Talk:Alias Smith and Jones

"Kansas cousins"

The article states: "In the final season, the intro referred to Heyes and Curry as 'Kansas cousins.'" I believe that this change was effective as of the first episode with Roger Davis as Heyes and Ralph Story as narrator, midway through the second season, not the final (third) one. If so, the passage is at best misleading. Can someone verify (or refute) that? --Tbrittreid (talk) 19:35, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Geoffrey Deuel, the late Pete Duel's brother

Geoffrey Deuel, Pete Duel's younger brother took over his role in the third season. There's no mention of this in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelvin8 (talk • contribs) 09:33, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I can find nothing to support this assertion. Geoffrey Deuel's doesn't even appear to have had so much as a guest spot on the series according to IMDb. His article here makes no mention of it either. All the sources I've found state that Roger Davis was the only one who took over Deuel's role. Do you have any reliable sources that state otherwise? Pinkadelica^♣ 16:11, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

One hundred percent false. Geoff Deuel, who greatly resembles his elder brother Pete, was never asked to assume the role and did not have a hand in the series. Just watch the reruns or buy the discs. I was always a Pete Duel fan as he died when I was in 7th grade. As I watch the reruns I see just how very good Roger Davis was in this role and now prefer him. I think because the sandy haired Davis did not resemble Duel in looks or voice, it made the transition difficult. Sad to say, had they gone with either a look-a-like or sound-a-like the show might have seen five years. The scripts/ stories were exceptional, as were the skills of Ben Murphy. Alas, such as with the suiside of Freddie Prinze, weeks of dark headlines cast a maul over shows meant to be light-hearted. Viewing the show(s) so soon after the sad event, is like a morose reminder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.94.204.37 (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Our sage grandfather

The article says "Curry also speaks of their "sage old grandfather". In the first episode with Davis, "The Biggest Game in the West" (season two, episode 19)". They also did this about two episodes earlier, when they said something like "our sage grandfather said never play the other man's game". (I think it was "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Red Gap".)

Joshua Pete Smith

In the first episode with Roger Davis as Heyes, he introduces himself as Joshua Pete Smith and near the end of the show signs a letter that way. (A nod to Pete Duel?) Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 21:57, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Date

More specifically about the period of time, an episode in the third season talks about the change of governors in 1886 and 87: [[1]]. Bubba73 ^{You talkin' to me?} 18:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)
