[@saunders49]

Oh my God! I haven't seen the opening in 50 years! Scott Forbes I believe played Bowie. It was a better time back then...and it's not just because I'm getting old.

[@saunders49]

God bless you, my friend. We are from a different but better generation! I also truly miss those days!

[@OfficialRayLiotta]

This is ALWAYS in my head. ._.

[@piecatlady4289]

Cool to hear these old TV themes online. I learned the words to this one and others - like Have Gun Will Travel, Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson themes - when they were broadcast, Forgot that this show, like Wyatt's, featured an oohing male chorus behind the action. Thanks to COZI channel, I can watch these old Westerns like I did at age six.

[@laterdudesaint]

i wish he'd just knock on the damn door..

[@bmadejczyk]

Woah, what a stud muffin.

[@rockercater]

wow that was old i watched that with my grampa. :)

@mumbleora Actually I have done some reading on the Alamo and it's defenders such as James Donovan's 'The Blood of Heroes' and Jack Jackson's 'The Alamo: An Epic Told From Both Sides' among other sources, and the general consensus is that there were several reasons for the defense of the Alamo, ranging from landownership to the status of immigrant settlers and the fact that Santa Anna threw out the 1824 constitution and that most Tejanos had no love for 'El Supremo' due to such things as the massacre of his own people at Zachatecas which was one reason for the large number of Tejano defenders of the Alamo such as Juan Seguin and Mexico under Santa Anna had it's own system of indentured servitude which wasn't all that far removed from slavery. In short slavery was just one factor in the Texas revolution, and not a major one as it was in the Civil War later on.

[@69inetails]

i never seen this show :( looks good though^^

[@SpookyTanukiGaming]

I don't know who Jim Bowie was but he must have been big and long and sharp

[@Lockbar]

He walks in knife in hand, looking for the neighbor lady.

[@68blues]

They should take that knife away from him, he's going to have somebodys eye out....irresponsible Jim.

[@J.D.1998]

This was back when commercials really ment something

[@GDubya-oy7eg]

He also traveled to Texas with the intention of becoming a slave trader.

[@mumbleora]

There are three kinds of education. One you learn in school which is a good primer, one you give yourself throw self learning and associations, one the education of years of living. From those three you can weed out whats's true, and what's not.

[@Juliaflo]

You guessed it. Who knew she would reach the point where everybody 'really, really liked her'?

[@ColonelCrane]

seriously? He was famous for the Bowie Knife, although his brother invented the Bowie Knife, he took the credit. He was a Colonel in the Texas Revolution and died inside the Alamo with Davy Crockett.

[@Juliaflo]

@weenyone I second, third, fourth, and fifth that. Have a Happy Holiday.

[@ironman5454]

@442462 LOL !!! That was GREAT LOL !!!

[@ironman5454]

@shanghaibenny2 "I see" said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and 'saw'.

[@gerrydooley951]

couldn't he just knock?

[@68blues]

Will somebody tell me why he chucked the knife at the door before he went in.

[@telesamgram]

as not to startle anyone inside

[@fjbfjb2618]

Because FU, that’s why.

[@frankthecoach]

hubba hubba

[@vegetasolo1221]

This plays when Chuck Norris is getting ready for breakfast

[@Juliaflo]

A pop quiz -- who is Jock Mahoney's celebrated step-daughter?

[@gerrydooley951]

bad question

[@dedalto]

Remember the Indian sidekick played by Rex Brand, I think that was his name.

[@gerrydooley951]

X Brands

[@dlsofsetx]

I have heard claims Bowie may have died a natural death before the Alamo fell.He was very ill & relinquished command to Travis.

[@abdujassim1147]

2014

[@Juliaflo]

I believe you are looking for 'X Brands'. (Don't agree with me, I am not perfect).

[@saunders49]

No, No No,,,Sally Fields is the step daughter of the late great actor-stuntman Jocko Mahoney. He played Yancy Derringer.

[@mumbleora]

@hammerogod ..Isn't that what I said???

[@EpicBladeTime]

Was this show any good??

[@ranjeetbains2577]

EpicBladeTime Yeah.

[@cha5]

@mumbleora Also Tejas was in a volatile state the time of the Texas revolution due to such things as two govenors (Johnson & Smith) in a state of war with each claiming to be the govenor with Smith threatening to shoot anyone who tried to take the state seal off of his person & the Matamoros expedition among other things. The whole situation was a powder keg waiting to explode at the time and Santa Anna lit the fuse. By the way when you praise Santa Anna for his slaughtering of the Alamo defenders keep in mind that he waisted the lives of his men when he ignored an offer by Travis to surrender if he and his men were spared as Cos and his men were, and if this wanna be pissant "Napolean of the West" had waited for 18 pounder cannons to arrive he could have blasted holes in the main wall of the Alamo instead of wasting the lives of his men trying to scale the Alamo walls. 'El Supremo' wasn't interested in a bloodless victory at this point just in how much of a reputation he could rack up for himself in his "glorious victory". :-P

[@taffysaur]

You seem very knowledgeable about the Alamo. Are you Texan? (Not tht you have to be to have read a lot, just curious).

[@cha5]

Mychael Darklighter Yes I am actually born and bred, I've just read up a fair amount on it although I wouldn't call myself an expert or anything.

[@taffysaur]

I don't blame you, it's such a rich history you guys have.

[@mumbleora]

What did I say that is false? Please inform me old wise one.

[@mumbleora]

Why shouldn't I be??

[@63gstone]

A remake today: Jim Bowie Jim Bowie he was sensitive sensitive man!

[@mumbleora]

The propped up all these bad guys, jesse james, bat masterson,wyatt earp. Now there were real heros, don't misunderstand me, but not these people who they sing about in DEEP BASS VOICES. (wow...Gutted from butt to breastbone). Kind of like they do a 3 piece chicken at KFC.

[@toobyu2859]

I always wondered why they pronounced his name "boo- eee" and not "bow-ee". It was a bow-ee knife, not a "boo- ee" knife.

[@williamchadwick7948]

I believe the family pronounced the name "boo-wee" but for some reason the knife became "boh-wee."

[@crusader2603]

I always called the knife boo-ee as well as his name, depends on where your from I guess.

[@mumbleora]

You never answered my question. What did I say that " have no clue what the hell ur talkin about ". Don't just run your mouth unless you know what YOU'RE talking about.

[@patrickbranch9001]

His ballad is better

[@mumbleora]

I really wish you people would start reading more instead of going with these fables about people you grew up just hearing about.

[@mumbleora]

Both were very evil people in my opinion. if you read their true histories.

[@crow672008]

People bring up the slavery issue. But what about the indians teaching them to converted to another religion. The way the Alamo was built you couldn't defend it. Sam Houston told to them to leave the Alamo. But i can't respect anybody who own slaves. Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone or any body else who own slaves.

[@cha5]

The Alamo most certainly could have been defended, Travis was counting on reinforcements remember? There just weren't enough men to defend it being that they were outnumbered by Santa Anna's forces, Even so Davy Crocket and his Tennessee forces were able to defend the weakest part of The Alamo until the very end. You can't respect anyone who owns slaves? Then how about the system of servitude that Mexico had which was little better than slavery? as for Houston's orders to abandon The Alamo Bowie felt that it would be a waste to abandon it and he was also concerned about what El Supremo's (Santa Anna) reaction would be in regards to San Antonio, he had friends and family there and was rather fond of the place. Houston came to agree with him that it would be a waste to abandon it. as to the slavery issue, slaves constituted about 10% of the population in Tejas at the time, It was not the sole factor of the Texas revolution despite what some revisionist historians choose to believe. "What about the indians?" What about them? The events of the Alamo happened some couple of hundred years after they started mission settlements and like it or not the missions were responsible for the eventual structure of population settlements such as San Antonio de Bexar.

[@harkrum]

+Allen Woodall Read "Texas" by James A. Michener...lots of interesting facts, and of course a lot of fiction, but it's all explained...

[@Wokonwater]

Jim Jewie Jim Jewie... too cheap to buy a gun.

[@jongreek]

good gimmick and then the song and treatment ruins it. awful. He should be gutting bad guys like fish with a kick ass rock tune behind him. he looks like too much of a pretty boy. the real Jim Bowie would've kicked his ass.

[@68blues]

Another thing, look at the flowers surrounding the door it's all pretty. That's no desperadoes door, that's his freakin' grandmas house. I'll bet he steals money off her as well....thieving vandal.
