LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Dennis Weaver, the slow-witted deputy Chester Goode in the TV classic western "Gunsmoke" and the New Mexico deputy solving New York crime in "McCloud," has died. The actor was 81.

Weaver died of complications from cancer Friday at his home in Ridgway, in southwestern Colorado, his publicist Julian Myers said.

Hollywood, Los Angeles, home of the Movie Studio... Where did they get all those cowboys?

"Gower Gulch," 6098 Sunset Boulevard.

At the corner of Gower & Sunset (across from the Sunset Gower Studios) is a small western themed shopping center named "Gower Gulch," This center took its name from the history of this Hollywood intersection. So many movie extras used to hang out here in search of work, dressed in cowboy costumes, that the area was nicknamed "Gower Gulch."

Betcha didn't know that?

How many of these do you remember?

The Virginian

Sugarfoot

Alias Smith & Jones

Gunsmoke

The Lone Ranger

Hopalong Cassidy

The Rifleman

High Chapparal

Bonanza

Big Valley

Wells Fargo

I know there were more but these are the ones that I recall seeing.

Well Done Toots

The series featured Ward Bond as Wagonmaster Major Seth Adams who shouted his signature catchphrase "Wagons HO!"

THEME SONG LYRICS

"Roll On Wagon Train"

Music by Sammy Fain,

and lyrics by Jack Brooks,

Roll along Wagon Train.

Rollin over prairie where there ain’t no grass,

Rollin over mountain where there ain’t no pass.

Sittin on a board eye in the weather,

Prayin to the Lord we stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

Wagon Train, roll along.

Pickin up a passenger in every town,

Wonderin if he’s ever gonna shoot you down.

Lookin for a pal, ain’t it a pity,

Lookin for a gal, needn’t be pretty

If she’ll ride on the Wagon Train.

Wagons ho!

Gotta keep em on the run.

Time to go! And follow the sun.

Roll along Wagon Train.

Never had a cabin near a general store,

Only had a wagon and a forty four.

Sittin on a board. Eyein the weather

Prayin to the Lord we stay together

Side by side on the Wagon Train.

WARD BOND
