Bonanza (1959) Season 1 Out of Context
I've been going back and watching all the shows I used to watch when I was little - and man, Bonanza is so much better as an adult. I really love these characters - I’m such a sucker for a good series about family relationships, love and loyalty. Also, the show is just as funny as it is dramatic at times, lol!

David Soul as Detective Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson and Paul Michael Glaser as Detective Dave Starsky in the groundbreaking and progressive for the era lgbtq+ themed episode of Starsky & Hutch entitled Death in a Different Place, originally broadcast by ABC on October 15th, 1977. During an interview with the Television Academy recorded on August 6th, 2014, Paul Michael Glaser discussed the close relationship he developed with his co-star David Soul: "My chemistry with David, interestingly enough, was very much about what happened in front of the camera. Off-camera we didn't have a whole lot to talk about. We'd see each other at a party, 'hey, how are you?', 'fine, how are you?', 'fine', and there was nothing more to talk about. It wasn't that there wasn't anything there, it's that I don't think either of us felt comfortable talking about it. And then the years went by and the last few years, when you've had a relationship that's existed that long, you can't help but to really care and love that person. David and I have become much more comfortable with understanding and acknowledging our feelings. At the time it was probably more difficult, but when we got on camera, it was all there. It was really interesting. We were kinda joined at the hip, so as uncomfortable as we might've been as younger men with our feelings, we weren't uncomfortable with them in front of the camera. We were joined in this destiny, we were joined to do the best we could possibly do with the show." Paul later stated about Starsky & Hutch during an interview with The New York Post's Page Six in 2021: “I think it’s important to understand that yeah, there’s homoerotic elements. I think the reality is David and I are for the most part, if you have to define oneself, as straight. But you have to be able to recognize there’s a part of all of us that is homoerotic. We see someone of the same sex that’s attractive, we either deny it or acknowledge that it’s there. Does that mean we’re going to have a homosexual relationship with that person? Not necessarily, but it becomes much more freeing to be able to acknowledge something that exists, maybe kid about it, play with it a little bit and move on. One thing David and I had and still have is a very deep friendship.”

I'm in such a Western Whump hole right now. And it's surprising how many times you can read about fevers and getting shot off a horse but still not get bored
I don't wanna @ anyone because I understand how fast things seem to move in today's landscape of streaming shows dropping entire seasons in one day, and networks pumping out new series constantly to try to attract more subscribers with no intent to actually maintain those shows over time but I just saw someone self-deprecatingly lament that they are still thinking about a show that ended almost a year ago, making fan art and playlists for it, and I want to be very clear:
you can still create fanworks when it comes to old media!! PLEASE do!! there are always going to be new fans who will appreciate it, and veteran fans who are dying for new content and new perspectives. also, less than a year is NOTHING. the original Star Trek series was on TV six decades ago and there are still people losing their minds over it, writing stories and reblogging gifsets daily, and that's only one example.
a fandom lasts as long as there are people who love a thing, even if it's only a handful of people. love what you love and write and draw and make gifs and playlists about it!
