I loved this show when I was a kid

Of all the shows that I watched when I was a child, this is the one I liked the most.  I loved the show - and I loved Richard Greene.  He was remarkably good looking and charming. The Sheriff of Nottingham was a dastardly villain with no sense of humor.  Robin and his merry band not only defeated the Sheriff in every show, they did it with grace and humor.  Unlike most shows of the 50's, Marian did not just sit around in a long dress waiting to be rescued.  She put on her tights and fought.  I don't remember her using a sword very much, but she was an excellent archer.  Looking back after over 40 years, I realize that the relationship between Robin and Marian was more that of pals than lovers as befitted a Saturday morning show for kids.  Part of me would like to see it again, but another part me is afraid that it would lose some of it's golden glow. I feel sorry for the kids today.  They get endless violent cartoon shows that are only created to sell merchandise.  They will never thrill to

"Robin Hood, Robin Hood Riding through the glen, Robin Hood, Robin Hood With his band of men, Feared by the Bad Loved by good Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood."

score 7/10
