T.V. : Sugarfoot

Not your usual western tv show.
Sugarfoot is the title of a TV western that aired from 1957 to 1961. The series featured Will Hutchins as fledgling frontier lawyer Tom Brewster and Jack Elam as sidekick Toothy Thompson. Brewster was a correspondence-school graduate whose apparent lack of cowboy skills earned him the peculiar nickname "Sugarfoot". - wiki

I had never heard of this till last year when I found a comic version - after a couple episodes of the TV show I was hooked by this laidback unique western. A nice change of pace.

I got to work with Will Hutchins a couple years back in two onstage old time radio re-creations. Very nice man! He played a gunsel to my mob boss in one show and I played his evil sidekick in another! He appeared in two movies with Elvis and said Elvis like him because he didn't try to steal scenes! If you've ever seen those movies, Will didn't NEED to try. He effortlessly stole nearly every scene the two shared, especially in CLAMBAKE!

Ill have to check out Clambake again (its been years) - cool to hear hes as nice in person as he seemed on the tv show. (I had a similar expierence as a extra a couple years back with Bruce Campbell from Evil Dead - one hell of a guy)

This is a series I fondly remember from when it was originally broadcast.

Another TV show from this same time peroid, I would enjoy seeing again, is the "Alaskans," with a young Roger Moore. There was an episode about a snow creature that has always stucks in my mind.

Old piles of good sh... stuff
