It was worthy enough for you to post in it.

I have noticed that a lot of the bad guys got kilt on 5-6 episodes. They came back as a different character and got lit up again.
"Beaumont" the nearly blind Shotgun man played in 11 episodes



Fun fact: NBA player Chuck Connors Persons was named after the celebrity because his mom loved The Rifleman.

Prost, old boy.

I’d hazard that the Drapes & Carpet prolly match because I’ve visited similar phenotypical women.

The ‘80s were a good time to have a good time.

Mark's IRL brother was an actor too. He appeared on a few episodes of the Rifleman.

You assume single dads like that don’t exist and base your ideal single dad on a TV show character from the 50s/60s.

While going down a random IMDB rabbit hole this evening, I saw that he had died. I grew up watching old western movies and TV shows with my grandfather. The Rifleman was one of my favorites.

If memory serves me correctly he was the last surviving member of the TV cast.

I binge watch it once a year. There is a YouTube channel called Pro Classic TV that has the series in it's entirety. I'll cast it to my TV from phone and just enjoy the show once a year. Makes me think of my grandfather who passed away back in 2015. He loved Western movies and TV shows.

What would you consider the maximum age at which someone would die that you would still consider noteworthy?

Just for the record, how old are you. Just in case.

I just read on the Movie\TV board that Olympia Dukakis has passed away at age 89.

Is it OK to be sad or is she also too old to matter?
