MrBill..you’ve never heard of ‘Destry Rides Again’? There were numerous ‘Destry’ movies; 1932 “Destry Rides Again” w/Tom Mix, “Destry Rides Again” w/James Stewart, 1939, “Destry”w/Audie in 1954, and then there was a tv series “Destry” w/ John Gavin, ran a few weeks in 1964. My favorite is the James Stewart....Have a good day...✌🏼

Enough already with the Andy Griffith trivia. You've been doing that to death for weeks. Please move on to other shows in your quizzes and stories.
