Re: Hopalong Cassidy

Tim:
The first significant Western to appear on network television was The Hopalong Cassidy Show, which began in 1949. It starred movie-cowboy legend William Boyd as Hopalong, a character he had played in sixty-six movies between 1935 and 1948.

The 1949-1951 Hopalong Cassidy series was so popular that Boyd filmed 52 new half-hour episodes for the 1952-1954 seasons.

Those Saturday afternoon cowboy matinees we watched for about 25 cents; sometimes a 'double feature' show--with the Newsreel, of course.

Re: Hopalong Cassidy

Yes he sure was a Popular cowboy star with his sidekick Gabby Hays. And yes his real name was William Boyd and the white horse was Topper. Early 50's from my failing memory.

My bedroom from 3rd to sixth grade was papered with Hopalong Cassidy wallpaper. It was him on his horse rearing up and swinging a rope over his head that spelled his name. I was the coolest kid on the block! M :D nty

Kind of like this? Framed panels can fetch around $100-150 now.

Exactly like that, except I thought the horse was rearing. Probably not, that was a couple of years ago! My memory is as long as .....well you know. ;) Monty
