These two shows sure help my work from home day fly by. Damn solid TV 

Landon to Carson on the Tonight Show: "No, John. None of the Cartwrights was gay.  But we sure were glad Hop Sing was."

The High Chaparral was another great western. From the same producer as Bonanza.

These were never missed when I was growing up.  Dad would have lit us up if we suggested something else when they were on.

A not insignificant chunk of my youth was spent watching a shitton of The Big Valley/Gunsmoke/Lone Ranger/Bonanza/Rawhide reruns on Channel 39 with my dad. 

I always got a kick out of Laredo.

Ahhh shit.  How did I leave Rifleman out?  That was my favorite.  Usually 2 episodes at 2 on Sundays.

PA! PA!

Watched plenty of Bonanza, Big Valley, Lone Ranger, and even some Hopalong Cassidy reruns when I was growing up, but my favorite was The Wild Wild West.

Saw Bonanza in color for the first time a few years back.

The Ponderosa looked fake.

Finally upgraded your black and white tv?

Stuck with the Emerson 28" cabinet style.  Don't like color for nothing.

Maverick was good/greatness during the James Garner years. Really slid after that.

Have you ever heard of a little show called Branded, Dude? All but one man died? There at Bitter Creek? Fucking Arthur Digby Sellers wrote 156 episodes, Dude.Bulk of the series. Not exactly a lightweight. And yet his son is a fucking dunce.

Branded, scorned as the one who ran.
What do you do when you're branded and you know you're a man?

Branded was great, but I was always more of a Bounty Law guy.

I started watching a lot of gunsmoke two or three years ago. I was never a huge fan of the late in-color years when I saw it as a kid. The early ones are kick ass. The best era was that period where early Festus overlapped with Quint and Chester. At least once or twice they were all in the same episode.

High Chaparal was so underrated and too short-lived. Best characters and best theme song of all TV westerns.  I was glad to be able to start watching it again recently when I was able to dial in the H&I Channel just barely in my range. I had lost it for a good while when one of the local poors channels switched formats.

Chuck Connors. That's a life well lived. In addition to his acting career, he played in both the NBA (Celtics) and MLB (Dodgers and Cubs, briefly). One of the funniest quips I ever heard was he went from the worst shot in the East (Celtics) to the best shot in the West (Rifleman).

Give me some miss kitty. And every rando Landon was banging on bonanza. 

And hoss was the best.

The old radio series with William Conrad as Matt Dillon was even better. He was a lot meaner than the James Arness version.

i watched the first season last fall and Matt's character was much darker and not very friendly.
