@BBUKJohn Wayne Introducing Gunsmoke
The story goes that Wayne turned down Gunsmoke and recommended Arness. Arness was signed to Wayne's company, Batjac I believe, and had done a few movies together.
Bonus points to anyone who can name what movie the name Batjac came from that Wayne starred in.
It was then when he knew he effed up.No "The Lone Ranger" ? Off topic, but I remember watching an episode of "Good Times" and Florida Evans make a little swipe at "Little House on the Prairie" saying something like "The kids get sick, the mule dies, they lose the ranch, and then it gets sad", I thought that was funny. The "goodnight John Boy, good night Elizabeth, good night daddy" was too corny to me, hated that show.
Yes, but an Anglo-Saxon (Celtic?) playing a Chinese person is kind of weird.Does Kung Fu count? Loved that show.
