Only going by the choice of the two, I wouldn’t vote for any of them, neither deserve a vote imo, I feel for the American people and the rest of the people on the planet that the next president will be one of these two.
How could I have forgot Champion the Wonder Horse or the Cisco Kid. Thanks for bringing those two to mind.
Yes, I was lucky in that respect in that respect. We got a TV when I was 6, I think. 60 years ago now. Mind you, my granny had one a year or two before that, because I can remember watching Andy Pandy (and Luby Lu) and the ole flower pot men and Rag, tag and bobtail. Still, they pale in comparison to the Cowboys.

Next door to us in the Long Row in Coatbridge in a similary ‘works tied’ house lived ma pal Graham Lynn.
Oh how often we had listened wide-eyed to tales of these great cowboy heroes and their exploits as shown on something called television.
One day about when we were both about 3 years old, sittin on the steps of the outside toilet making ascending mud castles forged from eggboxes, I telt him that ma granny who lived across the Gartsherrie Road had a telly.
And so in those days when weans were weans, we wandered down to the road and although you would think that the traffic would be lighter, the crossing point was just outside the entrance to the iron and steel works…Lorries bringing coal, removing slag and transporting iron and steel were everywher.
I made a dash for it and reaching the other kerb, turned triumphantly expecting to see Graham standing right behind me.
Sadly he wasn’t.
I looked back and there he was …what a disastrous mess.
To my eternal shame, I burst out laughing.
There he stood on the opposite pavement, shite leaking beneath his short trousered legs and running down past his knees and into his ankle socks.
He never did get to see the Loan Ranger , but every saturday for as long as can remember I would entice him down to the road just to see him shite himself.
I still feel ashamed of that.
About a year and a half later we were given a council house and no longer were dependent on the vagaries of the bowler hatted lodge bosses for the roof over our head and we moved to a marvelous new residence in Old Monkland.
The houses filled up one by one with families introducing themselves to each other as this brave new world took on the myth of a sunny laughter filled future and the prospect of yer dad getting a saturday off work, began to take shape.
New inventions previously only heard of in comics and SF stories became commonplace.
Washing Machines, Electric irons, Record Players, Transistors, inside toilets…….magic
We lived at number 40…and then obne day the previously stubbornly empty number 48 was adorned with curtains.
I walked up to greet the new residents and knocked the door.
It was opened by my pal from those few years before.

To each his own.
Who are we to judge.
Paladin: I knew of it but only saw a couple of episodes. Must have been on after my bedtime.
I wasn’t a fan of Muffin the Mule. Can’t remember why now.
