You beat me to it SuperClark, I was going to post all 15 Amazon preview pictures, but maybe that's a little too much. (Click to enlarge.)

Dale Evans: Easter Bonnet and some other hats.

GRIT is finally showing HELLFIRE With GRIT showing some of the Paramount Republic Trucolor restorations and later B&W widescreen Republics, let's hope HELLFIRE is shown in the latest restoration. HELLFIRE will be on GRIT, Wed. March 6th, 9AM to 11AM, EST. I think this YouTube upload is the...

Bert, that's funny about robbing the Hallmark Channel's safe. It would be a big haul. I've been getting the paper Critic's Choice catalog. There are pages and pages and pages of Hallmark Channel Disc titles for sale. In the last fifteen years, since the Warner Archives started, I think the...

The topic here is fun, Jeff. (Although, I do try to bring it back to Roy Rogers, eventually.) I remember watching "The Cowboys", but don't remember what I thought of it. It also starred Jim Davis so that gives us a Republic Pictures connection. It only had 12 episodes. Wonder if OUTLAW will...

Jeff, that "Colt .45' listed is the Randolph Scott movie. But I expect the classic WB TV series B&W's will all eventually be shown on OUTLAW. , and some are on the other OTAs. In articles about OUTLAW, it's mentioned that the station will be available online at some point. GritXtra is online...

A new OTA Western Channel started in January. It's called OUTLAW. I don't like the name. I know many westerns feature good-bad men and bad-good men, characters that have been around the prairie a few times. But calling the channel OUTLAW is the wrong message to send. The traditional western...

I just watched Anna Lee in an episode of the "Northwest Passage" TV series. She stayed acting in movies and TV episodes and soaps forever. Anna Lee. I think G.I. WAR BRIDES and FLYING TIGERS were her only Republic pictures. FLYING TIGERS. Anna Lee with her daughter...

The GRIT print of THE LAST STAGECOACH WEST was pillar-boxed and cropped, but still had the NATURAMA designation onscreen under the title. That poster above for "Frontier Rangers" did use artwork and photo reference from the 1940 "Northwest Passage". The three figures represent Robert Young...

Adding to Scott's Lone Ranger at the 25th Silver ABC Anniversary Special 1978. Hugh O'Brian, Chuck Conners, Clint Walker, John Wayne, David Carradine, Clayton Moore, Michael Ansara, and Jack Kelly. Clip of the western segment, hosted by John Wayne, in the 1978 special. GRIT is showing...

Say, where's Roy? I think he's in Australia. Found some nice pen and ink covers for Australian Roy Rogers comics. I think they reprinted stories from the Roy Rogers Dell comics. They really had some nice detail on Roy's shirts and Trigger's gear. The Australian comic site also...

"Northwest Passage"-1958-59, 26 episodes in Metrocolor, was another series that edited three episodes together for three theatrical releases worldwide, 1959-61. "Frontier Rangers" "Mission of Danger" "Fury River". "Northwest Passage" was based on the 1940 MGM movie. The series used some...

Here are some Superman feature posters. They even name the TV episodes. Wonder if they had new transition scenes or just the episodes one after another?

I posted a bunch of the Hickok feature posters in Post #659 back on page 33. At that time I found a stat that said that in 1952 there were 16 million TV sets in U.S. households. That was about 10% of the population. Europe was still rebuilding after WWII and probably had even less TVs in...

Randolph Scott played a different character in the 1950 Warner Bros. "Colt .45" movie. Not 'Chris Colt' of the "Colt .45"-1957-60, TV series. The "Colt .45" movie had the title changed to "Thundercloud" for TV showings to avoid confusion with the TV series. (Scott's "Sugarfoot"-1951 became...

Say Clark when you say your avatar was inspired by Dan Troop, do you mean you painted it? If yes or no what was the painting for?

Ran across a later Republic western on GRIT, yesterday. HELL'S CROSSROADS-1957, B&W. I joined it in progress and thought it was pretty good. It's the old Jesse James story, told through the point of view of a gang member and Bob Ford and his family. It was in widescreen on GRIT. One of the...

They didn't use the Stan Jones vocal version of the "Texas John Slaughter" theme song on the feature. This album version is a little different than the one used on the TV episodes. (I am puzzled that IMDB refers to these early ABC "Walt Disney Presents" episodes as "The Magic of Walt Disney".)...

This Friday, GRIT is showing the first expanded feature version of Disney's "Texas John Slaughter" series. I think there were at least four of them released theatrically here and in the rest of the world. Released on VHS in the 80s. This 74-minute feature is a combination of the first two...

More from Penny's tennis set. Ha! Getty actually identified this pic as being Dale and Roy. Hey! Does Dale know about this?

Some visuals for Bert's "Stormy" post. Raymond Hatton and J. Farrell MacDonald with Jean Rogers. Didn't MacDonald have a great voice. Noah Beery, Jr. with Jean Rogers. Noah Beery, Sr. was in nine Republic productions. Noah Beery, Jr. was in three Republic pictures. THE CARSON CITY...

Roy Rogers illustrated Whitman book. Might be a Christmas story, Well, snow anyway. Penny Edwards and Geraldine Brooks. The second unit on location doubles for Jeff Hunter and John Wayne. "The Searchers". Of course, Republic did the same for many of Roy's later movies and other...

Roy Rogers with Herbert Yates and Vera Ralston, in front of a poster for ICE CAPADES REVUE-1942. Vera Ralston. King Roy and Queen Vera in LAKE PLACID SERENADE-1944. Vera with Wild Bill Elliott and The Sons of the Pioneers for WYOMING-1947. In WYOMING Vera plays both Wild...

GritTV will be showing TRAIL OF ROBIN HOOD four times in December, probably with 90-minute time slots: Friday December 1, 11PM. Sunday December 17, 6 AM. Saturday December 23, 2:30AM. (Check this, might really be early Sunday, Dec 24.) Monday December 25, 6:30AM. Roy's co-star in TRAIL OF ROBIN...

I took a look at what is on YouTube for CALL OF THE YUKON. It's a good illustration of the odd editing that happened to these Republics for TV syndication. None of the three uploads of CALL OF THE YUKON had any Republic logos fore or aft. Here's a TV release title card, showing the TV...
