why were there motor vehicles zooming about all the time and the hero still galloped around on a horse???? I remember an old family story about a relative the first time he got in a car. didn't know what the brake pedal was.
whoa !!! whoa !!! he bellowed from being on a horse before that. maybe Mr rogers was afraid he would embarrass himself like that.
and the inane stuff about 'shooting the gun out of the bad guy's hand'. great way to stop a bullet there yourself mister good-two-shoes guy, the cardinal rule of gun play is to aim for the large part of the body, the chest area, you simply cant hit a small target like the precise spot of the opponent's gun to oh so cleverly knock it out of his hand. this was one of numerous examples of Hollywood goofiness and stereotyping and clichés engulfing this series.
this had to be the most simplistic goofy far fetched and implausible series on TV the entire time it aired.
being on cable reruns, I only got to see it if my privileged friend deigned to have me over on Saturday. I was so starved for entertainment I would take it in with great puzzlement at why the cars and horses juxtapositioned??? we still have horses but they are just for show nowadays unless you're a Mennonite.
ye gads I hope we don't start seeing ads for DVD collections and that wretched themes song. clop clop clop-pity clop. AAAAGGHHHHH !!!! I notice the roy rogers museum closed a ways back for lack of visitors. not surprising. totally irrelevant and totally moot today.
