Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Gun Shy arrived during the brief 80s fascination with western parodies following films like The Apple Dumpling Gang, but couldn't capture the same family audience.

Trivia

Barry Van Dyke's appearance came between his stints on Galactica 1980 and eventually Diagnosis: Murder with his father Dick.
