A Blast From The Past

A great series back in the day. I watched it on Sunday afternoons (I think?) when I would otherwise have been intolerably bored. Smith & Jones gave me 30 minutes of humorous escapism and left me with a smile on my face. I remember the shock of Pete Duel's untimely death only too well. It was like losing a good friend. The memory of 'Alias Smith & Jones' washes over me like the first sunny day of springtime. I wonder if it would stand up if I actually watched it again. Nostalgia... it ain't what it used to be.
