This show was one of my earliest memories of television; I loved it. I remember Bison Bill took over for Buffalo Bob when he suffered a heart attack. But, Buffalo Bob came back and stayed until the end.
I remember the iconic moment when the last show aired and Clarabell spoke for the first and last time, only to say, "goodbye kids".
