Regular viewing our house in the 60s.  Never realised until years later he had a red shirt as we only had a black and white TV.

No mention if COVID19 involved so didn't use the other thread.

    RIP. Was staple viewing at my house too.

    Always thought of Trampas as the star of the show, though maybe because 'The Virginian' was never named.

    Yep standard fare in our house when I was a kid. I remember one episode that seemed longer than normal when they all got involved in the Civil War. Trampas, aka Doug Mclure seemed to steal a lot of the scenes as I recall, I always wanted to be him, rather than The Virginian himself, who seemed a bit po faced in comparison.
    RIP

    Natural causes according to IMDb.

    My goodness, Casey Jones, I’d forgotten that one..... Casey Jones...... can’t remember anything about it apart from the credits with ol Casey giving a cheesy grin, as the feem toon blasted on about Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express!
    Edit - just watched 5 mins of an old Casey episode I found on YouTube. Yeah, of it’s time, best left there I think....👍🏻😉

    RIP. Like others loved the programme. Seem to recall several Western type programmes ( Bonanza etc ) from back in the day.

    Loved the show. TV back in the day was mostly westerns and we watched them all. If I listed all of them I'd end up with writer's cramp!
