Re: Favourite Cowboys
The thing I hate about Westerns is the cowboys always win. They should all be shot and the Native Indians win. The cowboys stole the Indian's land so I want to see all the cowboys dead at the end of the movie and the Indians sat around the bonfire celebrating their victory with a lovely BBQ

Re: Favourite Cowboys
My dad's memories of TV in the 1950s & 60s was a western almost every night in TV.
Even when they looked like they would go out of fashion there was a boost after True Grit, Butch Cassidy & The Sunshine Kid along with the Spaghetti Westerns.
Alias Smith & Jones being a good example.Leave a comment:

Re: Favourite Cowboys
I remember better the TV westerns of the mid60s onward. Bonanza with Lorne Greene, The High Chaparral with Leif Erickson and the lovely Linda Cristal, Branded with Chuck Connors. Even into the 70s there were western series on TV and later repeats.Leave a comment:

Re: Favourite Cowboys
As a kid in the '60s cowboy series ruled the airwaves, just 2 channels bbc and itv and you could always find a western show in the evenings, no daytime tv back then.Family favorites were Wells fargo starring Dale Robertson, Bronco lane starring Ty hardin, of course the lone ranger on Saturday tea times, in the cinema John Wayne wore the crown as king of the western and we all played with toy guns and cap pistols "cowboys and indians"
A look thru the tv schedules and you'll find old westerns airing today.Leave a comment:
