self promo meme - day 6

small fandom/character/pairing - Alias Smith and Jones
ah, ASJ, how I love that show. Riffing off of Butch and Sundance, the show aired in 1971-1973 (in the second year one of the leads, Pete Duel, tragically committed suicide, but the show went on with a replacement - though not for long). The chemistry between Duel and Ben Murphy holds up and then some to this day. The two main characters are the quick-draw Kid Curry (with the curly hair) and his partner, the sly, intelligent Heyes (with his "silver tongue," as the Kid described it). I've never seen two guys who can yell at each other and still maintain a palpable sense of adoration for each other, every single moment, until I saw these two.

Best episode ever: The Bounty Hunter (with Louis Gossett, Jr.)

This is a vid I did, back when I was still doing them.

*THAT* was awesome!!! I keep telling hardboiledbaby that I could totally get into the ASJ fandom, but not only don't I have the DVD's, but I also don't have the time for more than one fandom. Sigh. BUT, this vid could almost *make* me find the time!

If you're already that sold on it, maybe it'll bring you enough pleasure that it's worth making the time?
Glad you enjoyed the vid - I think it was a case of my love for the show coming through loud and clear, and also the reasons why I love it:)

You will vid again! Someday we will go back to that project!

Nice that we've seen ASJ recently : ) I love this vid (always have) - you just see so much love for the characters in it!

Yeah, I definitely agree with you on this vid showing how lovable the characters are. I really enjoyed watching the show the other night.

by the time we get around to vidding, I will no longer remember how it is done, I fear!

these guys, right? I was watching some episodes a couple of weeks ago and enjoying them as much as I ever did - they hold up nicely. The funny stuff to me is the thing where the Kid's quick-draw is never actually *shown.*

Heh, it was the SFX of its day—not a bad trick, just a wee bit overused, methinks :)
