Tales of the Arizona rangers.

I vaguely remember this show. I was 9 yo. We did not get to watch much TV. We were allowed a couple hours after dinner and Saturday AM. Never allowed to chose the show..

It was Lucy, Art Linkletter, Arthur Godfrey, Pro wrestling, baseball when available.

Thanks for the memories.. :D :munchin :D :munchin

Though I was about JJ's age at the time, I remember it - possibly more from re-runs. When I found we were moving to Arizona in '63, I thought I might be able to be one of the "26 Men". It had a cool theme song!

<link is broken, so I couldn't see the information>

There is still an "Arizona Rangers" group - a civilian "auxillary" with several "companies" around the state. They help out at events, etc.

I'd love to get a DVD of the show to add to my small collection of "vintage" TV - "Sea Hunt" and Branded" (All but one man died, there at Bitter Creek...)!

I was a Texas John Slaughter fan myself. ;)

Richard's $.02 :munchin

Well, old John Slaughter "made men do what they ought-er, cuz if they didn't, they died!" :D IIRC, he spent his later years in S. Arizona.

Below the "26 Men" dvd in your link is another fav of mine "back in the day" - "Sgt. Preston of the Yukon"!

"On, King!"
