Grizzly Adams

[pab1]

I stumbled across this Grizzly Adams box set recently. I used to enjoy this show when I was a kid in the '70s. I just started watching it and I'm only a few episodes in. Yes, its a little goofy, but it brings back a lot of memories.

This show along with others (like the mini-series Centennial) helped build my interest in mountain men and muzzleloaders when I was young.

Denver Pyle was a great addition to the show.

Who can forget the theme song by Thom Pace?

Sadly, there are no shows like that on TV anymore.

I grew up watching that show also.

Must be somthing new, I just done a quick google search and found that there are tons of them. About 10 years ago there was nothing but counterfeit copies on fleabay.

I picked up the box set a couple years ago. It is a bit cheesier now than it was in the seventies but I still like it. Looks like a great life to me.

Anybody know about the rifle over his shoulder in the third picture? There is one exactly like it hanging over the door in the back room of the local hardware store here in town. Been meaning to ask them about it.

I wasn't what you'd call a regular watcher. I've seen bits and pieces.Did they use their firearms fairly regularly and on who or what?

About all they ate was trout and pancakes. I don't recall Adams ever shooting anything or anyone.

I used to really like that show, too.

In 1978, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Saturday evening, in front of that tv that I actually had to walk up to and put my hand on a dial to change the channel, being careful not to disturb the "rabbit ears" on top. That and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom.

Interesting what ever it is, its left handed and the other pic shows a right handed rifle. I will S.W.A.G its a knock off of a C.V.A. type hawken.

If I'm not mistaken the one hanging at the hardware store is left handed. Next time I'm there I will take a picture of it. Then probably try to talk them out of it even though I'm not left handed...

I think the whole series is available on YouTube. I started to watch the whole run but got side tracked

 

[TDM]

It was a great series from a time with values that are long gone. Thankfully we can still watch the old shows and old movies. If not, I wouldn’t watch anything.

Definitely loved the show. Yes, this and "Centennial", were the influences that got me started on my Mountain Man journey. I Live Well..Just need a huge bear..lol

Boy, that takes me back a ways!

Grizzly Adams was a good watch. Liked Denver Pyle and Dan Haggerty. The bear, 'Ben wasn't half bad either. Had a friend that watched too. Decided to follow the 'mountain man' life. Me, I enjoyed my creature comforts, like air conditioning and clean running water too much to go full on mountain man.

That is one show I enjoyed every week. Sadly he passed away in 2016.

Isn't nostalgia wonderful Especially when you are old enough to appreciate it.
