Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree
Killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy . . . Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier!
Describing the significance of Davy Crockett is a daunting task. It’s both a historical event and a pop-culture phenomenon that defined the childhood of an entire generation of people. Though not having been there myself, I imagine it must’ve been very much comparable to the crazes that I went through as a young kid, whether it was Jurassic Park, Star Wars, or The Lion King. But from seeing archival footage and hearing eyewitnesses talk, it even appears to have been much bigger than those.
Despite the “King of the Wild Frontier” not holding any memories of my young life, as it does for others, I still have great affection for the series. I find the show incredibly fun to watch, which I chock up to the characters.
They may not be entirely accurate historical representations of their real-life counterparts, but I couldn't care less. Davy makes a great hero figure, and his sidekick George Russel is a very likeable guy. They have great personalities with genuine warmth, and I find it easy to care for them. Their friendship is touching, especially when it culminates to an instance in the third episode which becomes fairy emotional.
Adding to the enjoyment is the feeling of stepping back in time in our nation’s history. Whenever I watch Davy Crockett, I feel like I’ve time-traveled back to the 1950’s and have gotten a glimpse of what it was like for kids back then. The only would-be negative effects coming from the 50’s aura is a layer of cheesiness. These certainly aren’t the most realistic pieces of television by any stretch of the imagination, and much of the violence comes off as being “fake” by today’s standards. Yet, even for a 16-year-old who has grown up with the special effects of this and the last decade, it doesn’t tarnish my admiration of the series one bit.
