Tulsey, SASS#11236 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I stumbled on some trivia about the Lawman tv show that ran for from 1958 to 1962 for 156 30 minute episodes . It starred John Russell as marshal Dan Troup and Peter Brown as deputy Johnny McKay. In the four seasons, Dan Troup was hurt 16 times and shot 13 times. He wounded 22 people and killed 87. Johnny McKay was hurt 22 times and shot three times. He wounded 12 people and killed 31. Crime did not pay on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I wonder what Marshall Dillon's count was? I guess just about every western TV star didn't have a spot anywhere on their arms or shoulders left without scaring as they usually got hit there every third episode or so.

Goody, SASS #26190 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I remember this show, when I was but a wee lad. He was Bloody Bill in Josey Wales. Then he was Stockburn in Pale Rider. I cannot think of a single time I saw him in the years between. looking at IMDb I see he did a lot of TV, and a few movies in the intervening years, but I sure don't remember any of them.

Smoken D Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 As I recall Chuck Connors in The Rifleman killed more people than any other show. 245 in 168 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because he would accidently take a few extra out before he could slow that rifle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Nothing wrong with a little shooting, as long as the right people get shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 As a real life lawman. I made 4 visits to the ER, never was shot, and never shot anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Boots, # 20282 LTG-Regulator Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I remember one year Peter Brown, Bruce Boxleitner, and Alex Cord were in the AA Bullet tent for beer and socializing at EOT in CA. (A keg would show up sometimes on occasions after five when cold range was declared.) Pleasant gentleman to chat with. Fast forward a number of years and I see Alex at Boots Fits' bootshop in Whitesboro and we reminisced a little. I asked Boots about him just the other day and he is still around there. Watched Pale Rider just last night and made comment to Sassy about The Lawman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
