Old tv shows and what we learn from them

I am sitting downstairs and tam is in bed....dale has gun smoke on the big screen.  He is so in love with these shows. He is starting to talk in his southern accent and telling me that by these tv shows he has learned to ride a horse, hate snakes, learn true grit...I am laughing my hiney off. He really cracks me up sometime.  Like you can learn how to ride a horse on tv...really? Really love my hubbinesss.
