....Greetings from Chicago, the cradle of MEtv ...<br /><br /> ... which airs <i>The Rogues</i> every late Saturday/early Sunday at 3am (Central Time).<br />My DVR is slowly filling up with the episodes, which I believe MEtv is running in the original broadcast order. I am prepared to keep them stored for as long as there's no DVD set available.<br />(MEtv carries a lot of Four Star shows, mainly <i>The Rifleman, Honey West</i>,and <i>The Big Valley</i>; I serenely await the original <i>Burke's Law, Richard Diamond, Robert Taylor's Detectives,</i> and <i>Dick Powell Theater</i>.)<br />(Well, it might happen ...)<br />I don't know if any systems or stations in Texas are carrying MEtv right now. If any are, this might be the time to chat up any friends you have in those areas. You won't regret it.Mike Dorannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-87045543096132177652012-01-31T10:45:41.915-06:002012-01-31T10:45:41.915-06:00I remember watching it and enjoying it.

This was one of many Four Star productions on about that time with Dick Powell at the head and David Niven, Charles Boyer and Ida Lupino as the other three stars.<br /><br />A recent series with a similar premise is the British "Hustle" with the most recognizable star Robert Vaughn. It's a clever program based upon the episodes I've seen on AMC. <br /><br />Good to see Robert Vaughn in something other than the lawyer ads that are apparently syndicated round the country to firms in various markets. The tagline is "Call the hurt line."Richard Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770090814220403413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-47684271981573921822012-01-31T09:34:47.190-06:002012-01-31T09:34:47.190-06:00fantasticfantasticSteve Weddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876211586767139613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-66528769618089296332012-01-31T09:22:54.412-06:002012-01-31T09:22:54.412-06:00I remember this one well.

I'll have to go look back, but one of them involves in minor but telling part how much he was impressed by THE ROGUES and then his gradual disillusionment with rogues, generally (rather a naif, Greene).Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-922706851968316052012-01-31T07:25:52.224-06:002012-01-31T07:25:52.224-06:00I don't remember it.
