Western TV shows

Good list, did you find any sites you could free and legally download any of them without a signup requirement and e-mail address so you don't get any of their junk mail?

I never thought of that. I gotta get with the times and start downloading stuff, that's a great idea.

Was Mr. Gibbs with Hugh O'Brien? That was another good'un.

You might be right, wasn't Hugh O'Brien Wyatt Earp?

I DVR Gunsmoke and Bananza and watch them over and over. The Rifleman probably my favorite but its not showing anywhere right now.

I noticed that Ben and the boys were pretty much a$$holes the first season, then they became the good guys.

Festus is my favorite Gunsmoke character.

Too bad they aren't still making these. At least we get a decent western TV movie every now and then, like Open Range.

When they lost Chester, I thought that might hurt the series, but then Festu was better than Chester ever way.:laughing:

Great thread!

I recently got the Western channel and am realing enjoy Gunsmoke. It's a classic. I have seen Hopper but also does anyone remember Burt Reynolds being a deputy for a while?

Alias Smith and Jones?

They were a take off of Butch IMHO.

The Rifleman probably my favorite but its not showing anywhere right now.

Festus is my favorite Gunsmoke character.

I just found Rifleman on Direct TV channel 365. 5-6pm also Lone Ranger at 4:30 and a Bat Masterson episode on Sat.at 5:30. It's a religious network called Lesea Broadcasting.

Did you know Festus ( Ken Curtis ) was lead singer for The Sons of the Pioneers, played in many early John Wayne movies and was married to Director John Ford's daughter. He sang I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen To Maureen O'Hara in the John Wayne/ John Ford cavalry epic Rio Grande

Burt Reynolds played the blacksmith on Gunsmoke, not a deputy.

He did play a temporary deputy in a few episodes so did the gunsmith Newly later on.

We have our DVR set to record The Rifleman, Bonanza and Gunsmoke. I just now looked and we are down to 16 hours in memory. Earlier this spring we had 32 hours just of Gunsmoke.

One of our "antanna" received channels - 5.2 - is nothing but old shows. We watched Jimmy Dean sing on the Daniel Boone Show.

Where is the Rifleman coming from - what channel? I can't find it anywhere on my Dish channels. Maybe its a local off-air channel?

I have it on DirecTV channel 367 WHT which is the World Harvest Television. It comes on at 4 and 4:30 Monday through Friday.

I don't know if Dish offers the channel or not.

I cannot believe you guys are wasting time DVRing all of these ancient tv shows!

You could be watching the latest Reality TV!

Something like Jersey Shore!



It does say something that we used to have TV shows that showed Good and Bad with Good mostly/always winning. Now we just get junk TV staring junk people.

Guess that is why most of the major networks are loosing viewers. We have not watched ABC, NBC, CBS or even FOX in five years. Have not missed anything that is for sure.

Exactly right ...or replays of the Sopranos - now there was a show...:thumbsup:
