   I'm glad those old shows are showing up on DVD. My Dad got me hooked on Have   
   Gun Will Travel and Wild Wild West as a kid. (I'll leave that awful movie   
   remake of WWW to the bargain bin at Wal-Mart!) Ed Ames is underrated I   
   always thought, too. Hollywood needs to wake up and make westerns again. How   
   many times can they remake Porky's and Animal House? I saw Open Range on a   
   Thursday afternoon, and you couldn't find a seat here! Look how popular   
   Deadwood seems to be (though I don't have HBO). The Hallmark Channel has   
   weekend western fests, along with AMC. Excuse that rant, you all, but I   
   couldn't resist! ;)
