Texas Ranch Hands--On PBS now!
newyearsday:
Hey Tremblayans,
I'd been meaning to show you guys a picture that I took of a busstop billboard sign near where I work advertising a new reality show on PBS called Texas Ranch Hands (thanks for the correction, Victoria). It's about a group of 8 or 10 guys a few women who are "sent back" 1867's Texas to live and work as cowboys on a real ranch and see if they can hack it.
It's on now. It's kind of funny to see how they are fighting and bickering with 2006 style language and values, but trying to do the job of being a cowboy in the 1800's. They made the distinction that "you guys aren't cowboys, you're ranch hands, and you work for me."
I wonder if the success of Brokeback had anything to do with this show being on now? I'd love to see some kind of Jack/Ennis-esque "thing" develop, but I won't hold my breath!
Kinda cool to see the bandanas, lassos, horses, 'staches, etc--OMG somebody's playing a harmonica as I write this!!
Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my Darrrling Clementine.....
They just said that cowboys sing, and play the harmonica, and hum to keep the cows calm, and that sometimes a cowboy wouldn't be hired if he couldn't sing!
A neat new fact....
Okay, take it away Jack!
Here's the pic of the billboard by the way (note: this replaced the long standing ad before it that was of a flower arrangement in a margarita glass, which said "Happy Hour with a Twist!" which always brought a smile to my face :) )

This show was on Monday night on PBS, at least in Maui it was. It's called Texas Ranch House and it like all those other reality shows PBS has been doing, you know the 1890's house and the Pilgrim VIllage and the Frontier House, etc. Interesting stuff.

Are you in Maui, Victoria? I hope you're on a much deserved vacation!
Jenny - I've been hearing ads about this. Cool post. I don't have cable, but if my parents ever watch it when I'm up in Lightnin' Flat (not - I love my folks and I love where they live), I will surely check it out. Enjoyed your report. Sure would be nice if a J/E thang grabbed hold of two a those guys. Are there any cute ones? Hunh?
