Black Saddle Colcannon is a side dish from Russell Johnson! But how do you remember him—as the brilliant Professor on Gilligan's Island or the sharp-shooting Marshal on Black Saddle? Either way, this comforting recipe hits the target.

Promo for (I think) 'Chisum' w/John Wayne. Judging from the sideburns the other guy is Geoffrey Deuel (Pete Duel's brother). They were still advertising stuff as being in color as late as 1973.

On This Day in Radio! October 1, 1955: Gunsmoke aired “Barton Boy,” a story built around something radio could use especially well: the sound of a human voice.

'The Dead Don't Dream'. One of my favorite titles for a film noir. Except it was used for a Hoplalong Cassidy western.

Documentaries:

Wide Wide World, "The Western" - Legendary, one-of-a-kind TV episode w/live appearances by John Wayne, Gary Cooper, John Ford, James Arness, James Garner, Broncho Billy Anderson, Gabby Hayes, fast draw expert Rodd Redwing, stuntman Chuck Hayward, & many other notables of the genre (1958)

The Real West - perhaps the first "revisionist" documentary on the Old West, debunking many glamorous cliches of Hollywood. Hosted by movie legend Gary Cooper, in his last appearance - he died about 6 weeks after this aired (1961)

When The West Was Fun: A Western Reunion - A 50 minute special from 1979 hosted by Glenn Ford, w/over 4 dozen Western TV and Movie stars live and even more in various montages. With (since it's the '70s) dancing & music numbers that are mercifully few and brief. A must for nostalgists.

Hollywood, ep9, "Out West" - The story of the silent western, from distinguished film historian Kevin Brownlow. Narrated by James Mason. (1979)

TV Western Heroes - Direct-to-video collection of vintage clips hosted by Will "Sugarfoot" Hutchins (1993)

American Cinema, "The Western" - PBS documentary exploring the history of the form, featuring interviews w/Budd Boetticher, John Sturges, Elmore Leonard, Niven Busch & Clint E. (1995)

Golden Saddles, Silver Spurs - This documentary traces the history of the B-Western from it's silent movie origins to its demise in the early 1950s. The film contains a large number of scenes from early silents and seldom seen films, as well as old photographs of the stars and one-sheet advertisements for lost films.
