Flint McCullough and Major Adams helped make Sunday evening more bearable for a kid that hated going to school on Monday morning.

One of my favorite actors. Yesterday's episode was where Flint, The Major, Wooster and Hawks take a stagecoach that ends up being hijacked by mexican revolutionaries but, because the woman was an old flame of Flint's they managed to make it to St Loius on time thus saving Cly Gallagher's stage line. Robert Fuller wasn't a bad scout, yet another unappreciated actor. In fact, this series had quite a few outstanding actors. I watch it every day on MeTv.

I don't think he ever got the respect, or perhaps the opportunities, or the chances, to make more films, in a starring role. 

 

I especially enjoyed his role in the t.v. movie: "The Dangerous Days of Kiowa Jones", incidentally, the first western movie made specifically for television. 

 

Since 2016, he has resumed his role as a scout, and he has been scouting on down the trail ahead of us. We will catch up to you, Robert (or should I say "Flint"), at some point. Until we meet again, at end of trail...rest in peace.

 

W.K.
