First Lines: Larry McMurtry - Lonesome Dove
When Augustus came out on the porch the blue pigs were eating a rattlesnake - not a very big one.
The Twilight Zone: Mr. Denton on Doomsday (1959)
The town drunk in the old-west faces his past when Fate lends a hand.
Nicely staged Western story would have worked just as well without supernatural interference.
The Twilight Zone: One For the Angels (1959)
A pitchman is visited by Death and is forced to get his priorities in order.
Good, heart-warming episode manages to turn a story about fate and death into an uplifting tale.
