Pat, this sounds familiar.. I remember in the early 60's sunday night church services were scheduled around Bonanza.. we had to be out in time for the ones who drove in from town, could get home and in there easy chairs bu 8:00 lol Pat Elmore <[email protected]> wrote:People in the small towns in southeast Missouri also went to town on Saturday and stayed for hours just visiting with friends; buying necessities for the next week, etc. This stopped when the TV and Gun Smoke started. We had an emergency--but the hospital was more than 1 hour away. Dr. told us to go to his office and he would be there as soon as Gun Smoke was over.!
