I remember watching the old Cowboy shows and the bad guys always had a Chaw of Tobacco or chewed on an old cigar...I guess it was a status symbol for the bads guys (along with the black hat)...But, I wanted to be the outlaw one time, my Grandfather always had cigars around, I "snitched" one (notice I said ONE) I was sick for a week.....That was my last chance at Cigars.....Shew, those are nasty...That's why the bad guys always chew on the cigars....They thought it Made them look mean...to me, they looked stupid from that point on....Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, even Tom Mix didn't chew on a cigar....

You are 100% right right. Dale Robertson was the host for sometime...One time we were watching the movie and at the end they always pushed a 20-mule team wagon going into the sunset....My Grandfather was upfrom Ardmore and watching the show with us. I made the simple satement "20-Mules pulling that wagon." My gosh he exclaimed (he didn't have a TV only radio) how did you count those so fast. My answer? " Pepa I simply counted all their legs and divided by four and came up with the answer.....Shouldn't have done that...He told everyone he knew how quick I was with math......Lots of explaining to do in later years....But he thought his grandson was a genius. Boy, was he fooled...Going to bed and count sheep.....give the answer tomorrow...

Correction: Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister... Comedian Eddie Murphy did a popular parody of Rogers for the TV show Saturday Night Live... There is no truth to the rumor that Mr. Rogers was once an Army sniper, a Marine or a Navy SEAL. (Similar untrue stories are told about John Denver and TV's Captain Kangaroo.) He did not serve in the military in any capacity!!

That's right! And it was a disaster.

Back in the "Day" actors thought nothing of live TV. It was a normal thing.
Yeah, there were goofs, just like a play, but they'd make the best of it with
improvisation or simply ignoring the back drop that was on fire. I doubt that
most of today's TV actors have what it takes.

Today's live theater is a different story.

Dark Shadows aired on ABC in the mid-to-late 60's, and although it was taped, the daily episodes were taped pretty much nonstop, and they rarely stopped to reshoot; if an actor blew a line, a prop malfunctioned, or a camera or crewman blundered into a scene, they just went on. Some funny stuff happened.
