JLWM8609 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I remember the show from my childhood when Ron Stone hosted it, but I saw some rebroadcasts of it on PBS today with Ray Miller. They showed a rebroadcast of a story from 1990 about a town outside of Amarillo on old US 66, and a story from 1979 about a guy named Stanley Marsh III, the guy responsible for the infamous Cadillac Ranch sculpture.

houstonmacbro Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I caught one or two of the new episodes on the 'Net, but does it (new one) still air? I think Dominique Sacha and Bill Balleza were the new hosts, but can't seem to find it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retama Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 They showed a rebroadcast of a story from 1990 about a town outside of Amarillo on old US 66, and a story from 1979 about a guy named Stanley Marsh III, the guy responsible for the infamous Cadillac Ranch sculpture.The old Cadillac Ranch has moved since that show. By the mid-1980s the city of Amarillo had spread so far down I-40 that the Caddy's were within rocks throw of a shopping mall. So he dug them up and replanted them several miles west. Took my sons there last year. Love that part of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Somewhat related, Harris County is currently working to archive Ray Miller's Harris Conty Historian archives.They have boxes and boxes of his stuff. I hear it's pretty cool. Watching these rebroadcasts is one of my fave Saturday afternoon activities when at the beach. We only have rabbit ears down there so it's pretty retro while sipping a cocktail.I saw one last week from 1971 and I think Don Armstrong was the narrator.
