I really like this series myself. What great actors even though I later saw Chuck Connors in a movie where he played the bad guy. I will never forget that role, he was so evil.

ReplyDeleteI remember most of the old westerns very well since those were Daddy's favorites.
I remember Gunsmoke the most. Mama would cry when Matt Dillon got shot.
