Default Johnny Crawford of "The Rifleman" passes at 75.
Johnny Crawford obituary: “The Rifleman” star dies at 75 – Legacy.com

Easy to remember this actor when he was the Rifleman's kid in The Rifleman.

I still watch that show when it's available. Rest in peace, Johnny Crawford.

I liked Johnny Crawford and still watch the Rifleman and Gunsmoke too. Both of those shows are better than the current "entertainment" that comes out of Hollywood.

In 2019, MeTV reported that Johnny Crawford had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

Chuck Conners also was great. I believe he was a baseball and basketball player prior to acting. I also remember him in the movie Tourist Trap- Wax Museum
Horror, as well as many other movies. Google his movies and you will be surprised how many he was in.

Amen to that! Action & a good story line, with morals. Nothing you can find on “reality” tv.

Isn’t it funny how years ago television was free and we had a ton of shows to choose from. Most of them all family shows or just good entertainment. Families could all watch together. Now, we pay a fortune for 400 channels and never have anything to watch!

He was the only reason I watched the Rifleman when my Dad did. He was kind of cute. Ah, memories.

Have Gun will Travel, Gunsmoke & Rifleman were a little more realistic. Today’s westerns are a lot like Rambo’s, one cowboy will shoot 50 bad guys & they don’t even get a nick. Yes , I agree the older westerns are a little more realistic. Today’s are geared more to the kids like Army video games.

When we lose some of these actors from TV shows and movies from our past it's like we lose just a little more of our childhood. Then we mourn both.
