When you watched TV as a kid did you think everything about Roy Roger and Dale Evens was real?

Did you think that other programs were real, like Sky King, or Gene Autry? I remember thinking when we moved to California from Florida that I was going to have my own horse and live on a ranch. I even had a named picked out for my horse. I would get to wear boots and a hat and clothes just like Dale Evens and ride my horse to school. I just knew the towns were like wild west and I would have to be careful of the bad guys. I was so disappointed to find California was just like Florida.

Everything was real when I was watching those shows...Sky King made me want to be a pilot. Roy Rogers made me want to get a horse, and I still want a Jeep.


Now that I'm an adult, I want to see the deleted scenes where Dale Evans hauls Roy off his horse and into the boudoir...
Reply:They were a bit before my time though not far. I never did take television to serious. I remember once telling my mother during a horror movie that there wasn't anything to be afraid of that it was only paper. I have always been a huge fan of Hollywood though.
Reply:Awe . .How cute . .I think so, I probably would have been disappointed as well. As Dorthy put it . .it's the lesson learned "There's no place like home"
Reply:I never watch this bagaça. I like Sundão of the Faustão.





Ok?
Reply:Sure did
Reply:We lived in Maryland, and I figured that all the wide open spaces on T.V. were just someone's big back yard or Hollywood props. I thought the whole world was one big city, full of big gray buildings.





When the Air Force transferred Dad to Texas, I was greatly relieved to find out that the wide open spaces and countryside were more plentiful than the citiscapes.





We moved to a huge city in Texas, and I was amazed at how big and blue the sky was. It's still not that far a drive to get to the wide open spaces... but time is not always on my side, so here I am, in my 40's, in a big, big city in Texas.





**EDIT**


I do remember Dale Evans Rogers... I even sat behind her, in the 70's, on Branniff airplane, once..
Reply:No. Thought they were all staged for amusement value.
Reply:cant help u
Reply:When I was a kid..it was just another show..but now that I am older I think about them as real people..Also, do you think Clint Black looks like Roy when he was younger? Most people I know don't even remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
