Yep, pardner. They just don't make westerns like they used tuh. Don't forget Lash LaRue, Cisco Kid (my wife has an autographed picture...her dad went to a party with Duncan Renaldo
), The Virginian, Big Valley, etc. etc.I'm going to vote for Chester, just because he seemingly made a pact with the devil and has not aged in the last 40 years. gyusher...I'm sure this has been said before...I dunno cuz I'm new...but your avatar really....bugs me.

Talking about old westerns. . .One actor that I never paid much attention to was Joel McCrea. . .not much on his regular stuff but he played a good cowboy. . . Don't care much for the 30s singing westerns. . . Some set the pace for that style today but somehow I could never get with it watching them. . .Although on a cold and rainy Saturday or Sunday morning I'm liable to watch most anything. . .Gene Autry too. . .

The singing cowboy shows are so corny. My dad still watches one (can't remember name) has a guy with a white hat and a fat sidekick. Another old western I liked was hondo(think thats right) I haven't seen it in years but me,my bro and dad watched it together.

I guess it did start getting stale or 'old' after 20 years. . Amanda Blake (Kitty) left after year 19. . .The only 2 original actors left were 'Doc' and 'Matt'. . .that made it the entire 20 year run. . .

My Dad got out of the Navy in 1946 and decided to build an underground home (true). He was ahead of his time, pictures of the old place show just what looked like an out house on an empty lot.
By the end of the 40's he had 2 daughters and a son on the way, so he built a normal house on top of the underground house. Dad liked to build things and was good at it. The Dad discovered "Gunsmoke" and had a wild (for other people, not Dad) idea. The underground house, which was now an overkill basement became the Long Branch Saloon, knotty pine walls, big bar, swingin' doors. It became a great place to play Cowboy's as a kid. I always thought Ken Curtis was great on the show until I saw The Attack of the Killer Shrews (also starring James Best). I vote Chester Goode!

TV Land must have gotten some new episodes because I hardly find one now that I have seen. . .A couple weeks ago it was tough finding one I had not seen. . .
Good on them. . .

A bit later came Steve McQueen, playing a bounty hunter in "Wanted: Dead or Alive". Unlike Gunsmoke, with it's full cast of characters, and where the hero (Matt Dillon) might not even be in a particular episode, Steve McQueen was firmly at the centre of his show, and weekly guest stars rounded out the cast. Good guest stars, usually easily recognizable as people who later had their own series. Great stuff, those old shows!

Singing cowboys??? and nobody has mentioned Gene Autry?? The local cable co has resurrected his old shows and plays them weekdays in the afternoon after work. Like coming home from school and turning on the old Philco.
Oh....another vote for Festus.
