I was asked why I purchased a DVD movie, I told the person it was because of the actor moreso than the title. Then I kind of got sad because I knew he was dead.


Poem Artwork

Others in relation to lifes factors,
we can't leave out our favorite actors.
Quite a few of mine are dead and gone,
leaving me here to deal with life alone.
The many roles they played,
helped a young man
who's father had strayed.

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverhills?

the Long Ranger stated something similar to this, "playing his role helped make a better person out of him."

I love cowboy movies and always related to the good guys.

I hated the bad guys who would hide behind a rock to shoot the good guys in the back.

Back when quite a few Indians and cowboys were enemies, we had the Long Ranger and Tanto, good friends fighting for fairness for all.

Thanks Clayton and Jay!

*******************

Bonanza

staring Lorne Green as Ben Cartwright, Dan Blocker as Hoss Cartwright, Michael Landon as Little Joe, and Pernell Roberts as Adam.

This was a western family who was strong and fair with everyone, regardless of race,
nationality, and other factors.

Thanks guys, you certainly helped shape my moral character as I grew into an adult.

****************

There are many others I could name,
their positive influence the same.

A thousand words in a picture flowing,
so much more in a movie showing.
What one views does dictate,
sooner or later its effects does relate.
Upon the brain a positive light,
leaving one weak or strong sight.

A great tribute and I can think of John Wayne especially Bob Hope who taught us to laugh while showing love to thousands of troops throughout the years. Or Jimmy Stewart and those undforgettable cowboys which in their day was not a bad thing. But then too I also salute Andy Griffith and a host of others. Thanks for bringing this subject up.

I love the western too. I think they're cool. Everyone owns a horse as a means of transport and a friend. I've watched a lot of this when I was living with my aunt at one time. My uncle, who had just passed away before this last Christmas, often called these shows "The Very Important Shows", and no matter what we were doing at the time, whenever these shows came on, he would yell out to all of us, "Important show is on! Everybody, come and watch it."...and very often it would be "Bonanza" on the TV; and we would all stop what we were doing and sat in front of the TV and watch the show with him until the show was finished then we could continue to play again.

Isn't it odd that people can actually get addicted to these shows? I, myself, quite enjoyed them too at the time, and I was glad that my uncle gave me and everyone the opportunity to watch these shows.

Happy New Year Grady! I love this write very much! It reminds me so much of a wonderful time.

Wonderful memories of a bygone era, Grady. I, too, loved the old Western Serials, and their epic heroes. And besides The Lone Ranger and Tonto and the Bonanza Cartwright Family, I loved Rawhide, Gunsmoke, and good old Rin Tin Tin. Bring back the Good Old Days!

This is great, Grady. I am glad that you were able to find role models from whom you learned values, even if they had to be found on a television. Good Job!
Take care,
Sherry

I thought that show with Lorne Green was called Bonanza and the Big Valley had Barbara Stanwyk in it, but I could be wrong too...but the thought of the poem is a good idea, enjoyed remembering of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, kemosabe, Peace, Ed & Rufuz
