I was 9 when this series aired. I must have been one of the only ones watching. I've never forgotten this series.
I was 7 years old then. Never knew about this show until today.
I had forgotten all about this show! What a delightful flashback! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never saw this before. Tim Conway was hilarious. His best was the oldest man and the elephant story. RIP.
And the dentist bit on the Carol Burnett show. Harvey Korman reportedly wet his pants trying to keep from laughing and had to change trousers before the next skit.
One of the harder Carol Burnett skits to find (occasionally) is the "Wrong Number" skit. Worth looking at. It appears and disappears from YT periodically.
@@josepherhardt164Korman "reportedly" wet his paints?! If you see the skit, it's obvious.
A trip back to the past. Tim Conway was a classic comic genius
After McHales Navy, Tim Conway always had the 'timing' and hesitation that is unparalleled in comedy. The facial and body movements must have made his Mom crazy and then think about his Teachers and any one who was lucky enough to find themselves on the humorous crafty end of this industry standard developer
Never knew that Tim Conway played in a western. Hilarious!
My brother and I used to watch all these old westerns when we were growing up. I was 13 he was 11. WWwest was our favorite.
Same here, only I was 7 and my brother was 9. Great memories!
Tim Conway was a natural. One hysterical fellow!
What a delight to see an episode of this short lived late 60s after all these years ! I have fond memories of watching some episodes of this Tim Conway TV show as a youngster when it first aired. Thanks a LOT for uploading for us to enjoy ! 😆
Our pleasure!
I remembered every bit of the theme song and even sang along with it, though I haven't seen it for 55 years!
*Greetings, my fellow Boomer! Weren't those days wonderful! It was such a blessing to be a kid in the 1950s and '60s!*
Theme song sung to perfection by the great Frankie Laine, who also sang the theme to Rawhide.
I just discovered this Tim Conway series. Genius and hilarious. Beedy eyes lol. Amazing comedian.
When the saddle comes off and Tim says help me get the horse under here.
This is the first time I've seen this one in a long time. And I forgot that Junction City was also the name of the city that he played in with Don Knotts in The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again, another hilariously funny comedy. When Tim Conway paired up with Don Knotts that was another side splitter. They don't make comedies like that anymore.❤
I remember watching Rango as a boy. Loved it. Too bad it didn't last long. Tim Conway was a great clean comedian.
Clean Comedian? compared to the ones who did not take a shower before going on stage?
Best opening song ever!
Well😂,this show, shows why Tim and Don Knott's were a good pairing. 🤓😎😎
Tim Conway does Barney Fife...
I think that's Mike Mazurki as the prisoner. I was about 11 when Rango premiered. Thought it was pretty funny. One episode had Rango as an Indian named Moonface. Antagonist asked "What tribe are you from?" Rango hesitated, making up an answer. "From the...Minnetonkas....from the Land of Sky Blue Waters." Which of course was the Hamm's beer slogan. Busted me up.
I'm trying to imagine how funny this would have been if Harvey Korman were part of the cast.

Yes, it is in COLOR! Black and White! LOL
Not to be confused with the 2011 movie about a chameleon actor who mistakenly gets cast as the cowboy sheriff of a small town of desert animals (good movie, actually). I had no idea that there was a TV show with the same name and also about law enforcement in the old west. RIP Tim Conway.
Thank you. Good opening theme.
Tim conway was a nut the kind you love waching
Wow this was my favorite show when it was on the air and I could not understand why it stopped, it was slapstick and idiotic , I was looking for it for years thank you for posting it, can you post the other 16 episodes? I was 8 years old and loved it so much I named my turtles after the two main characters Rango and Pink Cloud !
Glad you enjoyed it. We only own one 16mm film of Rango. I have to think the series is a lost series, so it's pretty slim anyone would have all the episodes.
Amazing show I discovered today in 2022.
Not to be confused with the chameleon of the same name.
This would make a nice companion to Dusty's Trail with Bob Denver!
This ABC series was the first for Danny Thomas and Aaron Spelling, as their Thomas-Spelling Productions company would move on to "THE MOD SQUAD" for ABC in 1968, and "THE NEW PEOPLE" in 1969 (part of ABC"s 90-minute format with "MUSIC SCENE"), shortly before becoming Spelling-Goldberg Productions with Leonard Goldberg in the 1970s (where they also produced "THE ROOKIES", "S.W.A.T.", "STARSKY & HUTCH", and "CHARLIE'S ANGELS", along with "FANTASY ISLAND" (1977-1986), "HART TO HART", (1979-1984), and "TJ HOOKER" (1982-1986)-the three were co-produced with Columbia Pictures Television (now SONY)-but "RANGO" was a rare, short-lived ABC series-oh yes, I also forgot "THE GUNS OF WILL SONNETT", another Thomas-Spelling production, also for ABC in 1967, which ran until 1969, with 50 episodes. Walter Brennan, who previously starred in "THE MILLIONAIRE" and "THE REAL McCOYS", actually cackled with delight on the Paramount lot with his crew when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was killed in 1968 by an assassin's bullet-nice fellow!
Correction: Walter Brennan's other ABC series was called "THE TYCOON" (1964-65) from Danny Thomas Productions, which starred "SURFSIDE SIX" and "GREEN HORNET actor, Van Williams. that TV series was also shot on the Desilu Studios lot. Walter Brennan was also ultra-conservative, and very racist- the actor also said about the 1965 Watts riots, that they could've been stopped with a machine gun -again, what a nice guy (not!)
Ah, this and Dusty's Trail. I'm old! 😢
I'm 59 and never knew this existed.
As a Texan I'm disappointed to see the Rangers depicted thusly.
I like Ensign Parker, Carol Burnett show was a staple in our house, and Dorf has his moments but I'm not sure about this character's chances.
That hat looks like it'd be more of a Dallas Police detective hat than a Ranger's.
I was schoolmates with offspring of a Ranger and his wife. They lived just down the road from us.
That Ranger was slain in the course of duty.
His murderer is still alive last I heard.
Thanks for posting! I wont be looking for other episodes, lol. Laugh track every other second, now thats funny! ABC made some promising shows for young men to watch (like Blue Light) but cancelled them after 1/2 a season. BTW, "TV Guide ranked the series number 47 on its "TV Guide′s 50 Worst Shows of All Time" list in 2002"
I remember Tim Conway did this show right after Mchale's Navy ended. I liked Tim, and I liked westerns, so I watched the show. It was fun to watch, and had its comedic moments, but it wasn't funny enough to pull in the ratings (even as a kid I could see that), and so, it was canceled. The same thing can be said about his short-lived variety show he did after this series.
The days of laugh tracks.
Cute. Love Guy Marks.
Great show and like Gidget cancelled well before its time!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Conway Jr is on 640 kfi m-f! 2024
I wonder if Rango, starring Tim Conway has any sponsors on ABC🤔
I see it flagged as being in color but it's in black and white. This may be a kinescope done by an ad agency. You sometimes can see the effects of live video in these films.
It's not a kinescope. Usually you can see a bit of picture distortion in a kinescope as it is filmed off a TV screen. This is actually a b-w film print that was distributed to some TV stations not offering color broadcasts in their area.
rango and blazing saddles themes sung by the same guy
And Rawhide, (Frankie Laine)
He and joe flynn had a short lived one to they were good together on mchales navy the show was something about an airline
Thanks, love Tim Conway!! Any accsess to the color episodes? Sad it only ran 17 episodes...sounds like a summer replacement?
As a channel that only uploads "real" film transfers (16mm or 35mm) I doubt anyone has access to the films of all the episodes, in color or b-w. If anyone has other episodes of this series, I'd like to acquire them. Pass the word! This is the only episode we have.
@@MoviecraftInc Thanks for your reply, let me see what I can fine I know that there are bootleg copies that have them in color but maybe I find the source, I know it was an ABC network program. Thanks again I haven’t seen any of it for so long, I’ll see what I can find and get back with you, again thanks so much.
didn't last long but is still a good show.
I heartily concur !

Tim Conway could cause bloopers
wherever he was.😆😆😆😆
well if you'd cut your hair like everybody else ... 🤣
The first shot says "In Color" ??
This is a b-w film print that was distributed to some TV stations not offering color broadcasts in their area.
Whats next? Don Knotts as a US Marshal?
he was the shakiest gun in the west
did i not read "filmed in color"?
On these "lost" series, you take what you could get. Our 16mm film print is black and white.
At 9:34 did they bleep Conway?
I'll take Tim Conway over Don Knotts any day.
It say in color..
Rango was good AB tried to get Tim another way to entertain the crowd. One season, then bye Tim.
"In Color"?
This not foe me😅
So close to slapstick it was sickening and not at all funny.
The story of Joe Biden when he was a deputy
Stupid.
O ffs ..grow up
@@katherinegray5086 HEY!! GBTSD
most boring white bread comedian ever😮
