And when my hormonally manic, schoolboy imagination wasn't panting over Sugarfoot, I was merrily lusting after Ty Hardin, who played the title role in the 1950s/60s Warner Bros television western "Bronco," playing Bronco Layne. Whereas I was probably in love with Will Hutchins' Sugarfoot, I was most definitely in lust with Ty Hardin's Bronco. What a dream boat! Gasp!

Well, if it's any consolation, Sue, I'm gay and I have never found Clint Walker (Cheyanne) attractive. Don't know why that's the case. He was just not my glass of tea. ::)
Sugarfoot and Bronco were my favourites. Oh and I also liked the "The Rifleman," not because of the rifleman father, but because of his quiet, introspective son, who was always so sad because he was mourning his deceased mother. I was about the same age as the son in "The Rifleman," when it aired in Australia in the early 60s, and I related to him on an emotional, as opposed to erotic, level. I was also a very shy, introspective child.
I was also fond of the handsome young actor who played the part of trailherd cook (I think?), Rowdy Yates (sp?) in "Rawhide" (Wow, I can still hear that fabulous theme song in my head). What was his name? Oh yes, Clint Eastwood. ;) He was so young and handsome back then. :)
