Thanks.  I was afraid I'd have to move on.

Alan Ritchson stars in the TV show.  He's about twice the size of Tom Cruise, who starred in the Jack Reacher movies.

FYI, Ritchson stars with Henry Cavill in "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare," based on a real spy escapade in WWII and possibly the inspiration for the James Bond series.

Oh ok.

The name Beetlejuice is spoken three times over the course of this series. Immediately after the third time, a familiar figure can be seen in the background, walking past.

One of the characters apparently realizes he's on a TV show and makes reference to its upcoming cancelation.

[It's long since been canceled].

Ok, here's one:

After watching one episode, Kevin Feige hired the "director" for Marvel movie projects. Perhaps not coincidentally, several of this series' stars had bit roles in Avengers Endgame, Spider-Man Homecoming and the two Captain America sequels.

The roles and cameos went to Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown and Ken Jeong. The setting was a two-year college. The name of the show rhymes with Immunity.

The star received his draft notice in 1943, and trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, before shipping out for North Africa. He was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division in time for the invasion of Anzio. Ten days after the invasion, he was severely wounded in the leg and foot by machine gun fire. He lost part of his foot, and received a medical discharge from the Army. When shooting movies or television shows, any scenes that required extensive walking would be shot early in the morning, before his feet and knees started giving out. For his service, he received: a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze campaign stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

The star was the only actor to appear in every episode.  One other actor missed only thirty episodes, six while he was recovering from a heart attack.

The show was slated to be cancelled in 1967 due to low ratings, but CBS President William Paley, who was a big fan, reversed the decision. He moved the show from Saturdays to Mondays (cancelling Gilligan's Island in the process), placing it back in the Nielsen's Top Ten.

No.

Though the show went many seasons, the star only kissed a woman once during its run.

In Spanish-speaking countries, the series is known as La Ley del Revólver.

The star was reluctant to take the role, fearing it would hurt his movie career.  His good friend John Wayne convinced him to take the part.

Still not getting it.

I occasionally confuse Bonanza for

GUNSMOKE

since I wasn't a big viewer of either.
