[tamiznluv]

The really old shows I remember are Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, Annie Oakley, Wild Bill Hickock but I was only 3, maybe 4 at the most at that time.

What I really remember is The Rifleman (be still my heart, Chuck Connors).

Some series with Chad Everett in it that I used to dream about Chad!

The Lone Ranger (Tonto my man!) (lol I grew up to marry 3 different men who all have Indian blood in them and my daughter is part Inadian too! go figure!)

Sky King, a more modern day cowboy whose horse is an airplane!

Maverick (have always loved James Garner)

Bat Masterson (Gene Barry was so suave.)

Wild Wild West (Artemus was so cool)

Briscoe County Jr. (that was a fun series!)

[LML]

Gunsmoke
High Chaparral
Big Valley (I had a secret crush on Peter Breck)

I am so surprised no one has mentioned "Alias Smith and Jones". Camera trickery produced the fastest gunslinger ever!

Yes, good ones! We watched repeats of Big Valley when I was a kid. Still remember many episodes.

Alot of these old westerns take me back. I grew up on alot of these back in the early to mid 80s. Thanks to USA, TBS, WGN and a channel back in the day called CBN (which later became the Family Channel). I got see alot of the westerns mentioned in this thread. Ah my formative years as a couch potato. My faves were Cimarron Strip and the Rifleman (absolutely LOVED the opening). And I noticed not one vote for Wagon Train?

I remember Lancer. It was part of USA's Sunday Showdown back in the day. I thought it was pretty good

When I was really young, I had such a crush on one of those brothers. I think it was the older one who had lighter hair.

I still watch Gunsmoke and Little House on the Prarie on a regular basis.

I still watch Gunsmoke regularly too. It was so well done, with such memorable characters, scripts and high production values (great soundtrack!) that it seems timeless.

I liked Have Gun, Will Travel a lot too. I haven't seen it reently.

tamiznluv: Right you are! The Rifleman was a good 30-minute show. I love that intro! Chuck Connors was a real force. BTW, Johnny Crawford sings in front of a big band these days.

Anyone remember this one starring Dale Robertson? This clip has a young Chuck Connors in it.

Not a TV show, but a clip from " They Call Me Trinity". Funny stuff.
