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!

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...)!
