Just found out, $99 for a hard cover, $79 for a soft cover.OUCH, that's expensive.

Hmmm, doesn't sound familiar, but I just watched the video Earl posted, and that scene does look familiar, so I may have watched it, but not necessarily regularly every week.Chuck Conners, of Rifleman fame...soldier in the Civil War, falsely accused of abandoning his post and fellow soldiers during a battle.
There were so many in the late 50s and early 60s. Gunsmoke, The Rifle Man, The Big Valley, Bonanza, The Virginian, Paladin (Have Gun, Will Travel), The Real McCoys, Daniel Boone, Davey Crocket, Wagon Train, Rawhide, Branded, The Wild, Wild West...it goes on and on!

12. I've counted.
I know most people classify Daniel Boone as a western, and it does mostly fit the genre, but I have a problem with it. I classify it more along the adventure genre like Tarzan.

I don't remember those particular characters, but I remember the cards. They were a parody of the popular Cabbage Patch Kids dolls of the time.No, can't say as I remember any of those.
I won't disagree with Mr. Connors, but here is the Wikipedia excerpt:from the interwebs
Chuck explained that, "What you see and hear on the screen are eleven shots; what the weapon actually holds are eight shot. That was a camera trick so that the shooting would match the music—called dramatic license."
This was taken from Chuck Connors..... "The Man Behind the Rifle" by David Fury, Artist's Press and from 1991 interview with Roy Firestone.
Being an adult (more or less) myself and a male, I had little interest in the Cabbage Patch kids myself. But I remember my girlfriend at the time and some guys going gaga over Beanie Babies in the 90s.Cabbage Patch and Garbage Patch dolls/cards came out after I was an adult. Since I only had a son, neither was of any importance to him.
