The Roy Rogers Show ran for 100 episodes from 1951 to 1956. Although not a lawman, Roy and Trigger brought justice to Mineral City while Dale reminded us that two wrongs don't make a right. Like many kids, I didn't much care for Dale, but Roy and Pat Brady and Nellie Belle -- especially Nellie Belle -- were cool.
Here's an episode from 1952, Outlaw's Girl:

As usual, Todd Mason has a roundup of other Overlooked A/V at his blog Sweet Freedom.
Loved that show as a kid. At the Traverse City Film Festival they showed some of his films to celebrate his 100th birthday.
ReplyDeleteRoy apparently wasn't so fond of Dale that he didn't play around...perhaps part of what drove her deeper into evangelism...their daughter definitely loved Trigger...
