Sargent Preston Of The Yukon! With his dog Yukon King!

On you Huskies, on! Mush! Mush!

Now in those simpler times TV could slag whole races with impunity, so the good Sarge was always tracking down cowardly half-breeds.

Sargent P.: "Well it's the end of the line for you Jacques le Rubberboot"!

Jacques: By Gar! By Jeez, tabernack! H'its dat darn Mountie! Mon dieu you'll never tak me alive, by Gar!

Usually the french canadian villainous trapper would then fall into a crevice, and Sargent Preston would turn to Yukon King and trumpet: "See King, crime doesn't pay".

Canadian kids could get a genuine "official Mountie" badge if they sent in to the show. Even as a twelve year old I didn't think much of the constabulary, so I passed on that.

I DID have an official Richard Greene "Robin Hood" bow and arrow set, with cap and feather.

Oh....and WRESTLING CARDS! Argentine Rocca, Lou Thez, Gorgeous George, Whipper Billy Watson, Dory Funk, Killer Kowalski, and the toughest of all...Gene Kiniski (who stomped off Kowalski's ear! (yes I knew it was totally fake....but my grandma didn't!)
