a TV childhood

   TV is so violent and gory these days. When I was a child, we watched more wholesome fare. There was a western nearly every night, with cowboys out in the fresh air ( this was before the movies felt a need to impress upon us with everything but smell-o-rama that cowboys didn't bathe regularly--the "bad guys" just needed a shave ). The cowboys came to town and visited the saloon, where the good guys were always polite to the dance-hall girls, and never, ever cheated at poker. The good guys were always good shots, and won the weekly gun fight every time.
