Tex


Rocky, Tex Tucker and Pedro

In the late 1950's I was on my belly under the table looking at this hypnotizing series [silly me]. You just have to see to believe. In the first episode Tex Tucker gets his magical self-shooting pistols from a Big Chief as a thank-you for taking care of a little indian boy. Tex is the good-guy, Pedro and Fernando are the the bad-guys [just in case you missed].

Among all puppet series, this was one of the first and one of the best; with the stupid-simple-clear-cut characters, the music, the suspense, the action and all. Notice the crazy English accent of 'Rocky' - Tex's horse. Very clever made. The credits at the end are a little joy on their own.

The first few episodes from the tube;
Four Feather Falls: Episode 1 - How It Began - Part 1
Four Feather Falls: Episode 1 - How It Began - Part 2
Four Feather Falls: Episode 2 - Trouble at Yellow Gulch - Part 1
Four Feather Falls: Episode 2 - Trouble at Yellow Gulch - Part 2
Four Feather Falls: Episode 3 - Frame Up - Part 1
Four Feather Falls: Episode 3 - Frame Up - Part 2
Four Feather Falls: Episode 4 - Pedro Has a Plan - Part 1
Four Feather Falls: Episode 4 - Pedro Has a Plan - Part 2
Four Feather Falls: Episode 5 - Sherrif For A Day - Part 1
Four Feather Falls: Episode 5 - Sherrif For A Day - Part 2

I'm sure you can find some other episodes.

Enjoy
