- This western series stars the great Robert Culp and, in the second-season, Ellen Corby (later Grandma Walton) and Norman Leavitt. In this episode, Peter Leeds plays Tenner Smith in his very first semi-regular appearance in the show. This network print includes the commercials, which include the primary sponsor Lucky Strike, but also Mobil Oil and Taryton dual-filter cigarettes. But no matter what Robert Culp says, please don't smoke!
This eighth episode of season-two originally aired on October 24, 1958.
I love all these black and white shows I wish these shows were on tv now!
Great show, I'd never seen this series before. A Pre-I SPY Robert Kulp, cool.
Thank you for including the original commercials in your post; they were a gas.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a spellbinding series. Boy, I'm hooked ❤❤❤❤
Great movie and cast !!!!
I don't remember this series growing up !!!
Most of those actors probably died because of the cigarettes 🚬 !!!!
I always liked this show, it was well written and a no nonsense kind of plot.
Agreed-well written and a very skilled cast.
A great show! I am a Wyatt Earp ma(Hugh O'Brien) but love Robert Culp in this too. And love the commercials in this too!
Wow, hope you have more trackdown coming, i actually had a real flag made just like the one in the intro
Hi. I just posted my other Network print. I have two other 16mms I might post, but they're not network originals. Unfortunately that's all I've collected. th-cam.com/video/wWW4_ZlpRUM/w-d-xo.html
After all these years, it's still a five star show.
And could you not like Tenner?!
LS's...great smokes!
I use to see Robert Culp around when i worked for the city of Beverly Hills in the mid 80's, always said "Hi"!💯 My Mom's brand were Lucky Strikes🤔; lived to be 90, might've lived to 100 if she hadn't smoked!?!🙏💙🕊
I get a kick out of those old cigarette commercials because they are such blatant propaganda. They are really nothing but cancer sticks and the entire nation was lied to by Big Tobacco. Your remark regarding your mother tells me that you are not an apologist for the tobacco industry. Appreciate your honesty. I played with smoking when I was a teenager but knew better than to continue. I'm now 66 and going strong. The idea that smoking is justified as relief from the anxiety of a World War (as one commenter suggested) or Great Depression is nonsense,--there are better solutions . As for the show, I watched 'I Spy' as a kid, but never imagined Culp had earlier made such a convincing lead character in a western.
Smoking was so sophisticated and manly with the honest taste of Lucky Strikes honest! 🤒
Robert Culp great acting and story.
Love this when I was a young boy
These are vintage nastalgia movies, great
classics.
Great series great cast of actors
Great western movies. More please
Love the commercials. Makes it feel right.
Grandma Walton is seen at 8:50, she was such a great actress.
Great to see an old show - with Robert Culp! I don't remember this. (BTW, I wish people today would get off their high horses about smoking. We all now know it's real bad, but they didn't back then (1950s), and these people had dealt with a World War and other horrors and they used cigarettes for comfort, just like alcohol. We don't need more 'smoking sucks' comments. Thank you.)
Amen
Actually, historically, most people knew that smoking was bad and/or quickly found out the hard way that it was. And the cigarette companies back then already knew MOST DEFINITELY that smoking horribly harmed the human body, but they were making billions of dollars in sales; so they didn't really care about their customers and they still don't to this day. Historically, It wasn't until the end of the late 1950's/1960's when the insanely huge number of medical cases of cancer and chronic lung disease/heart failures were heavily overwhelming the United States' hospital and hospice/medical infrastructure. As more and more people started losing loved ones due to smoking and second-hand smoking, the anti-smoking movement began and started picking up steam. But you are quite right, well, to a degree, it was a total societal norm and a huge coping mechanism to smoke and to fully trust corporations' products in this timeframe. All the best, Michael.
@ Yes, but I was talking about how people have to always insert about smoking in movies. They have to virtual signal all the time in comments about smoking. I wish they would just get over it and realize it was the times they lived in. Period. I grew up in the 50s and in the 60s my parents encouraged us kids not to smoke, which I never did.
Michael, I'm so glad that your parents looked out for you. Way cool.
As seen on Fridays at 8pm(et).
The alternate sponsor was Socony Mobil {Mobil gasoline and oil}.
29:14- "'THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW' is next, on the CBS TELEVISION NETWORK."
As much as i loved these shows on reruns in the _0s ,when growing up, the commercials were great!
The mobiloil ad was classic
Culp was great in his "Outer Limits" roles too.
CHEERS from AUSTRALIA
Good print.
I've always thought Tenner Smith was a good addition to the show. Hoby sure had a nice support group in Porter!
Maw, someone sure cut down that fence alright. "Oh, Bang, you card". - Stan Freberg got it right about TV Westerns.
No wonder he lost his hearing. Firing a Thompson without hearing protection will cause you to go deaf.
Culp played a good part in Hanney Caulder.
Why is his badge pinned on the left and so low on his shirt?
Grandmother Walton as well .
Quite a good script other than the fact that "treeing" a town was a Hollywood fiction, but necessary to the plot. Anybody recognize Jeremy Slate in the last commercial?
No. I'll look again.
yep, you nailed it, Paladin.
By threatening the town the trail boss could have been jailed which would further incite the ranch hands, but under threat of death to the trail boss the hands could have been controlled for a time.
Thompson sub and smokes.
Love that political INcorrectness!👍🏻
Right??? 🤣
Never heard of this series and I like Culp, but for some reason it bugs me how he wears his badge so low.
😂Lucky Strike ad “Smoke anywhere for a genuine taste of a cigarette.” I don’t think smoking while filling a gas tank is all that “genuine” unless you want blown to kingdom come.
I Knew an old man when I was a kid 🧒 that BLEW 💥 HIMSELF 🫨 off of a Tractir 👨🌾while
Filling the gas ⛽️ tank while smoking a cigar
Pathetic acting by Culp. Pathetic plot throughout, UNlucky Strike.
@@md88kgHE MADE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOING THESE SHOWS AND HOW MUCH YOU MAKING, SITTING ON YOUR ASS, WATCHING IT! LOSER!
@@md88kg.. he made millions of dollars 💰 doing all these shows and how much are you making watching it!
Humans stroked down by a Lucky Strike.
Typical Rubert Culp , always so casual but wearing his badge below his breast was just not done . 😮
What happened to his slingshot?
The young boy who is supposed to be a trailhead has never grown up.
He wants others to pay with violence for his ignorance and inexperience.
Nobody should ever be stupid enough to gamble all that he or she have and lose all and blame all others.
Western movies always show trail hands drinking up and gambling every rent cent they worked very hard to get.
I don't even smoke and even I want a Lucky Strike!
That was the rifleman set.
I remember when this show was on new.
Me too. Not that long ago.
Acts 2:38
Ah, the good old days. Cigarette commercials on TV. Anybody can smoke but it takes a real man to face up to cancer.
LSMFT.
❤🎉
Opd cigarettes
Cigaweed
lucky strike cigarettes.. dead a few years later with lung cancer...
Any man can stop smoking but it takes a real man to face lung cancer.
😅
Damn cigarette ads cancer sticks
Wimpiest, most impotent Texas Ranger I've ever seen! Bob Culp at his least impressive.
