We seem to be "branching" out.

Some of these stretch the limits of "western". Granted, "Fury" was about a horse, but not really a "cowboy" Western.

Tinster, keel boats just do not fit in with "Western".

Wasn't that set on the Mississippi?

.... but not really a "cowboy" Western.

I suppose it depends on the period. Terms of reference shift:

"The Last of the Mohicans" was set in the "west" at that time....

 

[RonMacPherson]

"Last of the Mohicans"???

Was there some kind of geological shift that I wasn't aware of?

Did the Adirondacks and the Appalachians get moved west of the Mississippi?

:lol:

Ya didn't get th' memo, Ron?!?!

Well I guess that leaves out The Roy Rogers Show, after all, Pat Brady chasing bad guys in a jeep named Nellybelle is a push for an oater.

Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

I suppose it depends on how you define western...

Fury (TV series)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fury (a/k/a Brave Stallion in early syndication runs) is an American Western television series that aired on NBC from 1955 to 1960, starring Peter Graves as Jim Newton (who operates the Broken Wheel Ranch in California), Bobby Diamond as Jim's adopted son, Joey Clark Newton, and the late William Fawcett as ranch hand Pete Wilkey. The series continued in reruns on NBC until 1966 and was syndicated throughout the 1960s and 1970s by ITC Entertainment who also produced the series. It was the first American series produced by the British-based company.

The frequent introduction to the show depicted the beloved stallion running inside the corral and approaching the camera as the announcer reads: "FURY!..The story of a horse..and a boy who loves him."

The "Happy Trails" song reminds me of the movie "The Three Amigos" more than anything. Guess I'm too young. G'nite Ned.

Okay, my memory of watching the Fury show was where the settings were not exactly "oater" types...

If we're gonna stretch it how about the old Disney kid shows where the boys are camping out.. Remember the "snark" hunts. They camped in one of the campgrounds that our boyscout troop(Troop 2, Riverside California, who had Lee Duncan as one of our sponsors-Lee Duncan was Rin Tin Tin's trainer, we were the honor guard at his funeral) Oh and did anyone include Rin TIn TIn? in Arizona where Zane Grey had his cabin...

Out West, could be anywhere west of the Missisippi, Ironically. But agreed the Roy Rogers show in it's later years with Nellybelle is stretching the time frame, but really why is a time frame instilled. I was just going on geography.

What was the gal's name that flew the airplane, daughter of Sky King, that would be considered Western. But it was recently modern.


Actually, there is a little of the western genre in my bloodline. My grandfather was an engineer for southern Pacific, worked out of Colton and knew Wyatt Earp. Found out my fathers great uncle(so you figure out the relationship) was Gabby Hayes..... I spent a few hours bending elbows with L. Sly, otherwise known as R. Rogers... up in the Victorville bowling alley bar... He was a nice guy...

Geesh...and no-one even mentioned Hoot Gibson and Lash LaRue!!!! :eeek:

You and I and the rest of the adolescents/pre-adolescents with a growing awareness of wild oats.
