Hats on TV

The Abbott & Costello Show (1952-57)

This hat & the part of Agustus McCrae as played by Robert Duval were so popular that the name of the hat crease changed & it became known as the Gus.

They wanted him to wear a Sombrero, but he had other ideas and helped design this hat.

I'm certain the hats Reeves wore in Adventures of Superman were a strong influence for me. I remember watching reruns of the show when I was young, and the hats' straight-sided crowns and brims snapped way down are just how I like 'em.

Amen.

James Butler Hickok as played by Keith Carradine in HBO's Deadwood. David Milch, writer, creator & producer of the series has said that if he had it to do all over again he would write episodes with stories involving Hickok told in flashback after Hickok's untimely death, since Carradine ( & Hickok) meant so much to the series & the real story of Deadwood.

Jack, I read today that HBO is looking at making a "Deadwood" movie. Heard any such thing?

BB, what I have heard is that HBO was considering a sequel centered around Seth Bullock. Bullock was quite the frontiersman, one of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, Roosevelt's personal friend, & served as state senator. By centering a sequel or even a prequel around Seth Bullock they could use an actor other than Timothy Olyphant, assuming Olyphant would not be interested.

I've also heard that the only way there will be another Saprano episode would be in the way of a prequel of Tony Saprano & characters prior to being "made men".

Oh, I am hoping for a Deadwood movie...I was late to the dance and just finished watching the series....such great writing.

Same here, as I was just able to catch up. The writing reminds me of complex poetry.

We binge-watched "Deadwood" recently. Loved it and was left wanting more -- the variety of hats was a cherry on top of a great vulgar, entertaining sundae. I hope a movie is in the offing. (I can't get my dogs to stop cursing though...)

I have the 3 season box set.

If a series about Seth Bullock comes about it's success will depend largely on the writers of course. But there should be plenty of material upon which to base a series. Bullock was in & out of Deadwood during his lifetime. He ultimately died there & is buried in the same cemetery as Hickok & Jane Canary. I've been to Deadwood every time I've made the trip to the Sturges rally thru the yrs. Except for the cemetery it's just another casino town today.

When you go to the cemetery you know from history that they are really buried there & it's not just another "Boot Hill" tourist trap.

Yes, my wife stated it was American Shakespeare. She loved it too! Even grew a little fond of Swerengen.

Deadwood was a nice tv show. 3 season was not released here but I saw it.

They are. I heard this from a reliable source.

Same experience in the cemetery in Tombstone,AZ.

The many hats of Cullen Bohannon, the main character in Hell On Wheels:

For various story-related reasons, Cullen has gone through six hats in 4.5 seasons. Hats 3 and 4 are supposed to be the same hat that Cullen has re-shaped to his liking, but the crown on hat #4 has less taper and the brim binding is different from hat #3. Hats 5 and 6 are supposed to be different hats, but they could be the same hat that has been modified by the wardrobe department. Not pictured is a "Mormon" hat that was worn in three or four episodes, but it was essentially a new version of hats 5 and 6 with a simple black ribbon.

An early favorite, "Cheyenne." I even have a dog named Bodie.

I currently have something like 58 episodes saved on my DVR. Between that and Laramie, I can't keep up.

Beautiful dog!
