One of my favorite TV western has to be The Big Valley. Maybe because of the great story line and the characters in the show. I liked Richard Long, and Barbara Stanwyck. They were great, and it was also good to see Lee Majors and Linda Evans. And there is Peter Bereck. Just a great cast.

In retrospect, after having watched the show on recent DVD release, it seems there was an agenda there that I didn't "see" when I was kid, but is different from my perspective as an adult (of course there were only two episodes on the DVD, so maybe that wouldn't be true if I saw a bunch more).*

Hey Chester,
What do you mean by that? Maybe I understand -_- but maybe I don't.

Well,
If you want me to pick one, just one favorite TV Western, I'd have to say The Rifleman. Always liked the show as a kid who saw the show syndicated (it was before my time).
Even though I like many, this one has a place in my heart. When I was a child, 30 minutes was all I could stand before I had to go out to play, and Chuck Conners handling that rifle was totally cool. I guess the story was alright, but that rifle and the way he twirled it. What can I say?

Maybe Little House should be called a mid-western.
I agree that this is a western since it takes place in the mid late 1800's and west of the Mississippi. Maybe not the shoot-em-up as with some of the other westerns styles, but still considered a western. There is a lot of horses, and sometimes shootings. Anyway while growing up I watched this series after Gunsmoke went off the air. The show came on Mondays at the same time as Gunsmoke, just on a different network.Cheers B)
