Westerns
By: Plagosus Date: September 24, 2023, 2:17 pm

Post prompted by a BOTD. When I was a boy in the 50s and 60s
boys in Britain knew as much about "the Wild West" as boys in
the US. Numerous western series were shown on British TV. Who
recalls the following?
Wagon Train
Bonanza
Gunsmoke
The Tenderfoot
Laramie
Boots and Saddles
Maverick
Cheyenne
The Lone Ranger
The High Chaparral
Rawhide
The Virginian

I was born in 1972, but even when I was a child, I could watch
some of those shows on TV. I remember Bonanza and Gunsmoke. I
also know The Virginian, High Chapparal and Kung Fu, but I think
I saw those later, when I was a young adult.
Do The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie count as
Westerns, too? I saw those as a kid as well.

Not really - those were more county than western, I'd think.
As for me, I also remember
Have Gun, Will Travel
Sugarfoot
Alias Smith and Jones
Branded
Guns of Will Sonnet
There was also Fury, which was something of a modern western.

'Boots and Saddles" featured the Fifth Cavalry. One of the
writers was Gene Roddenberry.

TV Western 1958-1959. Indian Agent Tom Jeffords makes friends
with Chief Cochise, becoming a blood brother of the Apache.
I had forgotten about Branded, He was kicked out of the army
with his broken Sabre and fought against the bad guys.

What can you do when you're Branded, and you know you're a
man....
