Ansara was a good character actor. He just passed away last year. 91 years old.

And another western actor was Guy Williams (coincidentally, also Italian American from New York, real name Armand Catalano). He quit show business after "Lost in Space," but he did plenty of those westerns. He was actually supposed to be Pernell Roberts's replacement on "Bonanza," but it fell through at the last minute.

I was watching an episode of The Rifleman (remember it?) when I recalled another Chuck Conners' series: Branded. Do any of you recall it? It lasted just two seasons though.

Chuck Conners and Michael Landon made wholesome tv shows.

At the end Conners made a bad one about were wolves.

"The Rifleman" was my favorite television western. Unfortunately, there's isn't a complete dvd set available yet. Just a couple of cheap bootleg individual dvds. But it's on AMC every Saturday morning for about three hours, so I usually get up early to watch.

What amazes me about that show more than anything was how well Johnny Crawford rode a horse for such a little kid. He was a real runt those first couple of seasons. And even as an adult, I doubt he made it past 5 foot 6. But he could ride that horse!

How about Rin Tin Tin? When I was a kid I actually had several dreams that I was part of the cast.

I'm watching "Gunsmoke" right now. Why do they even bother to draw on Matt Dillon?

Tell you guys what I am in a good mood right now. I am sure it won't last.

So who ever is the first to put down their full real name and address in the United States on this thread, and not a Po box address.

I will send you my box set of the series western The Dakotas starring Jack Elam via UPS. Very very hard to find.

They only shot one season because of the public up roar of a shooting in a church.

Nice right who knows I might even deliver it myself just kidding I think?

But either way you will get it smile

A generous offer, but as your consigliere I would advise everyone not to take it.

I remember Branded.

this might be pushing the limits but couldn't Kung Fu be considered a western?

Warren Oates is on an old "Gunsmoke" right now. Most of you guys only remember him as Sergeant Hulka in "Stripes." But he was a pretty good character actor earlier in his career, especially in western roles. He passed away fairly young from what I remember.

I think that definitely it could. Also, it is probably the slowest motioned program ever presented rivaled only by the Six Million Dollar Man.

I'm watching "Bonanza." Little Joe is teaching a deaf mute girl how to communicate. Now I liked Landon. He was a Queens guy and very likable. But he had to be one of the most melodramatic actors in the history of television. I mean, did he ever do an episode of "Little House" or "Highway to Heaven" where he didn't cry? lol

Does "Kung Fu" with David Carradine qualify as a western? I used to love that show.

What was that other western made in the 70's that was a takeoff of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid? The one actor committed suicide and they had to replace him. I forget the name but i used to watch that one too.

paladin was always the best. I loved that holster of his with the chess piece on it. Richard boone was in another western called "hec ramsey" anyone remember that one.
