TV Discussion

This is a general discussion of TV, allowing a broader range of observations, I feel. I was looking for a place to mention that I have been noticing writers of old TV episodes, of late. Gene Roddenberry, for instance wrote for a variety of shows. This morning, an episode of Have Gun Will Travel was his. It tells the story of a man (played by Parley Baer, who portrayed Chester Goode on the radio Gunsmoke), a man who in India became cursed and feared he was to be killed by a tiger. He hired Palladin, who did not like him and charged a double fee. Any time the cards were shuffled and dealt, he always picked out the tiger. Turns out, a circus lost a tiger. It was an ancient animal who likely had no teeth. But the tiger presence so frightened the man he ran over a cliff to his death.
