a-okTopic: TV Shows
Today I'm blogging about a TV show that is on the classic TV network, Memorable Entertainment TV (Me TV). That show would be Bonanza. Yes, I watched this TV show as a kid, as it was one that was a family show, or at least when I watched it with my folks. The show ran from September 12th of 1959 to January 16th of 1973. I missed the early seasons of the TV show as it ran on Saturday nights from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. (From 1959 to 1961.) Then it moved to Sunday nights, running from 9 to 10 pm. I remember the less violent seasons, not like the first two seasons that have been showing recently on Me TV. It is a wonder that the show ran for those years. But it was one of the few TV shows filmed in color and the major sponsor of the show sold TV sets. So now you know... As the seasons progressed the show became less 'clanish' and the Cartwrights opened up to outsiders. Plus the violence (gunplay) was toned down. The later years were more talking about guns instead of using them. I found the show enjoyable back then in the 1960s and even more so now in the 2014 -15 era when I can see the early seasons on a daily basis on MeTV. I would recommend recording this show and viewing at a better time for you and your family to watch together. The comic book connection to this TV show? Well, here is the link to the many comic books that were published from 1962 to the early 1970s by Gold Key Comics (Western). I've read many of those issues over the years, but not all of them. They are a little harder to find now, and usually in Fine (6.0) grade for the most part. I do have western comic books for sale at my online comic book shop, ComicBooksCircus.com. You can watch this series or record it at 2PM on MeTV as I do! ~Michael
