| Oct. 1, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | TV Trivia 3 Doc, it's your floor... once again. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Bob - so he doesn't miss a meal or a trivia question - - just BP? |
| Oct. 1, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Doc seldom misses a trivia question... never misses a meal. In fact, McDonald's should be paying him royalties for the 'Happy Meal' phrase... the man is always happy when he's eating... or hitting HRs... or stepping on our punch lines. his other nickname is Krispy Kreme... connect the dots, Pete. He definitely didn't play outside much as a kid... he likes TV trivia like a fat kid likes cake. :-) |
| Oct. 1, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | You know,Pete, jealousy is a terrible thing to live with and if you know The Wood you know all of this talk is just because HE WISHED he had a finely tuned torso such as mine. The guy is a natural double for howdy doody whose only claim to fame is being able to whistle dixie out his port side... next question. Back in the late 50's..... A bad-dude texas ranger rounded up the bad guys. His trademark was the song that accompanied his show. " ----- ------ ------ made you do what you oatta and if you didn't you died.." I think those were the words... What was his name in the show and who played him???? docswear |
| Oct. 1, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Are you referring to 'The Tales of the Texas Rangers' show? |
| Oct. 1, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | I think it was Nolan Ryan. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | If so, Ranger Harry Lauter made you do what you oughta, if you didn't you died. Clay Morgan played him, meat! Nftty, BW |
| Oct. 1, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I was stumped so I thought I would check Google. There's a website http://www.fiftiesweb.com/western-4.htm that list most of the westerns of the 50's-60's. There must 40 or 50 of them. Check it out. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Woody.... that is not actually the show I was thinking of. I have not heard of the one you are talking about so perhaps you have knowledge that escapes me. The first two words of the song were "Texas John ------.... hopefully I was not delusional... and my memory is not jumping around on me. Bruce...thanks for the info... docswear |
| Oct. 1, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | So this probably means that I'm incorrect AND that I blew the chance to use this one in the future. This seems awfully harsh to me. :-) |
| Oct. 1, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I remember seeing Texas John --------- while at that website. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | How about Texas John Slaughter. But I thought that was a Disney series kind of like Davy Crockett. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | And I have no idea who played him. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Texas John Slaughter was absolutely correct. Played by none other than Tom Tryon of the famous Tryon family. Bruce in GARGAA.... you are up.... goodluck..... docswear (<. |
| Oct. 1, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Wait.... maybe that was Ken that answered John Slaughter.. I guess you are up... Sorry docswear |
| Oct. 1, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Okay, this was on Friday nights. I know this ‘cause I always watched it and was often late for the Monthly Pack meetings for Cub Scouts, lol. It was set in Louisiana, and the main character was always dressed like a gentleman, but loved STICKING IT to the bad guys with his“piece of a meteor”. It had a great opening song and a chorus would sing the background during the scenes, kind of like Wyatt Earp. Please name the character. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie, brave courageous and bold. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I'll guess Yancy Darringer. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Allen, you got it. You're up. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Ok, the setting was Canada and the star was a Royal Canadian Mounted Police. What was the character's name and the name of his dog? |
| Oct. 2, 2007 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Here's an easy one. What famous baseball anouncer coined the phrase "That's a blue darter"? |
| Oct. 2, 2007 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | I believe that was "Seargent Preston" and "King". |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | It's getting confusing. Allen, your question is still up. Bruce, Allen had the floor, and I think he answered your out of order question correctly. Allen's question still stands reference the blue darter. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Dizzy Dean? |
| Oct. 2, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I got confused also. sorry |
| Oct. 2, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Pee Wee Reese? |
| Oct. 2, 2007 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Ken, you are correct, you're up. Sorry Bruce. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Ok, this might be a hard one. The show wasn't on too long. It starred Keith Larson as as indian chief. Name the show. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Ken... A hard one????? I thought I knew my old westerns but between my buddy and I we could not come up with any ideas on this one. I actually hunted it down using my computer and I do vaguely remember the show. Only because of who played the guy that was supposed to hunt him down (Jim Davis)...If anybody gets this one right they should be applauded. Nice going!!! docswear |
| Oct. 2, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | THE ANSWER IS BRAVE EAGLE. THANKYOU. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Yeah, baby, Brave Eagle, Chief of the Cheyenne. Good job dmike, you're up. |
| Oct. 2, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | You guys are all tough. You're also to be congratulated for sharing so many posts with minmal arguing. Sure, Doc Swear has come up with minor stuff but he is very good at this game. doc, this is your last compliment from me in '07... so you might wish to print and frame it. I am impressed with you though... With all of you guys. (Really!) ;-) BW |
| Oct. 2, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | These guys are tough! I'm more of a 60's tv guy and these old westerns are killing me. I just have to get control so I can get back to Leave It To Beaver and Andy Griffith! Dmike you are still up. |

| Oct. 4, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | John Macintire played the part. |
| Oct. 4, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | I believe his name in the show was cris hale... He took over when Ward Bond passed away, I believe. But.. would not have gotten his real name so if correct, dmike13 should have the floor.. docswear |
| Oct. 4, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | Again Wagon Train. Who played Wishbone? |
| Oct. 4, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | Good job dmike & docswear. How come this post won't show up at the top of the list anymore? Too long? Maybe we need a #4. |
| Oct. 5, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | MY MISTAKE. IT WASN'T WAGON TRAIN BUT RAWHIDE THAT HAD WISHBONE. SORRY. |
| Oct. 5, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | If someone comes up with this it will be a miracle. |
| Oct. 8, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | How about a clue or a hint, or a new question. |
| Oct. 8, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Wishbone was the cook and I believe that his real name was Pat Binegar. BW |

| Oct. 10, 2007 GDR24 Men's 50 13 posts | I think it was "Goodnight Mrs. Calabash wherever you are" |
| Oct. 10, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | You got it GDR, you're up. |
| Oct. 10, 2007 GDR24 Men's 50 13 posts | Staying on that same theme What did Red Skelton say when he signed off from his TV shows? |

| Oct. 10, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | >>>>>>>> Might want to start a new thread <<<<<<<<< |
| Oct. 10, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Sorry PeteD..... I grew up with my dad watching that show and every night before I went to bed he put on his best Red Skelton face and said "good night and may God bless" Going to Leave it to Beaver... One of my favorite characters on the show was Eddie Haskel ... Many folks I know claim TheWood has tried to emulate the guy...not sure.. anyway... who played Eddie and after he left the show what new career did he embark on? docswear |
| Oct. 10, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | You got it! There will never be another Red, he also gave that little toodles wave while giggling with a wise crack as he signed off. Great show. |
| Oct. 10, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | ADAM ZOLOTIN. He became a cop. BW |
| Oct. 10, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | I thought his name was Ken Osmond, and yes, I think he became a cop. Also, no truth to the rumor he was John Holmes in many "recreational movies". lol |
| Oct. 10, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Woody... good job on the new occupation but Ken was correct on his real name. Sooooooo .. Ken, you are on... docswear |

| Oct. 10, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Carls Betz... he was a doctor. Shelley Faberes and Paul Peterson played the 2 kids... both were singers as well. |
| Oct. 10, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Wood, you're right. I thought he was a dentist, but the more I think about it, I think your right. I know he had an office in their house. Good job, you're up. |
| Oct. 10, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Just my luck, a Leave It To Beaver question is asked while I'm at work! Oh well, post you next question on TV Trivia 4. |
