Thanks for this list. Much to my surprise, I find that I know 9 of these titles. Some of them were shown on this side of the pond. I've actually seen every episode of Leave it to Beaver (not because it was ever shown here, but I once got a DVD box set). Jerry Mathers was quite attractive in the later seasons. I've seen every episode of The Rifleman as well, not to mention the first two seasons of Laramie, which starred Johnny Crawford's brother Robert (whom I find even more attractive than Johnny). Actually, the very first episode of Laramie ("Stage Stop") is nothing but a completely unadulterated tale of man-boy romance. Andy even suggests to Jess that they elope. One can actually identify the precise moment that Andy falls in love with Jess, at about 9 minutes 41 seconds, when Jess shows his skill in taming a horse. Thanks for this list. Lots of good stuff there to research. |
