I gotta go with Louisiana. Senator Cornpone Kennedy. Senator “I approve of Kennedy Jr” Doctor Hopalong Hipocratic Cassidy, Moses Mike Porn Buddy Johnson, “Rabid Coon” Congresscritter Higgins just for starters. Add in Steve “Just Shoot Me” Scalise and it’s a losing combination.

Neighborhood rabbits use shoveled sidewalks as their own hopalong highway.
They hop among us
If you’re an early dog-walker after overnight snow, you might see undeniable proof that neighborhood rabbits use shoveled sidewalks as their own hopalong highway.

The Hopalong Cassidy series is off to great start. Such a fun 60 minute oater. William Boyd as Hoppy is terrific.

A ★★★★ review of Hop-a-long Cassidy (1935)
Just found this first entry in the massive Hopalong Cassidy series to be insanely fun B-Western. William Boyd is so good as Hopalong Cassidy, from being the jovial Hoppy, to the serious Bill Cassidy. ...

Whenever fellow humans bring up Superhero Fatigue just remember that your grandparents watched 66 Hopalong Cassidy films, not to mention westerns in general.

One of the advantages of being a fucking hopalong twat with shitted-up bones is that sometimes I have to stay at home instead of gallavanting. In the right circumstances this means I can be quite productive.
The right circumstances, of course, are hard to create consistently

Finally getting around to checking out @bobchipman.bsky.social's video on Hopalong Cassidy and the American Western, and my God it's good to get back to his long-form video essay content. If you're remotely interested in the history of Westerns, check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Kc...

Oi, Bob, I watched your western video on Hopalong Cassidy and I have to thank you! It gave me the good vibes, and also educated me on something I knew zero about. I know those are not the most clickable popular videos, but they're the most meaningful.

Boyd had mortgaged himself to the hilt to the tune of $350k to secure all the necessary rights
In 1950 $70 million of Hopalong Cassidy products were manufactured
The series spawned the western fad of the 1950s
If curious the series is on YouTube including tonight’s episode
But “colourised” 🤢

The films are repeated in a tv serial edit
Boyd pulls together a crew
In June 1949 Boyd beats “The Lone Ranger” (itself commissioned as a reaction to the Hopalong film success) to air
In it’s first year alone Boyd earns $800,000
Almost $11m to you and me

People go mad for it
NBC rent Boyd’s entire library
Variety notes in 1950 that the cost of a single showing of a western in Los Angeles "ranges from $80 to $250 Hopalong Cassidy films are the exception, bringing $1,000 per showing"
NBC are desperate for a tv series

An interesting story here
Hollywood believed the “Hopalong” film series was on its last legs ..
William Boyd sold everything he had to buy up all the rights - for film, tv, the lot
Including the physical film prints
He persuades NBC in Los Angeles to broadcast one film as a trial, for $200
