Repeated efforts were made to get the late Lisa Gaye to attend the western film conventions (she was indeed always quite popular with tv/western buffs), but she just wasn't really interested. Her sis, Debra Paget, also living in Houston, attended at least two or three events back in the 1990s...

Overall, I tended to enjoy "Johnny Staccato," but I recall that episode "Solomon" singularly trying my patience. Usually I just try to discount such episodes as necessary 'budget' episodes, done on the quick and cheap, with limited sets and emphasis on characterizations and close-ups. But...

I watched those "Chan" tv-episodes also, when the Encore Mystery channel ran them. Taped quite a few of them. Enjoyed them for what they were, although they were a far, far cry from the movie series that I loved. There's a good write-up on the tv-series in one of the issues of that...

Those "Hitchcock" intros are always a lot of fun. I still enjoy them, although the AHP series itself can be pretty hit-or-miss with me. On the 'miss' side of things, I saw an episode on Me-TV a couple of months back that I found rather aggravating. It was entirely engaging and entertaining...

I was rather saddened upon the news of Ahna Capri's perishing in a car accident a few years back. Seemed like one of those awfully senseless tragedies. Ditto what similarly happened to Zina Bethune around the same time.

If there's any doubt, I can state that "The Dakotas" was put into syndication, despite its short run of episodes. I have the TV Guides from a local station in Louisiana, which reran the series on Wednesday afternoons in late-1965/early-1966. They ran a different western each weekday, with this...

Yes, nice write-up on that rather chilling episode, Randall. I always perk up when I see the name Harry Julian Fink as screenwriter, regardless of series. I usually know I'm in for a goodie. I know that when it comes to HGWT, a lot of folks praise Gene Roddenberry's efforts, but honestly...

For a memorable Audrey Dalton performance, take a gander at the episode of "The Dakotas" entitled "A Nice Girl from Goliath," in which she plays a really, really twisted gal. Psychotically evil, who seems to really get off on instigating death and violence. When I saw Dalton at the...

Debra Paget is a real sweetheart. I think she still lives in Houston, but I'm not sure how she's doing healthwise. She had to cancel a public appearance a couple of years back. I encountered her a couple of times back in the 1990s, and she was quite a dear. Despite some of the hotsy-totsy...

Ha! There's probably hundreds of stories out there about the constant battling going on between the married Long and Corday. The stories are so outlandish as to almost be comical. Like when Corday was in her car, backing up and crashing into their garage numerous times, in response to a drunk...

Yeah, I remember that weird illogic about tornados from that "Six Million Dollar Man" episode. I like to think I can maintain decent levels of "suspension of disbelief," but things like this are so bad that they can completely undermine an episode. There was also a very similar situation...
