Jim Bowie Opening Theme Song

[laterdudesaint]

i wish he'd just knock on the damn door..

[phillyflash43]

The first emo....

[ElectricZombie]

When does he start singing "Let's Dance"?

[RoflManJar]

I don't know who Jim Bowie was but he must have been big and long and sharp

[Lockbar]

He walks in knife in hand, looking for the neighbor lady.

[knifecollector11524]

doesnt even look like Jim Bowie

[OldBlueEyes7]

Great Show and great Theme Song.

[demeandr121]

It's bohee, not bowee

[63gstone]

A remake today: Jim Bowie Jim Bowie he was sensitive sensitive man!

[demeandr121]

His knife was way bigger

[weenyone]

If they do a remake, Kevin Spacey is a shoe in

[Juliaflo]

@weenyone I second, third, fourth, and fifth that.

Have a Happy Holiday.

[AcePilot101]

What's all this crap here about Mexico?

[GirMcDog]

This is ALWAYS in my head. ._.

[greenmean1]

They should bring this show back with Bode Miller in the lead role...Jim Bode..Jim Bode... only have Bode sporting a Davey Crockett type coon skin hat, the rating's would be off the charts.

[mumbleora]

What they fought for was to be able to bring slavery in to Texas. Mexico said Hell to the No!

Bowie belived in money. Mexico believed "We'll kick your ass".

[hammerogod]

The Battle of the Alamo and the story of what really motivated Bowie, Travis, Bonham and Crockett has never been accurately told ... you are basically correct but no Texan can face the truth about the events .. General Antonio López de Santa Anna was reasserting Mexican rights to what was Mexican Soverign land ... a few greedy men, including Sam Houston, cost the lives of the defenders of the Alamo ... if you do an unbiased study a picture of betrayal and treachery starts to become clear.

[petermilley]

The Director Told Him How To Remove The Knife...Great WHOOSH As It Missiles Through The Air.

This Was JUst About The Best Part Of The Show Us KIds Reckoned.

[6905632418]

Huney ...i'M HOME*

[jafomab]

see the real Jim Bowie who outfought and then killed many armed men with his knife skills before he died at the battle of the Alamo see wikipedia

i saw this show as a kid

[111sienna]

very cool

[ArmyBoyRFA]

Nope its BOWIE and its friken awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RFA=Real Fucking American

HOOAH MOTHER FUCKER

[deja2049]

maybe it IS boo-ey. like bouy. search it.

[442462]

Say...did it seem like he had a hard time pulling the knife out of the door? Seemed kind of wimpy.

[tfs123123]

watch his like only son open the door right there!

[toobyu2859]

I always wondered why they pronounced his name "boo- eee" and not "bow-ee". It was a bow-ee knife, not a "boo- ee" knife.

[jongreek]

good gimmick and then the song and treatment ruins it. awful. He should be gutting bad guys like fish with a kick ass rock tune behind him. he looks like too much of a pretty boy. the real Jim Bowie would've kicked his ass.

[442462]

Most people just knock.

[AlexSDU]

LOL. That's a good one.

[shanghaibenny2]

@442462

Ha-ha. That's a good one. As the saying goes, "To the man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

[ironman5454]

@shanghaibenny2 "I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and 'saw'.

[shanghaibenny2]

@ironman5454

You have a good grasp of things. You nailed down that one.

[ironman5454]

@442462 LOL !!! That was GREAT LOL !!!

[iBridNaked]

@ironman5454 LOL !!! Your obviously REALLY old LOL !!!

[68blues]

They should take that knife away from him, he's going to have somebodys eye out....irresponsible Jim.

[Baskerville22]

I agree. What if someone had opened the door just as he released the knife...

Of course, whilst he could carve up or decapitate the bad guys with the knife....it was totally impractical for eating hus morning bacon & eggs.

[68blues]

Another thing, look at the flowers surrounding the door it's all pretty. That's no desperadoes door, that's his freakin' grandmas house. I'll bet he steals money off her as well....thieving vandal.

[68blues]

Will somebody tell me why he chucked the knife at the door before he went in.

[salvadorsalvona]

jim bowie was a freemason,he was a member of the "l'humble chaumiere lodge number 19 opelousa louisiana.davie crocket was also a mason,oh and not forgetting travis who fought alongside them at the alamo.guess what?santa anna the man they fought? a freemason! lol! then along came houston a tad late, yes you guessed it.....a mason! when he fought santa anna he let him go after the next battle,excuse being santa anna gave him the masonic sign of distress!

[nymanjohn]

Highly unlikely Santa Ana was a free mason. He was probably a Catholic and if I am not mistaken required all immigrants to Mexico to convert to Catholicism. Maybe Bowie was a Catholic too.

[mumbleora]

Jim Bowie was a slave owner and smuggled enslaved africans even after it had been outlawed. Mexico did not want slavery in Texas and told these squatters not to bring it there. Bowie, Crockett, Travis and others had other ideas. So the mexicans slaughtered them as they well should have. This is not what they teach you in school about history, they polish it up and make you think people were great freedom fighters when these people were dirty dogs.

[DrSho]

you are a hater

[mumbleora]

Why shouldn't I be??

[arcturus33333]

See "Columbus Day - Why are we Celebrating?" I don't know about Bowie, but Columbus wasn't anything like he's celebrated evidently.

[mumbleora]

Both were very evil people in my opinion. if you read their true histories.

[arcturus33333]

Half of U.S. history is probably lies, propaganda and b.s. if the truth was known.

[mumbleora]

There are three kinds of education. One you learn in school which is a good primer, one you give yourself throw self learning and associations, one the education of years of living. From those three you can weed out whats's true, and what's not.

[ussmissouri63]

@mumbleora fuck you jackass you're a son of a bitch cuz u have no clue what the hell ur talkin about

[mumbleora]

What did I say that is false? Please inform me old wise one.

[mumbleora]

The propped up all these bad guys, jesse james, bat masterson,wyatt earp. Now there were real heros, don't misunderstand me, but not these people who they sing about in DEEP BASS VOICES. (wow...Gutted from butt to breastbone). Kind of like they do a 3 piece chicken at KFC.

[ussmissouri63]

@mumbleora im talkin about the alamo thing those guys were heroes and they died fighting for what they believed in

[mumbleora]

I really wish you people would start reading more instead of going with these fables about people you grew up just hearing about.

[hammerogod]

@ussmissouri63 ... No, they were not Heros ... they were a bunch of ragtag opportunists looking to make money at the expense of the people who already lived in that part of MEXICO ... they were strongly pro-slavery and most of them were trying to get something for nothing ... They never expected to die .. Sam Houston betrayed them by not sending the army at Goliad to help them .. he had a feud with Travis and payback was a bitch.

[mumbleora]

@hammerogod ..Isn't that what I said???

[mumbleora]

You never answered my question. What did I say that " have no clue what the hell ur talkin about ".

Don't just run your mouth unless you know what YOU'RE talking about.

[hammerogod]

@ussmissouri63 It's hard to face the truth sometimes.

[ptracy4]

The openings for some of these old action/adventure programs were sooo corny.

[saunders49]

Oh my God! I haven't seen the opening in 50 years! Scott Forbes I believe played Bowie. It was a better time back then...and it's not just because I'm getting old.

[stroppytube]

I agree, Saunders49! Hasn't the world become a dangerous and horrible place! Forget all the mod cons...give me back my mother and father...my family home and the comfortable times we had sitting in front of our old Astor 21" b/w tv watching wonderful shows like this with cup of cocoa in hand.

[saunders49]

God bless you, my friend. We are from a different but better generation! I also truly miss those days!

[salvadorsalvona]

yes no one got drunk,or took drugs or beat their wives,oh and there wasn't any peadophiles,prostitutes or homosexuals etc,etc....get real!

[TBronko]

If you were around in those days, I think you would understand that there was less of all that malicious stuff. Were there victims back then? Sure. Not as many though.

If you lived through that period and were not affected by drugs, vice and violence, you would long for those days too.

[CrimsonCrux]

If the media of back then had the same coverage of WW2 and the Korean war as they do now and you were inundated with videos of what happened in your youth, it would not seem like Arcadia then. Rose-tinted glasses don't hide the dark parts of humanity. I could sprout the same stuff about my youth with Thundercats, Transformers and He-man.

[salvadorsalvona]

what a crock! drugs have been on the go for ever! they just never reported it the way they do now,

[heiwaalchemist]

i never seen this show :( looks good though^^

[ShockDoc]

I remember watching this as a 5 or 6 year old, but I didnt even recognize the opening or the song. Shame on me...

[Juliaflo]

A pop quiz -- who is Jock Mahoney's celebrated step-daughter?

[janecny315]

Sally Field

[Juliaflo]

You guessed it.

Who knew she would reach the point where everybody 'really, really liked her'?

[saunders49]

No, No No,,,Sally Fields is the step daughter of the late great actor-stuntman Jocko Mahoney. He played Yancy Derringer.

[janecny315]

I read that she was his stepdaughter a long time ago.

[aswanage]

I remember Yancy Derringer. Could someone find a clip of Jock Mahoney playing Yancy? By the way am I the only one that thinks this actor looks like George Montgomery?

[dedalto]

Remember the Indian sidekick played by Rex Brand, I think that was his name.

[Juliaflo]

I believe you are looking for 'X Brands'.

(Don't agree with me, I am not perfect).

[442462]

Holy cow, I didn't know there were TWO of us who remember this show! Anybody remember Yancy Derringer and his sidekick Pahoo?

[GenericGene]

I havent seen this in over 40 years - thanks

[tranquilatus]

I never knew this show existed. Thanks for posting!
