Former cowboy star Sunset Carson was hired to host a PBS series entitled Six-Gun Heroes. The hour-long show would feature a B-western with wraparound segments by Carson, who would talk about the film and its stars. The series also had a memorable theme song, “Ride Off In the Sunset”, by Bill Anderson. (Some purists would of course take the show to task for editing down the films to fit into its one-hour time slot.) As far as we know, there were three seasons of Six-Gun Heroes produced for syndication, which played on PBS affiliates through the 1980s.
Below is the viewers’ guide for the first season that subscribers would have received. Enjoy! (Click on any image to see them in a lightbox display, and use your arrow keys to navigate back and forth.)
Greg Woods
Greg Woods has been a film enthusiast since his teens, and began his writing "career" at the same time- prolific in capsule reviews of everything he had watched, first on index cards, then those hardcover dollar store black journals, then an old Mac IIsi. He founded The Eclectic Screening Room in 2001, as a portal to share his film love with the world, and find some like-minded enthusiasts along the way. In addition to having worked in the film industry for over two decades, he has been a co-programmer of films at Trash Palace, and a programmer/co-founder of the Toronto Film Noir Syndicate. He has also written for Broken Pencil, CU-Confidential, Micro-Film, and is currently working on his first novel. His secret desire is for someone to interview him for a podcast or a DVD extra.
