Flying-By Time
Mrs DT and I have been watching old 1950s B&W TV westerns lately; she likes them, I recall watching them as a yung’un. (Mrs DT is foreign born and did not have the pleasure – or age for that matter – to have watched the original releases).
It comes to me that I’m near-on as far distant in time from originally watching those oat-burners as they were from the times they depicted.
That’s Robert Fuller, later known for his role as a doctor on the late 60’s series “Emergency”.
And John Smith, both in the early 60’s western series “Laramie”.

Tonight at supper time we watched an episode of “Stories of the Century”, about a railroad detective in the 1800’s. In later years he was Jock Ewing on the TV series Dallas in the 80’s. Real name Jim Davis. Grainy black n white DVD’s.
Other than Jeopardy and Wheel, we only watch old stuff on our 4 DVD players, mostly westerns, and only during suppertime. Jeopardy and Wheel are getting old with all their “new” stuff going on. Negro’s are supposed to be about 13% of the population but on Wheel they are least 50% or more. Who needs the aggravation?
