My favorite CHUCK CONNORS movie after SOYLENT GREEN Is still GERONIMO (in which he met his wife!) Say what you will but "Geronimo" and DUSTIN HOFFMAN' LITTLE BIG MAN fueled my interests in Indigenous history and the various cultures!

Didn't do too good, 9/13. When they give "Both" as a choice that threw me off. DYK....I believe Chuck Conners, while as a rookie for the Celtics, was the first player to break the glass backboard going for a lay-up. He was 6'6' and a heluva athlete.

Also only scored 9/13. It's tough when you have both or neither as a choice.

I remember Tightrope vaguely from when I was very young. Wish someone would put that one on their schedule.

That was a good episode. And it was all over delivering a coconut cream pie in Alaska.
