Woody and his Round-Up Gang (Jessie, Bullseye, and Stinky Pete) felt the same way when space toys came in after two words happened: 1) Sput and 2) Nik.
Especially anyone is a hero who shows kindness to people who get regularly abused. Especially if they don’t act like they deserve a medal and a parade for it. Just do it. ❤️
You can still watch the old time westerns just search your cable listings. I have Comcast and you can watch them in the 200 series channels. Also I watch a few channels over the air which plays nothing but westerns. I just wish it was a way to record them.
Being “of an age” myself (and an advanced age at that), I completely agree with Earl here. But it behooves the recipient of kindness and compassion to say “Thank You” to the giver. Believe me, doing so pays remarkable dividends. 8>)
Thought about this the other day. Most of my heroes we’re Baseball players from the 60’s and 70’s. Jackie, Willie, Tony Gwenn, Johnny Bench… Still heroes, but I like Earls new outlook!
All those old cowboys showed kindness and compassion to those they helped even though emphasis was often placed on the violence getting the bad guys. But some even packed a guitar so they could sing in the saddle while chasing those bad guys. I remember cuz I’m the same age as Earl.

I enjoyed the cowboys too, but my real heroes were spacemen: Buck Rogers, Captain Video, Tom Corbett, and especially Flash Gordon. (Can you tell?)

I have a copy of Gene Autry’s Cowboy Code on the cork board. Not surprising that Earl chooses kindness and compassion if he follows the Code.

My heroes have always been cowboys. And they still are it seems. Always in search of, and one step in back of themselves and their slow moving dreams.

I was a Roy Rogers fan until I ate at one of his restaurants.
We would ask each other “Would you rather get beaten with whips and chains, or go to Roy Rogers?”
