OK, let me see if I can come up with a couple of questions:
1. Who starred in "Highway Patrol"?
Answer is Broderick Crawford.
2. On "Richard Diamond, Private Eye", you only saw the legs of David Janssen's secretary, Sam. Whose legs were they?
3. In Captain Midnight, what was his sidekick's name, and how did he spell his name?
4. Why did none of the Cartright brothers look anything like each other?
From different fathers?
5. Why did Jack Webb's delivery sound so stiff on Dragnet?
Too much starch in his shorts.
6. What was Ozzie's job on Ozzie and Harriet?
7. In what city was "The Life and Times of Wyatt Earp" set? What was his job? What was wrong with saying he had that job?
Dodge City? Gunslinger. Everybody was gunning for him.8.
Who was Quick Draw McGraw's sidekick?
9. What connection is there between the "Burns and Allen Show" and "The Flintstones?"
10. On the "Bob Cummings Show", what was his assistant's name? Who played her?
[B] ??? Nancy Culp?[/B
]OK, finally can anyone explain the following things from "Gunsmoke" (fyi, I cannot)
A. Why did they have Matt Dillon be a US Marshall, when clearly his job was more Town Marshall. At the time, 1870, there were only 14 US Marshall's in the whole country.
B. Why did Matt always wear spurs. He was mostly in town, and even when riding his horse, never had the need for spurs?
C. Why did Matt never have any deputies...until near the end when Festus finally was promoted.
D. Why did Matt have tie down's on his holster, when he never tied them, including almost all the opening gun fight scenes?
E. In the Longbranch you almost always hear a piano playing, but in all the episodes I've seen, I've never seen one in there. Has anyone else?
And finally:
F. Did Matt and Kitty ever "get together?"
It was implied.
Early in my career I had the good fortune to interview Milburn Stone (Doc Adams) near the end of his life. (He grew up in the tiny town of Burrton, Kansas.) I asked him about why Matt and Kitty never seem to kiss, or really show any affection. He said it was a family show. (Apparently OK to kill an average of 3 people per show, but never kiss.) But, he said, "everyone knew what Matt and Kitty were doing up stairs." It was a great line. And I enjoyed talking with him greatly.
