You can pretty much tune in to any station, any time, any day that's showing an old western, whether it's a TV show episode or a movie, and you'll find John Dehner (Colonel Harvey) playing a bad guy. Rarely have I seen him play a good guy. Over the long holiday I stopped counting his appearances after seeing him in about a dozen shows. My favorite is from an episode on Maverick. He and his cohorts want to rob the town's bank, but Maverick gets wind of it and empties the vault just before he breaks in and finds nothing. He informs the bank manager who finds the vault full (Maverick never steals any of the money, he's just playing havoc with the bank robbers). This scene plays out several times until Dehner truly believes he's losing his mind. His facial expressions are priceless. It's a hilarious episode. BTW - Maverick is returning to TV on Sat. mornings at 10am so watch for the crazy elixir peddling man and other assorted TAGS characters, and one Clint Eastwood - who calls him Mav- er-ack. Harriet, the chicken thief, hiding out in Kelsey's Woods, USA ....Johnny Paul Jason says chewing tar is good for the teeth......That's an old wives tale....Johnny Paul ain't married..... _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.wbmutbb.com/
