Television: September 2006 Archives

“Move 'em on. Head 'em up."

Those were the first words spoken by the trail boss before the credits began during each episode of the popular 1959 television show Rawhide. On the air for eight seasons from 1959 thru 1966, Rawhide was the Western that launched the career of Clint Eastwood. The show was a hit from the start, and held a position as one of the top ten rated shows during its first season. Alongside Eastwood, Rawhide starred Eric Fleming, James Murdoch, Joseph Scarlett, and Steven Raines.
