If people have to stay home and watch episodes of Gunsmoke,the Rifleman and Wagon Train the world might be a better place when they come out.
I can link you up with better things to watch online. All those programs were Great during their time. The rifleman's son was true talk and with questions.
If the internet goes out, there will be radio.

I agree 100%. They might learn some values and manners. And definitely consequences for actions. Marshal Dillon didn't mess around.
Cleaning your b-hole with a warm soapy warsh rag, amirite?
That was my point doing the right thing just because it is the right thing is a lost art, along with treating people the way you want to be treated. KU and Duke fans notwithstanding
All people under the age of 30 should be locked in their rooms for a week with nothing to do except watch old westerns. Might do em some good.
I think he messed around with Miss Kitty. The ginger who owned the long branch
Heard Adolph on one of the videos this morning. Brought back memories of Him, Cawood and Claude L. Sullivan. Good times.
I’m 29. Watched a lot of Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel with my grandpa growing up. I’d accept your offer. Works been kicking my butt lately. I work in a food processing plant rn so I’m getting plenty of OT
Top Ten Western Stars:
(NO ORDER)
James Arness(gunsmoke)
Chuck Conners(Rifleman)
Lee Majors(Big Valley)
Dan Blocker(Bonanza)
Steve McQueen(Have Gun will travel)
John Wayne
James Garner
Audie Murphy(couldn't act but included him because he was the most decorated during ww2)
Roy Rogers
Gene Autry
Slim Pickens, Clint Eastwood, Kirk Douglas...............
No Clint Eastwood? Every western he made was great. Nobody played the badass, gunslinger role better than him, IMO.
Love the Rifleman, great show, also the Californians, Death Valley Days and Dragnet are good viewing.
You are right. Make that top 11. I think he got his start on Wagon Train(Rowdy Gaines)
Very close. Rowdy Yates on Rawhide. Great list btw. Lee Van Cleef was another good one.
That was a good oneI think he messed around with Miss Kitty. The ginger who owned the long branch
Audie Murphy wasn't a great actor, that's true. But I liked him. That fella had a very hard life. Seemed like a genuinely good man.
Chuck Connors was a good athlete too. Played MLB and NBA for those too young and don't know him.
Dang, I am getting old. Knew that. Robert Fuller, I think, is who I crossed my wires with. Yeah, Van Cleef, Jimmy Stewart, Lee marvin, James Drury(?) Virginian, Michael Landon. We were so spoiled
Yes he was. In the dodgers organization John Wayne played football at usc I think .
One of the first people to break a backboard(no kidding)
He was(Murphy) until recently I think it is now Murl Connor from Albany Ky.
Clint was good during his appearance on Mr. Ed too. Ed thought Clint was going to kick his butt.

Tells of Wells Fargo for me,then the Rifleman.[laughing]
I agree but he truly was an American Badazz. One of the most decorated combat soldiers of WW2. That man did it in real life with the highest of stakes and for that, he has my eternal respect.
I think he was the most decorated soldier in WWII, if I'm not mistaken. I sure agree on eternal respect for him. I highly recommend "To Hell And Back". It's his biopic.
Matt Dillon was a badass.
And Burt Reynolds was on 51 episodes of early Gunsmoke. Half-breed Quint the blacksmith.

Steve McQueen starred in ‘Wantedead or Alive’. Have gun: Will travel was Richard Boone.
ead or Alive’. Have gun: Will travel was Richard Boone.
Good call on Hoss cartwright being one of the best, the Adam Cartwright character was one the most unlikeable.
This thread was hijacked into great westerns on TV. Keep going.
