Members robbwolff Posted November 29, 2014 Members Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yep. In the last few months, KVIK had a game show titled "Texas Tall Tales" starring Stella Stanton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 29, 2014 Members Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks. I only found one article myself, and I wasn't sure. It had them appearing soon, so I wasn't sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted November 29, 2014 Members Share Posted November 29, 2014 I found a couple articles, including one that had other performers listed (Jayne Meadows, Peter Noone). But I just don't recall them appearing on the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 30, 2014 Members Share Posted November 30, 2014 Did the TV station always figure into the story or did it become more prominent once Bev McKinsey left? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members robbwolff Posted December 25, 2014 Members Share Posted December 25, 2014 Carl, Thanks for those awesome Texas articles! I caught the snippet about the cancellation rumors being false. I remember Entertainment Tonight announcing around March 1982 that NBC was canceling Texas but then retracting the statement the next day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 25, 2014 Members Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thanks. I guess they must have changed their mind at the last second. I wonder if that Natalie Campbell did any other roles. I'd never heard of her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted December 25, 2014 Members Share Posted December 25, 2014 I don't recall seeing Campbell on anything after Texas. I recollect her being rather tall with brown hair. Gretchen Randolph wasn't around very long at all…maybe from January through April of 1982 and then she was killed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 That Brette/Rikki story is THE story I remember most about Texas! (I was only 9 then) That story alone will always make me love that show. So great to see an article about it. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for reading. I've always had a soft spot for Harley Jane Kozak (long before I ever knew she was on soaps). I will have to check some of that material out if it's online. Were they on to the end? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks for the articles. They scream 1982, especially Randy Hamilton talking about his new Firebird with the T-tops. Randy followed in Michael Young's footsteps by hosting two shows he did. Young hosted a show on early Nickelodeon called America Goes Bananaz then left and Randy replaced him. Young then hosted Kids Are People Too and Randy later hosted on that show as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 It's interesting to see Caryn Richman on Texas. She later played in The New Gidget 1985-1988 with Dean Butler (from Little House), Sydney Penny (AMC) and William Schallert (I think he has played everyone's dad at some point). Fred Kohner who created the franchise said out of all the movie/TV Gidget's, Caryn was the most like his daughter Kathy (Gidget) who he wrote the books about. He died shortly after production of this series and I guess the franchise died with him since there hasn't been any more updated projects with the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 Yep. Rikki and Brette were there till the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted December 26, 2014 Members Share Posted December 26, 2014 I really liked Brette/Rikki as a couple, as well as Mark/Ruby. They were my fave four of that show with Ruby my fave character from the moment she arrived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6z99hv1P-8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
