'll ever see it, again.

Of course, my memories of this show are a little fuzzy, since I was over twenty years younger, but I do know my whole nuclear family enjoyed it. The theme song was a take-off from the song for Bat Masterson.

I only recall two specific scenes, from the show's short run.

1) Elvira trying to sweep the floor clean, until Sam informs her it's a dirt floor.

2) Sam trying to get someone to babysit, and finally settling on the inept local 'outlaws'. When they inform him that they can't make an honest dollar, he lets them 'rob' him of enough money to pay for babysitting - while they have him at gunpoint, they put the rest of the money back in his pocket.

A real shame that we'll probably never see this on DVD.
