Widder, SASS #59054 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Mine were also: The Rifleman The Wild Wild West (every Friday nite, I would sit and watch it while eating a pint of ice cream). The Lone Ranger Bonanza and.......... Gunsmoke when Festus became the deputy. I also liked the Saturday morning Roy Rogers and Sky King. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pee Wee #15785 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Tombstone Territory: Tough sheriff Clay Hollister keeps the law in Tombstone, Arizona--"The Town Too Tough to Die"--with the support of his faithful deputies and the editor of the local newspaper. 26 Men: Based on the true characters of Captain Tom Rynning and Ranger Clint Travis, 26 Men was in the tradition of Death Valley Days providing true stories of the exploits of the Arizona Rangers. Modeled on the Texas Rangers, the Arizona Rangers did a lot in cleaning up the outlaw element in the Territory so that it was disbanded in 1909 and Arizona was admitted to the union as our 48th state in 1912. The Rebel: A former Confederate Army Private roams the Wild West after the end of the Civil War as a rogue drifter and gets involved in helping out various settlers threatned by various bad guys.

stepnmud#33546 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Gosh! just liked 'em all. RAWHIDE really seems to an all time favorite with Gil Favor and his cowboy ethics and teaching them young sprouts like Clint, Sheb and rest of the trailhands. Wanted Dead or Alive, Palidin, Johnny Yuma the Rebel. Pretty much spoiled with all them western TV series from the 50s. When even younger watched Hopalong, Roy Rodgers, Wild Bill Hickok, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Mushman Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Used to watch "Have Gun Will Travel" every week with my dad. Was always a special time for me. --Dawg Me too. My daughter got me a Netflix subsription a few years ago and I got to watch EVERY episode again. Best present ever! +2 Have Gun will Travel is my my all time favorite - know most of the episodes and dialogue by heart now. Pretty decent stories and writing, classy and entertaining. Earliest favorites were Hoppy, The Lone Ranger and Tonto (really liked the partnership), Roy, Dale and Trigger, Wild Bill Hickock. If it had horses, hats, and guns I watched it! Me too, and loved most all of it, but never completely got into Autry - don't know why. Will still try anything with "horses, hats, and guns", at least once (saw Cowboys & Aliens" this year Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
