Seeing Robertson and Payne sequential here gives rise to the memory that a point in the '50s (before we even had a TV!), they had back-to-back shows. I think Monday night, probably between 8 and 9.

Can anybody name those shows?

Robinson did Wells Fargo Tales or close to that title in the mid-late 50's

Truth is John Payne stirs nothing.

Was William Schallert( usually played the Dad {to Patty Duke and many others} during the 60-70's) ever a host on DVDays?

Had to ask my sister about this one but she says that John Payne (Miracle On 34th Street) was in The Restless Gun at 8:00 and Dale Robertson was in Wells Fargo at 8:30. Dale Robertson was in The Iron Horse and I think that John Payne was the The Name Of The Game which starred Gene Barry in 1968.

Yikes! Somebody else who remembers TV time slots from almost 50 years ago. Yes, Tales of Wells Fargo (Jim Hardie) and The Restless Gun (Vint Bonner). What network? :-)

[cullman]

It was on good old NBC.

Dang! You're good!
