I hope you can find an ep or two to try sometime -- it's a really well-made show, and they enjoy turning western movie tropes on their heads, which adds to the fun :-)<br /><br />Always a pleasure when you stop by!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-7702775892835047252019-03-30T16:53:34.880-04:002019-03-30T16:53:34.880-04:00Very interesting article - in special the bit abou...Very interesting article - in special the bit about naming your cat after the character!

I never can decide if I like "Gun-Shy" or "A Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" better, but both are my favourite episodes. What I love about "A Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" is that every single major character on the show puts in an appearance, all to help Bret in what is the ultimate con ever Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-3283119175281673422019-03-24T18:43:11.439-04:002019-03-24T18:43:11.439-04:00Skye, the new Ocean movies are a lot of fun, thoug...Skye, the new Ocean movies are a lot of fun, though I haven't managed to see Ocean 8 yet.

I loved him as the original Paladin in the radio version of <i>Have Gun, Will Travel</i>. I'm always happy when he pops up in a show I'm watching :-) Which is such a treat about watching lots of classic shows -- like you said, I almost always recognize somebody.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed my blog :-) Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-32003785501015946692019-03-24T18:39:48.728-04:002019-03-24T18:39:48.728-04:00Thanks, Caftan Woman!

He did so many great things on radio and I loved almost everything he did.<br /><br />Garner was great as Maverick!
