Ryan, Tell the good professor he is full of it. Read that URL you sent along. Cassidy was a silent movie actor and the TV shows were not even "B" class westerns... more like "C" class. They were 1/2 hour morality plays with terrible production values and plots. The "Lone Ranger" was much higher quality but still a kids show. You didn't have adult viewers of a weekly TV western until "Gun Smoke". I still like "Dragnet" but others had suggestions too!
