Hi Curley...I remember some I used to listen to on the radio when I was a kid:

1. Wild Bill Hockok (Guy Madison) with Jingles (Andy Devine) as his sidekick.

2. Hopolong Cassidy (William Boyd) with California (Andy Clyde)

3. The Cisco Kid with Pancho

4. Red Ryder with Little Beaver

5. Hawk Larabee...(can't remember his sidekick)

Love your videos.

Thanks for your kind comment, I found this one on the web.

First heard 07/12/46 as HAWK DURANGO, the program soon changed its name to HAWK LARABEE and starred Barton Yarborough as Hawk. Barney Phillips played the sidekick role, Sombre Jones. Barton Yarborough also played the sidekick to Elliott Lewis' role of Hawk Larabee in a different version of this program. Last heard 02/07/48.

Loved the brief clip of 'Lofty' from the Annie Oakley TV show. Gail Davis, who played Annie with pigtails and a smile that wouldn't quit, made me spring wood for the first time. Thanks, Gail. . .

Just about 60 years ago I remember going to a rodeoin between rides they had a buffalo show and Gaby rode around the fence line shaking hands with all us kids . That I thought then as now ,it was a pretty big deal !

I have Smiley Burnetts autograph but im 19 years old and didnt know anything about him so i didnt think to much about it! I should have heard of him cause he's from my own state of missouri.

@Labaron26 Little Beaver was played by Robert Blake, who later became TV's Baretta. He always said "you betchum", Red Ryder. The PC people wouldn't let you do that now.

@curleyb3 Hi Curleyb3, I just wanted to thank you for these videos. It really brings back memories of growing up in the fifties (I am 58). I just loved Walter Brennan in the Real McCoys, and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Gabby Hayes and Noah Beery, among others. Today, so many of the actors seem ugly (in their real-life character). Thank you for helping me remember wonderful people in the years past.
