What a great post!
I grew up watching Roy Rogers and all the other western TV shows of that era, but I never saw that episode. Women fighting in the movies and on TV was a rarity in those days, but it seems if there was going to be a catfight back then, it was most likely in a western. And those fights were catfights....rolling over and over, pulling hair, legs tangled up, not the martial arts kicks and punches seen today.
One thing that always fascinated me about those shows, especially Roy and Dale's show, was the old western setting, with guns and horses, yet the era was in the 40's and 50's. Remember Pat' Brady's jeep, Nellybelle? Those shows were excellent....much better than most of the garbage on today, in my opinion. Too bad there weren't more catfights in those old shows.
