They knew how to do TV in those days. The Rifleman:
"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here
[the brain]" -1984 (film) |

I am a huge Rifleman fan!!
You know Chuck Connors has a Boston connection? He played for the Celtics.
Happy memories!!
Sure used to look forward to the TV shows then. Too bad the Western with its "code of the Old West," as ONLY exemplified in old movies and TV shows, can no longer be found in production.
Although The Rifleman is no longer among us, I believe that "Rifleboy," all grown up now, is still here.
There's something about a lever-action rifle, a rhythm that cannot be duplicated with today's automatics.
Still, when it comes to putting down "bad guys," today's automatics can take out more of 'em faster.
And that is what it all comes down to.
Maggie, Oh yeah, that's right! I also remember he got in some trouble when the first episode of Spencer for Hire had him saying something like, "Southie at night Spencer? Are you crazy?"
Oh, big controversy!
Yeah, Leslie, that's true about the guns, but the values on these old shows...nothing has it like them anymore for sure.
Thanks...thought I'd watch a just few minutes...
25 minutes later...oh well...you can't just watch a few!
