    Showing on TV

    It is showing on GETTV as I am writing this. I enjoy the show. Vint Bonner is always on the move. He was the only star who was on every week. One week he is a shotgun guard the next he gets in the middle of a range war. You never know where he will show up or what his job will be. I don't know how he was able to afford to travel around all the time. I guess it was easier to do in the old west.
