5. Does Firefly count?

It is basically a Western sci-fi series. It should have run for several more seasons too.

Once Upon a Time in the West!

Henry Fonda as the bad guy in a reversal to the roles he so often played is psychologically jarring.

29. Thank you very much Emile. for sharing with us.

[boonecreek]

28. Movie, Tombstone.

Probably the most accurate accounting of the events that led up to
the gunfight at the OK Corral and its aftermath. Series, Bonanza.
I liked that they would do a comedy episode once in awhile like
"Hoss and the Leprechauns".

[debm55]

33. Thank you very much boonecreek. I will have to look for Tombstone. Thanks for both of your selections.

[doc03]

36. Gunsmoke and Lonesome Dove.

Gunsmoke…. I loved the Festus years. Lonesome Dove, I read the book before the miniseries, however, they were both great.

[debm55]

51. Thank you very much mentalsolstice. for your great selections.

[no_hypocrisy]

37. This is bittersweet. My BFF unexpectedly died more than two months ago.

Our last conversation was his fascination with the cable Western Channel. (He was in rehab, learning to stand and walk.)

He went on and on about Dame Judith Anderson and Bette Davis (separately) appearing on Wagon Train. I'd say he was excited.

I hope I can find these episodes, if only to understand better his last conversation with me.

[debm55]

55. Thank you so much for post ,no_hypocrisy. I hope you find those episodes. May the memories of your boyfriend bring

blessings to your heart. May he RIP

Maverick,The Wild,Wild West and Deadwood.

Movie: Little Big Man and Blazing Saddle

I Liked the Spagetti westerns like The Good, Bad and the Ugly. Can't stand to watch Clint Eastwood now though. But Eli Wallach was so funny as a Mexican.

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much Figarosmom. for sharing You have great selections.

[electric_blue68]

41. The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr, Bonanza

The others named here, a lot sound familiar, and I'm sure I watched some of them at times as a kid.

I think Bonanza was the one I watched consistently as a kid.

Briscoe County as an adult - very clever, funny. A bit of a Science Fiction flavor at some point.

[debm55]

44. Thank you very much for sharing with us , electric_blue68
