With action and suspense out of the Old West comes the most famous hero of them all, Hopalong Cassidy, starring William Boyd. The ring of the silver spurs harrows the most amazing man ever to ride the prairies of the early West, Hopalong Cassidy. The same hoppy you cheer in motion pictures and the same California you've laughed at a million times. Raw courage and quick shooting have built a legend around this famous hero. Hopalong is a name to be feared, respected, and admired for this great cowboy rides the trails of adventure and excitement. William Boyd as Hopalong Cassidy and and declared as California. Well Hoppy, what about our story? We call this one wet beef and dry bones. It all started when California and I are returning from a trip in the Mexico. We were riding through the broken country that lies east of Palo Verde in order to avoid Massacre Canyon, staring clear of Massacre Canyon with California's idea. A lot of strange stories that sprung up about the canyon, and even though California wouldn't admit he believed them, he still couldn't see any sense in taking chances. You suppose any such thing could be true, Hoppy? Well, do you? I'm asking a question. Oh, oh, I'm sorry, California, afraid I wasn't listening. I know you weren't.  Soon as I start talking, you start thinking of it, something else. Self-protection, California. You keep it up and you'll be needing protection. All right, I'm sorry. Go ahead, start over again. What was it you wanted to know? I was just asking all about them redskins that got massacred in Massacre Canyon, Hoppy. That's all. The way I hear it, when a dark night comes, when there ain't no moon, them redskins come alive again and go hooping and hollering through the canyon. You suppose there's any truth in it? I wouldn't know. I've never been there. Oh, just a lot of talk, of course. I ain't swallowing any of that no-siri, but Hoppy, they say anybody who sees them redskins don't ever live to tell about it. Think there could be anything in there? Well, I've heard of lots of people who've seen Indians and haven't lived to tell about it. Live Indians, naturally. I wouldn't know much about them after they've turned into ghosts. Neither would I know. And don't know much about any ghosts. Except there ain't a power for a lot of meat on them. Wait a second, California. Look ahead there. Hey, ain't that a female? That's Molly Enders, isn't it? I don't know. Who's Molly Enders? Oh, you know her. Dave Enders' wife. Dave's the deputy over at the town of Verde. Hey, what's she cutting away from the trail for? She's trying to dodge it? Looks like it doesn't. But what first? I don't know. Probably must took us for someone else. So, someone she's scared of? Well, that's the thought, California. Could be. Supposedly ought to find out about it. Oh, friend of yours, ain't she? That's right.  I don't see her. Where's she got to? Get her down that draw. We cut toward the other end. We should get there about the time she does. Get up, boy. Come on, Potter. This way. Where's your happy keeper going? Who, who, Potter? Who, who are you, sparring coyote? Whoa, there, whoa. California, I don't see her.  She's certainly here. Here I am. Where are you, my, uh, where? Right behind these rocks. I've been waiting for you. What's the idea of the gun, Molly? Why, just the usual idea, Hoppy. I use it to shoot with. Not at us, I hope. You can hope if you want to, but make one move you shouldn't. And you're going to feel real drafty. All back to Hoppillon Cassidy and our story. Wet beef and dry bones. When Hoppillon Cassidy in California were riding the trail that lay between Palo Verde and Massacre Canyon, they not only met Molly Enders, but also met with a surprise. Molly was supposed to be their friend. Yet, now she stands with a gun pointed directly at Hoppillon's middle. I mean business, Hoppy. I'm going to Massacre Canyon. Try to stop me and I'll shoot. We never intended to stop you, Molly. We thought you'd mistaken us for somebody else. No. You were serious? You were really going into the canyon? I have to. My husband's there. In Massacre Canyon? Golly, I wouldn't go there for all the cows in Texas. Dave left for the canyon a week ago. He went with Bob Travis. He was supposed to come back the next day. And no one heard of him since. He's been gone a week? All right, Molly. What's so unusual about that? He's a deputy sheriff, isn't he? I imagine he's often gone longer than he expected. Yeah, but this time is different. This time he went to the canyon. I've heard stories about that canyon. Are you trying to tell me that's true? Look, if you lived in this valley, you'd know they're true, Hoppy. People go to the canyon and just disappear. Don't ask me why they just disappear. And dead Indians go howling up and down the canyon at night. That's true too? You don't believe that, do you, Molly? I don't laugh at things the way I used to, Hoppy. Now I just wish Dave had never gone there, that's all. All right, take it easy, Molly. You're not the kind to cry, and if we can help you, we will. You'll have to tell us more, though. Dave didn't go to the canyon without a reason. Did he tell you what it was? He said he thought the canyon was being used by rustlers. But you didn't believe him? How could I? There hasn't been any rustling around here. You sure of that? Of course I am. There had been not a herd of it. You know how cattlemen are. Missed two hairs off the tail of a notch-eared doggy and they yell rustlers clear to the next county. They're always like that. Don't I know it. And besides, there's Bob Travis. The man who went with him? Yes. What about him? Well, he wouldn't have gone if it wasn't something that interested him, would he? And I know he isn't missing any cattle. You've got more cows and grass right now. I see. So now you're worried. So why didn't you tell someone else about this and get help? I did. I told everyone. Did they help me? Nothing's a good one. They wouldn't have gone to the canyon if I'd paid them for it. Scared? Of course they were. They even tried to stop me from going. That's why I pulled this gun on you. I thought you were trying to do the same thing. Well, I'm not that quick worrying about it. There's a reasonable explanation, I'm sure. California and I will try to find out what it is. Now, you'd better go home. We can... What is it about him? A horseman. A horseman. What about him? Look at him. He sure looks beat up, coffee. Look at the way he's sitting that horse. If he ain't careful, he's gonna... Whoop! There he goes. Tumbled right off. We'll have to see what's wrong with him. Who is he, Molly? You look as if you'd seen a ghost. Maybe. Maybe I have. Who is he? Poppy. That's Bob Travis. The man who went to Massacre Canyon with Dave. Feel better now, Bob? A lot better. Thanks, Molly. What else can you tell us about Dave? I think I told you everything. For the first night we camped in the canyon. One minute he wasn't a few feet away from me, then I heard a yell and he was gone. I never saw him again. I looked all over for him, but he just disappeared. Bob, do you think he's dead? Oh, I wouldn't say that, Molly. Disappearance isn't the same as knowing a man's dead, is it? Nah, I wouldn't say he's dead.  He'd pray into that. What happened to you? You look as if you'd had a bad time over yourself. I'll tell you, but you won't believe me. No. What did happen? It was right after Dave disappeared. I got beat up and I don't know who did it. Masked men, neither wangers. It was something that just picked me up and started throwing me around. Something I couldn't see. I couldn't even hit it. I'd swing and it was just like swinging a dare. It? Well, this is what it did to me. Puffy, I reckon that there's canyons the finest place I ever heard tell of, or a sissy out of. Quiet, California, quiet. Bob, I'm going to ask you a favor, a big favor. Molly's anxious about Dave. I promise to look for him. I've heard that Massacre Canyon is a sizable place. Would you go back with us? Show us where all this happened? Well, will you, Bob? When I left there, I swore I'd never go back. I don't blame you. But if you're going, I... You'll go with us. Yes, I will. Good, good. Tell you what I'll do, Hoppy.  I'll ride to the bar 20 and hustle up some of the boys, and then we'll... Don't think we'll need them, California. You'll come with us. But that's definite. Definite? Definite. Oh, that's what I thought. But can you blame a fellow for trying? Well, this is it, Hoppy. This is where we made camp and where Dave disappeared. Well, let's climb down and have a look before it gets too dark. This is where you had to fight with your... Well, whatever it was. Right here. Mm-hmm. It's like there's been a fight here. I sure don't like the looks of this canyon, Hoppy. Hey, Bob, what's that way over there? Abandoned cliff dwellings. They were old when the Spaniards came through here. I'm feeling kind of old myself, looking at all the bones scattered around.  There was, California. Only it wasn't cattle. They were a Pawnee War Party. Cheyenne dog soldiers chased them in here and got them all. That's how the canyon got its name. And these are the bones folks say rise up at night and go riding on the ghosts of their dead war horses. Yeah?  And now look here, Hoppy, about me riding back to the bar. We'll go together. Right now? When we finish here. Oh. And when we do go? Good evening, gentlemen. Well, what is that? I startled you, I'm sorry, but I thought it my duty to warn you. Who the devil are you? Let me introduce myself. I am Jared Stone at your service. And if you should meet with any fatal mishaps while visiting my canyon. You live here? Certainly this is my home. I'm quite safe here. It has been my home for a number of months. But it might not be safe for you. So if you left and returned another time. We're staying. Unless that's for you, of course. Unpack our gear, California. We'll make camp. It'll soon be dark. Hoppy, you're awake. Sure. What's up? Where's Bob? Here I am. Something happened. Something terrible. I've been having drinks. What were they, California? Don't you know? You were in them. What was that? Here, sir. I thought I did. Hold it. I hear something, too. In dead red skin. Quiet. Come on, into the saddle. Gentlemen! Do not move. I have a gun here. This will be and believe me, I shall use it. What's the idea? Your own welfare, sir. If you're old now, it'll be only to meet your death. I may hold you here against your will, sir. But it is for your own good. You, sir. Us? Now you'll see. If you're a blaster-eyed, you weevily old, long-horned... Forget it, California. California. The damage is done now. We couldn't follow those numbers. We wanted to. It's too dark. We'd better turn in again. We can have a look over there in the morning. Hey, what was that? Sounded like Molly. It was Molly. Come on. Molly, where are you? What's the matter? Molly! Molly! Molly! Now, back to Huffleon Cassidy and our story, wet, deep and dry bones. Huffleon Cassidy's first night in Massacre Canyon has brought him more excitement than he had expected. First, he was greeted with the sound of the dead, tawny warriors who were said to rise at night and engage in ghostly maneuvers. This was followed by a piercing scream from out of the night. And now, Hoppy, Bob Travis and California are running toward its source. Molly, is that you? Where are you? I'm here, Charlie. I see her. Molly, Molly, what is it? What happened? Can't you talk, Molly? Are you hurt?  It's more like a scare. That's what I think. It wasn't the Indians that frightened her. They were gone by the time she screamed. Try to pull yourself together, Molly. What is it? Try to tell us. I can't. I can't, Hoppy. You have to tell us. Molly, you have to know. Let her alone, Bob. I meant what she said. She can't. We'll look after her. Perhaps she can tell us in the morning. Just a minute, California. Be right with you. Hoppy, I saw you talking to Molly. Where is she? That stream over there. She's washing up. Oh? Did she tell you anything about last night? She thought she saw days. What? Actually, she isn't sure of what she saw. Said when she tried to get his attention, he just faded away. What was she doing here? She explained that. She said she started home and suddenly felt she couldn't go back. She had to find out what was happening. She reached the canyon, soon after we did. I got her. She was on her way to our campfire when the sound of those Indians stopped her. There's too much going on in this canyon, Hoppy. Too much I don't like. That's the way I feel, Bob. We've got a job to do, and we have to finish it. What do we do now? Dig into California's grub, I guess. And after that, we'll leave Molly to look after our camp while we go see what signs those redskins left. Where are the wire, Hoppy? Uh-huh. Over a pack of ghost California looks to me like they left plenty of signs. Hold it, Hoppy. Here comes our cadaverous friend with the side whiskers. Careful looking, Tuss. Keep your eye on it, Bob. You'll bear watching. Yeah. That's my opinion. Good morning, gentlemen. Hi. Howdy. May I ask what you're doing so early this fine morning? We might ask the same thing. In fact, I think we will. What are you doing? I consider you my guest. I'm looking after your welfare. I thought you did enough of that last night. You may take a lot of looking after my friends, but I see you're studying tracks. Do you make anything of these? What would you make of them? By these tracks are cloven hooves. The devil made them. Mm-hmm, could be. But then cows also have cloven hooves. And from the looks of things, there must have been plenty of them running hard, too. I... What's the matter? I see something. You've got to stay here. I think I'll do a little investigation. Hey, Bob, where'd Hoppy go? He rode in among them rocks. If he isn't back darned soon, I'm going in after him. This isn't one of your tricks, is it? I know nothing about it. I'm just as much in ignorance as you gentlemen are. Wait, Bob, here he comes right now. Hey, Hoppy, what did you find? Plenty, Bob. I found Dave. What? Really? I got to see him. Now, hold it, Bob. But listen to me. You don't want to see him. Oh? He... He's dead, huh? Don't say anything to Molly. Better let me tell her. All right, Hoppy, and she'll okay with me.   If we don't, the same thing can happen to us. That's what I think. You mean you're willing to go? Right now. You and Bob start back the camp. I'll be with you just in a minute. I want to talk to Stone here first. We'll start back. Do that. Come on, Bob. Right.   Come on, Stone. Well, Mr. Cassidy? I think it's about time you did some talking. I've looked around your camp. I have a good idea what you're here for. As for the rest of this, well, I think you've got deeper into something unpleasant than you'd planned on. If you have anything to say, you'd better say it now. Or haven't you? Mr. Cassidy? Well... I'm sorry. I have nothing to say. You'd better think it over. Come on, Topper. Adios, and remember what I said. Think it over. All packed, California? All over the set, Hoppy. You ready, Molly? I'm ready, Hoppy. Good. We'll get started. Wait. What did you say to Stone, Hoppy? I asked him if he was ready to talk. He claimed he wasn't. But when he thinks it over, I believe he will. We'll soon have action, Bob, and when we do, I think we'll have action-a-plenty. Come on. Let's go. Come on. How are we stopping for Hoppy? This is where we separate. Separate? But we just left the canyon, Hoppy. Leaving the canyon was just for Stone's benefit. Bob... What do you mean, Hoppy? I wanted him to think we'd gone, but we're not. You and California and I are going back. But we're circling and entering the canyon from the other end. But what about me?  You're riding there fast and riding back faster. But I... I'll get going. I'll explain when you get back. Okay, Hoppy. I'll be back before you know it.  If you come with us, you'll take orders and be careful, Molly. I'll be careful, Hoppy. And I'll take orders. That's good. And let's get back there. It'll soon be dark. Come on. Yeah. I mean, by surprise that we can. Right, Hoppy?  All right, Stone, we've come back.  Now, you'd better talk. Oh, but I want to talk. I will talk. You don't understand, Mr. Cassidy. No, I don't understand, but I want to. Start at the beginning. What are you doing here? Mr. Cassidy, I'm an archeologist. I came here to study these fifth dwellings. What? What did that? Hoppy, he's shot. He'll keep. Come on, we've got to find out where that shot came from. Hoppy, look at there. Bob. How did he get here? I thought he was in his way to the ranch. What, sir? Wait. I want to see if he's alive. Is he? He's alive, all right. But look here.  But I don't get this, Hoppy. Who hit him? Who fired that shot? Who brought him here? Bob, who fired that shot? Who brought him? That's what you'll soon find out. Now, back to Hoppillong Cassidy and ours for a wet beef and dry bones. Doggone wolves.  Where do you want me put, Bob, Hoppy? Put him down right there. I think he's coming, too. Yeah. There. How's your patient, Molly? I think Mr. Stone's all right, Hoppy. He just got a flesh wound. I'm sure I'm not hurt seriously, Mr. Cassidy. At least I don't feel as if I've been. Ah, you're lucky. You'd have been dead by now if someone hadn't hit Bob just when he shot at you. Bob? Shocked at me? Of course he did. When he gets tired of pretending that he's still unconscious, he'll be ready to admit it. Better come out of it, Bob. We can wait as long as you can, you know. I don't know what you're talking about. I never tried to shoot anybody. Well, your gun tells a different story. You see, you fell right into my trap, Bob. What trap?  We gave you the chance to come back and fry. Don't you said you're an archeologist, didn't you? That's right. I'm... Here to study these cliff-dwelling. Yes, but I wanted to keep my findings secret until my book is published. I happened to mention it to Mr. Travis once, and he said he'd help me out by reviving all those old legends about the canyon. I... Well, I thought it was all sort of a joke. I certainly didn't know that anyone was going to be killed on my account. No one was, not on your account, anyway. Bob's been using this canyon for stolen cattle. His men made those noises like Indians last night. You were just the ghost. But I thought... You thought there'd been no wrestling, Molly. Because no ranchers had complained. Naturally not. These were wet cattle brought across the Rio from Mexico. The losers were Mexican owners. Oh. And besides... Wait a second.  But I'd like to see you prove all this. All right, Bob. Come and join Dave. Bob doesn't believe me. Sure thing, Happy. I'm the man that can prove it, Bob. Dave. But I thought that...   You certainly... Poppy, watch out! You won't get me! Little too slow, Bob. He's all yours, Dave. Take him home and hang him high. That'll mark the end of the legend of Massacre Canyon. So, Happy certainly put an end to that ghost tale, the legend of Massacre Canyon. Black Grass Fever is the title of Happy's next yarn and concerns the story about a gentleman gambler, a swindling banker, and Hoppy almost landing in jail. So, be sure to listen to the next thrilling episode of Hop Along Cassidy. Hop Along Cassidy, starring William Boyd, is transcribed and produced in the West by Walter White Jr. Wet Beef and Dry Bones was written by Gibson Scott Fox.

This is the SF Productions podcast network There were some great shows back then. Wait a minute, look at this. It's called a VC. See, back before all the video was put directly in the computer memory in the comnet, people used to tape shows. Let me see.  Let me hook this up here and let me see what we got. Damn radiation. Back with us to the 60s and 70s, the dwelling place of the lost generation. An era whose heroes, role models, and very lives were molded and formed by weekly installments of favorite television programs. Welcome to the place your parents didn't understand. Welcome to the vast wasteland. Welcome home. Welcome to another exciting episode of Vast Wasteland. I'm your host Mark Schmidbar along with Woodward Neal and Marty Wiley. We're here to talk about 60s and 70s television. And tonight, it's War Comedy! Yes, War Comedy is tonight on Vast Wasteland. And before we run right into all the exciting stuff we've got on, we just want to give you a couple notes. First off, we're now on regular schedules. This is our second show of our regular season here. And our schedule, of course, is Tuesdays. We're on at 6 p.m., Wednesdays at 10 p.m., and Thursdays at 3 p.m. And if for some reason you actually want to write in to Vast Wasteland, I don't know why. But if you would, you want to write in to box 151526, Columbus, Ohio, 4-3-2-1-5, care of Vast Wasteland. All right. And now, on to Woodward with his first point for the evening. Well, by going during the 60s especially, I guess there were probably more war programs in there were in the 70s because we had things like, oh gosh, we had combat, we had the rap patrol, we had Garrison's guerrillas. Remember any of these shows? They were really on. They weren't funny. Well, that's true. Those weren't funny. These were the serious shows. I have the first war comedy as Mikhail's Navy in 1962. Okay. I have to debate that. But this has got to have definitely a asterisk beside it because it technically is not a 60s show. The Gold Silver show, you'll never get rich. Sergeant Bilko. That's right. Yes. Well, we would have seen it in reruns maybe. Right. But I didn't. Okay. Well. So Mikhail's Navy is like the first one. That would be the next one. Which is just like set off a rash of a Seagomer pilot and started in a 64, Hogan's Hero 65, F Troop in 65. Right. We've got, there's one in there. We have No Time for Sgt. This was a, now this was a, technically pretty much a real ripoff by I'm trying to remember which network showed it because it was a play and it was a movie both starring Andy Griffith. And then of course Andy Griffith basically took the whole concept and made it into Gomer Pile. And it's the same basic show, you know, but this show is being shown on another network opposite Andy Griffith on the schedule. It was just basically a Gomer Pile type ripoff because it started the same season as Gomer Pile. And it's, if you've ever seen Gomer Pile, you've seen No Time for Sgt. It's the same show. If you've ever seen Mikhail's Navy, you've seen Sgt. Boko. Why? There's a, every once in a while there was actually a little bit of drama and they actually did something.  They actually did something. And Mikhail's Navy once in a while. Now who got, I remember when I was a kid, I got confused when Mikhail's Navy moved from the islands, from the Pacific. Italy. That's right. I couldn't figure out what all the Japanese people turned into Italians. They just, I don't know, they decided, well, the ratings are starting to drop. Maybe we could try something to get the thing going. I was a little kid. Well, then you wouldn't be able to figure it out. Anyways, we got the, right off, again, the Phil Silver show. You'll Never Get Rich. Sgt. Boko had about eight different titles. I don't know why. Keep changing the title, people who watch it to see a new show. It actually started back in 55 and went on until 59, but I'm sure it was on and reruns. In fact, I saw a reference to it all the way into 63 on the regular schedule back when the network actually showed reruns of old shows in their prime time. This is like before its indication. There's really not again. Beauty and the CBS. Well, that's not that. It's a rerun. Yeah, it's a rerun. From two years ago. So, of course, it started careers of such famous people as, let's see, Joey Ross. Hey, remember him? No, not really. And I'm trying to remember some people, other people on there. There were some big time people on there. Wasn't Fred Gwynne on the Phil Silver show at some point? Yeah, I think so. I don't see him on here, but I'm sure he was. I'm absolutely sure he was. He was like just a one-walk-on kind of deal. But I'm sure, of course, Fred Gwynne later to become Urban Munster. And go on Car 54, too, probably around that time. Well, I found out something interesting with Larry Hovis from Hogan's Heroes. Yes. Before he did Hogan's Heroes, he did the Gormor Paul show as Larry. On Hogan's Heroes, his name was Sergeant Carter. Oh, weird. Well, I thought it was him. That is. So the question is, is Sergeant Carter from Hogan's Heroes and Sergeant Carter from... Incarnation. No, they're related, because technically that was World War II. Sergeant Carter came back after the war, had a kid, and he was actually Sergeant Carter from Hogan's Heroes, not from Gormor Pile. That could technically be, you know? There's a concept. It's a little stretching it, actually a lot stretching it, but... Stretching a lot, yeah. But it could be. Anyways, we're here to probe your mind. We're here to make you think. That's right. It's a not-provoking show. It's not just TV. It's an adventure. It's infotainment. Okay, so that was, You'll Never Get Rich, Hill Silver, Sergeant Milko, whatever. That was McHale's Navy, which we already did a couple of things about. It's him Conway. Yeah, I don't know how that happened, but... He was on McHale's Navy, and then everything he did after that ran 13 weeks until he hit Carol Burnett's show. Yep. And of course, as Captain Binghamton, the famous, the infamous Joe Flynn. Yeah, yeah. Yes, he is. Yeah. Nice ladies. Sergeant's coming to pull it. Was that Sergeant Carter from Gormor Pile? No, Sergeant Carter didn't drown in that swimming pool. Somebody did. Yes, it might have been him, but he... That's the Beach Boys, isn't it? I don't think it was... Natalie Wood. It could be anybody. She was a guest appearance. That's true. Yeah, wait a minute. We're just zipping through these here. We got, McHale's Navy had a lot of people in it, including Gavin McLeod as Joseph Happy Haynes. It's been going on for two years. That's funny. Look at that. This guy never had here. I don't think he ever had here. He was born without air. He is born bald, darling. I don't know if we can... I don't know if we can see this or not, but he... Well, he has... Never had air. Our word for it. He has just the same amount of air as he has today. This was like 30 years ago. Yes, true. It is darker. It's much darker. It's much darker. It's Captain Stupid. It's Captain Stupid. That's Captain Stupid. It's Captain Stupid. Oh, my. So we had... Oh, let's see. But it was just a very strange show due to the fact that they tried for a while to be Sergeant Bilko, and then they tried for a while to be Hogan-Zeros. I don't know if... Before Hogan was even around there. Right, exactly. So we had McHale's Navy, and then we had no time for sergeants, which we already mentioned. And then we went on to Gomer Pyle, USMC. Goalie! Surprise, surprise, surprise. 1964 to 1970. Amazing. Amazing. How many years this show was on the air, considering the incredibly low quality of the show. Yeah. It was amazing. And Duke, his friend Duke, played by Ronnie Schell. Yes, Duke, too. Sergeant Carter. He had girlfriends like Bunny and Poovie. Miss Bunny. New and Poovie. Ah, gosh, what a show. And again, people just left and right. Larry Hovis, as we mentioned, playing Larry. What's his first season? William Christopher, later to become Farmer K. Unmashed, as Private Lester Hummel. Yeah. And of course, also, later to become... Donald Hollinger. Donald Hollinger, thank you. Ted Bessel. Frankie Lombardi. One season. Kind of hard to consider. Not hard to consider Ted Bessel or Hardcore Italian somehow. Frankie Lombardi. Kind of hard to consider. Goomer Pyle is a Hardcore Leatherneck Marine. Oh, well, yeah. Most of these shows you pretty much had to stretch the old... break the old rules of common sense. Okay, well, let's talk about F Troop. Because it does qualify as a war comment. Yes, it certainly does. Oh, yeah, well, it was a war comment. Oh, yeah, well, the civil war was here when quite accidentally played by non-Native American. Don Rickles as an Indian. You got it. Basically, anybody who was hanging around the studio as an Indian, they just... I'm sure a lot of the Native American tribes were probably, like, protesting this show most of the time. It was... It was certainly... Henry Gibson was on. He played the little character Rongo. Rongo? He was the biggest cavalryman. And when he was there, things went worse even worse than they did when Ken Berry was... And that's just all the time. Oh, my. So we had, of course, the famous Larry Storch. Larry Storch later to go on to... Cartoon voices. Cartoon voices. Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker. Right, they both just kind of... What is the Saturday morning type stuff?  The original Ghostbusters. Exactly. The Ghostbusters, that one. The fake gorilla. Well, the guy in the gorilla suit was somebody famous, too, on that show. Yeah, he went on. It was Rick Baker. Because Rick Baker did the best gorillas in TV and went on to movies. And by golly, he's still doing gorillas. And gorilla, he's just Mr. Makeup. We had The biggest. Well, wait a minute, we have one more before we go into the biggest. The wackiest ship in the army. That one ran about six months ago. This was back when all shows never... All shows went 26 weeks, even if it was a really bad show. So, let's see, this was the wackiest ship.  Yeah, here we go. The spring of 42 only months after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, New Zealand, presented to the United States the Kiwi, a 70-year-old twin-masted schooner, obsolete and badly in need of repairs. The ship was staffed with a token crew while the U.S. Navy tried to figure out what to do with it. Okay. But they found out it's really useful because it can't be picked up on a radar. It doesn't make noise so Sonar doesn't pick it up so they can sneak into places. No one notices a schooner coming by, but... No, I didn't notice the ship. What's that schooner going over there? It's the Kiwi. We don't have to worry about that. It couldn't be the U.S. no. Never, ever. When would I go for something that cheap? Amazing, this was on for an entire season. Well, if you think about it, Hogan's Heroes was pretty far-fetched. We're prisoners of war and we're having a great time. What was a great deal? We've got a French chef, we've got comedy, they had a steam bath and the thing I always wondered, now this is why I thought Hogan's Heroes was dumb. Why didn't they just leave? They did all the time. No, but they were under orders. Invaluable spies. Exactly, they were under orders by the Allies. They could do a million times more good there. Well, why? I say I'm dead. It's a great deal. It's like you're there, you get to out with the Germans, you've got this great life underground, if you want to have it. You can just hang out down there and put your Dalsunals on that show. He was nuker. At least not on the show, not on the show. Survey says! You've got Hogan who's doing the Captain Kirk thing. He's always sneaking out and going after the Fraw lines or any other French resistance for anybody. Why would Hogan want to leave? Especially him, because it's like if he went back to Britain, he'd have to compete with all the other British guys for all the babes.  Exactly, he's like a great deal for him. Right, prisoner of war time me up. I don't know, I just thought why don't they just leave and just leave? They never explained this, but you almost have to figure that they engineered getting Clink and Schultz at this camp. You know? It's like we really need I really don't think, again, this was not something that was ever spelled out, but in my opinion it wasn't a situation where they just happened to be there, let's set them up for this. I think from day one it's like you will parachute out here and lose your plane so you will go to this camp and we have got this idiot Clink guy that we've managed to engineer to get into running this camp and you can do all this great stuff there. You know? Okay, well let's go into the biggest ones. What I think is the biggest war comedy. Okay, sure. Oh sure. Because it wasn't just funny, but I don't know I liked it better than any of the others. Well see, you had more of a story here. Well see, to me there are two eras to it there's a good era and the era that's the dumb era and the era of the dumb era appears the instant B.J. shows up right there. The whole plot line is kind of like But if you look at it, Mash kind of followed the way trends were going here. Oh yeah, exactly. It's like when Trapper and Hawkeye were together they were just chasing all the nurses and everything. Here comes after Trapper leaves goes back to his family. I wouldn't take him back. Yes. And that's kind of like a trend that was going on supposedly in this country. That's the idea. I heard about it, but I didn't actually experience it. Yeah, that's the thing. It did follow the mores and the values of the country as it went but it just wasn't funny afterwards. No, it started making a statement. It really got away from Korea and kind of got into issues that were really related to Vietnam. Oh sure. You know, it's like you're supposed to be at comedy. To me, this was the first show that really started the whole, well all in the family in a way but Mash started the idea of a very special episode of something. We're funny, but we got to make a statement. The serial comedy then. We have to be very... The warmity. Yeah, the warmity or the dramedy. The horrible stage of U.S. broadcasting. I just winced at the whole concept. It's like, if I want to watch a drama, I'll watch a drama. If I want to watch a comedy, I want to watch a comedy. It's like life. If it's like life, I don't want to watch it on TV. Exactly. Why watch life if you're going to...  You watch TV to get away from that.  Oh well. Did you notice on Mash when McLean Stephenson's character Henry was killed? McLean Stephenson kind of died too. It's like the next time it's Hillel Larry and they hug up on him and that was that. Yeah, his whole career just pretty much belly flopped after that. They did more than kill him on that show. And G.W. Bailey became a standard on Mash. He was Rizzo. He was the travel voice of carpool sergeant guy who was sleeping under the cars finding a way to get out of things. But now he's popped up on St. Elsewhere movie. He does those police academy movies. He really took off. Okay, I've got one that Wilbert doesn't remember. I don't know if you remember it or not. I think I was the only person to watch this show for all few months at last. It was called Roll Out. I don't remember it as just I didn't watch it much. I remember a reference to it and that's about it. It had Garrett Morris on it. Garrett Morris? Wow. Hilly Hicks. I don't even remember this. Ed Bagley, Julian Jr. was even in it. It was about a motor company in France whose job was to get supplies to the front. They were running the same time as Mash and I think they kind of meant to be like Mash with a mostly black cast but it only like lasted a few months. I've got Stu Gillum, Hilly Hicks, Mel Stewart, Val Vissoglio, Ed Bagley Jr., Garrett Morris, Darrow Agus, Rod Guest, Theodore Wilson, Penny Stanton. Goodness. Set in France during World War II, Roll Out was the story of men in the 50-50th trucking company, the Red Ball Express an army trucking unit that managed to get supplies through to the troops at the front despite any and all problems. Well, I watched it and it was funny. Yeah. But how long was it on? It was on from October to January 1974. October 73 to December 73. Yeah. And then January 74, just a little while. Well, as we know the length of how long the show on was indicated how good the show was. This is true. It was a really good show, too good for television and so it was gone. Well, this was a good show. Okay. Not too good for TV.  Friday's. Yeah, got it. Ed Bagley Jr. went on to say of late night humor type television were both on the same show. Okay.  We're going to have to end with C.P.O. Sharky. Well, let's see the because C.P.O. Sharky, this is basically if you remember this, it was basically just a concept to stick Don Rickles in. And Don Rickles played himself as this guy. He ran around and basically basically just yeah, that's his act. This is mean and nasty. Yeah, that's his act.  That must have been a show with a great leading because I remember watching it. It was another Friday Night show like Chico and the Man or something. That's what I was going to say, Chico and the Man was around there somewhere. Of course, you know, I watched it. Oh, yeah, you couldn't miss Chico and the Man. I love Chico. So you got that pretty much nobody of that time. Nope. Look at the second time. Nobody's career. Nobody's career whatsoever. David Landisburg. David Landisburg. C.P.O. Sharky. David Landisburg. You know him. I think you're thinking. You're thinking the wrong guy. I don't think Steve Landisburg. Yeah, not the same guy. Because that was actually going on the same time. Yeah. I saw that myself. No, it's Steve Landisburg. Maybe he's a brother. Richard Beauchamp. Oh, yeah. Richard Beauchamp. Who can forget? Richard Beauchamp. Richard Beauchamp. Oh, it's a nice name. Sounds like a character or soap opera, but it's a nice name. Okay, then. We go right on to Operation Petticoat. Oh, man. This was 77 to 79. Amazing how long this was on the air. From what I can see here, it looks like they just They had a handsome man on.  Little spurts every once in a while.  Rebuilt the whole show. Went for a couple months. Died again. Originally starring John Aston. Jamie Lee Curtis. Jamie Lee Curtis was in it. From what I saw on here, the reason Jamie Lee Curtis is in it is because the film version of Operation Petticoat starred Kerry Grant and Tony Curtis. Okay. And that's the only reason she's in there. Because then she was like the screamer in the Halloween movie, the first two Halloween movies. She was the screamer in that. She had no other real career or anything. Whoa! Jim Varney's in here. Hey, Varney. You know what I mean? Randolph Mantuz. Joanne Flug. That's true. She was even on M.A.S.H. I think sometimes she was. One of the many nurses. They always had many nurses named Rachel and Nurse Baker. It's like standard nurse names. Now if you don't remember Operation Petticoat, you're not missing anything. You're not missing much. But let me just go through it real quick. The deal is this Navy submarine is they bring it in and it's given to this young commander and it's in horrible condition.  Really painted. However, there's a Jap attack and they got to run out and defend in this pink submarine. And for some reason I'm not really sure. I can't really see the Navy saying hey, this is a good idea. Why don't you just leave it pink? So that's the whole deal. It's a pink submarine going around the country. Around the ocean. And the other deal was they had to fly. They'd be on a submarine other than this was the Fred Silverman era. Because it's a TV show. Right. Then it was just the emergency of the whole thing. They just got called out right away. They stayed on there. They'd be on there in the first place though. Maybe they were taking a tour. The three hour tour. Well, let's see. Do we have any other shows? I really don't think there were any more. If there were, they just lasted that long. In and out. It was just too late. Of course, we had some other people who made some famous guest shots on other shows. We had from Hogan's Heroes Colonel Crittenden also, of course, Dr. Bombay. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! The same guy. Incredible. And just as incompetent on both shows. I think incompetency was his trademark. I play incompetent British guys on shows. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Maybe he was in real life. Well, we don't know. Paul Lynn did F-True. Paul Lynn did F-True. He did a lot of shows. He did a lot of voices for cartoons. Sure. Too many things. He's dead now. It happens to people when they get old. They were all my friends, but they died. Anything. Let's see. What else do we have? Well, darn it. I think we're... How much time do we got on this wonderful... Oh! Just in time. We're just about ready to wrap this wonderful sucker up. Just about ready to wrap this wonderful sucker up. Well, next time two weeks from now if you tune into this exact same time you'll see an exciting show on cartoons. Cartoons. I'm not sure what kind of cartoons. Just cartoons. There were lots of cartoons during the 60s and 70s. We're going to have a big lot of cartoon shows. You can expect that. This will just be the first one of them. This will just be the first one of them. Anyways. That's about all we have. Remember, we're on Tuesdays at six, and then Thursdays at three. We're just all over the place here. You just can't get away from us. For all of us here at Bass Wasteland we'll see you next time!
