    September 2016 Remembering the Wild, Wild Westerns Remembering the Wild, Wild Westerns – see page 2. Webfooters Post Card Club PO Box 17240 Portland OR 97217-0240 www.thewebfooters.com Remembering the Wild, Wild Westerns Before Batman, before Star Trek and space travel to the moon, Westerns ruled prime time television. Warner Brothers stable of Western stars included (l to r) Will Hutchins – Sugarfoot, Peter Brown – Deputy Johnny McKay in Lawman, Jack Kelly – Bart Maverick, Ty Hardin – Bronco, James Garner – Bret Maverick, Wade Preston – Colt .45, and John Russell – Marshal Dan Troupe in Lawman, circa 1958. Westerns became popular in the early years of television, in the era before television signals were broadcast in color. During the years from 1959 to 1961, thirty-two different Westerns aired in prime time. The television stars that we saw every night were larger than life. In addition to the many western movie stars, many of our heroes and role models were the western television actors like John Russell and Peter Brown of Lawman, Clint Walker on Cheyenne, James Garner on Maverick, James Drury as the Virginian, Chuck Connors as the Rifleman and Steve McQueen of Wanted: Dead or Alive, and the list goes on. Western movies that became popular in the 1940s recalled life in the West in the latter half of the 19th century. They added generous doses of humor and musical fun. As western dramas on radio and television developed, some of them incorporated a combination of cowboy and hillbilly shtick in many western movies and later in TV shows like Gunsmoke.

  • 1985 Downtown Newhall Western Walk of Fame
    WELCOME to the 5th Annual westernWalk of fame MICHAEL D. ANTONOVICH 5TH DISTRICT supervisor - LOS ANGELES COUNTY 1985 WALK OF FAME HONORARY CHAIRMAN - - NEWHALL'S WESTERN WALK OF FAME HOW IT ALL BEGAN----- The original idea for a Western Walk of Fame came as a suggestion from Milt Diamond, pioneer, western clothing retailer who was President of the Newhall Merchant's Association in 1976. He continued his pursuit to the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce. In 1981, Mr. Diamond realized his dream come true when the first "Western Walk of Fame" honored Wm. s. Hart, Tom Mix and Gene Autry as the first recipients of the coveted award. The entire program was concieved as a tribute to the western artists who contributed to the Santa Clarita Valley's and nation ' s heritage since 1876 when the town of Newhall was founded. Now , in its fifth year, it has given bronze immor­ tality to well known western greats Gene Autry, Wm. Hart, Torn Mix, Tex Ritter, Rex Allen, Eddie Dean, Pat Buttram, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Andy Jauregui, Tex Williams, Claude Akins, John Wayne, Clayton Moore, Robert Conrad, Dennis Weaver and Clint Walker. And, of course, on August 24, 1985 stars Iron Eyes Cody, Monte Hale and Chuck Connors will be added to prestigious path of bronze and terrazzo tile "saddle type" plaques that can be viewed on San Fernando Road (5th Street to 9th Street) in downtown Newhall.

  • TIME Magazine Essay on Television Westerns
    35 of the bangtail brigade, and 30 of them are riding the dollar-green range of prime night time (from 7:3o to IO p.m.). Independent stations too have taken to the field with every wring-tailed old oat snorter they could rustle out of Holly- wood’s back pasture. This season, while other shows, from quizzes to comedies. were dropping right and left like well- rehearsed Indians, not a single western left the air. Indeed, 14 new ones were launched, and the networks are planning more for next year. Sighs a well-known writer of western scripts: “I don’t get it. Why do people want to spend so much time staring at the wrong end of a horse?” They have more than that to look at, including some of the most exciting new faces-and figures-that U.S. show busi- ness has produced in many a year. James Arness (Gunsmoke), Ward Bond (Wagon Train), Richard Boone (Have Gun), Hugh O’Brian (Wyatt Earp), James Gar- ner (Maverick). Chuck Connors (Rifle- man), Dale Robertson (Wells Fargo), Clint Walker (Cheyene)-one day these he-manly specimens were just so many sport coats on Hollywood’s infinite rack. The next, they were TV’s own beef trust. WESTERNS any man with enough strength to pull Their teeth were glittering, their biceps a hair trigger and enough chin to hold bulging, their pistols blazing right there The Six-Gun Galahad a hat string can apparently remove as in the living room; it was more fun, (See Cover) much as a million dollars a year.
