TV Westerns! Cowboy Toys! Red Steagall! Playing Cowboy with Bob Terry! A WORD ON WESTERNS!
“Westerns on the Web” host and producer Bob Terry seems to love everything about the West. He’s especially fond of the many cap pistols, toy guns and replicas carried by TV’s many cowboy stars during the Golden Age of TV Westerns. The fancy rigs, pistols and rifles used on shows like THE RIFLEMAN, TALES OF WELLS FARGO, BONANZA, THE RESTLESS GUN and WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE are what he dreams about. With his partner and wife, Johnie, Bob founded Wild West Toys, an American toy manufacturing company that makes recreations of the toy guns he grew up playing with. Is he still playing? You bet he is!
With a ready smile and hearty laugh, Bob joined me for an exclusive interview the second weekend of April, 2024, in Oklahoma City during the Western Heritage Awards. It was Cowboy Heaven. Our love of many of the same things is evident during our back-and-forth conversation recollecting memories and our shared passion for all things western.
As one of the directors and producers of Red Steagall’s long running TV series, “Somewhere West of Wall Street,” Bob is an award winner. He’s also the host and creator of “Westerns on the Web” showcasing classic TV and movie westerns and has produced and starred in the online series “Sundown” and “The Forsaken Westerns,” tributes to those wonderful westerns of old.
Bob is also a singer and musician. With his wife, Johnie, he writes and performs western music at events and church gatherings. Bob even lives in a log cabin they built together that’s located in north Texas. Growing up on ranches in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and British Columbia, Bob worked as a real cowboy but always dreamed of the “reel” cowboys he grew up watching on television. His dreams came true! Find out how it all happened in this special episode of A WORD ON WESTERNS.
