Have Gun Will Travel

[DLM]

Ever wish you could see those old shows you used to watch as a kid.

The other day I was channel surfing and found a channel (directtv) that ran old westerns. I checked out the schedule, set the recorder, and now every evening I get to watch Have Gun Will Travel, Cheyenne and Lawman. That's' three hours of seeing the cowboy heros of my youth and not the crap they have on now days.

Pallidan just caught an escaped killer in the mountains of Wyoming, then had to shoot him in a standoff.

Cheyenne is in the process of helping a lady saloon owner keep from getting pushed out of her place by a shiftless skunk.

Next I will find out what kind of desperado the Lawman is going to bring to justice.

Now anyone under 55 probably has not idea what I am talking about, but there is a bunch of you that do.

What was your favorite old show?

I liked a lot of those listed but my all time favorite was the Guns of Will Sonnet with Walter Brennan. What channel, name not number is it?

 

[DLM]

On directtv the all western channel is "Encore".

Thanks, just went to my cable TV provider's site and typed in "Encore" and got the corresponding channel #. The wife always complains that there is never anything good on TV. We'll see what she thinks of old westerns. LOL!

How about favorite actors? Gene Autry, Randolph Scott, Walter Brennan, Jane Russell, Clint Walker, John Wayne,Errol Flynn,Jim Davis,Vivian Leigh, Robert Stack, there are so many I've gone brain dead trying to name them. Not only did a lot of the old timers contributed to westerns but don't forget the war effort of World War II. I watch the encore westerns channel all of the time. AMC channel use to show a lot of these as well as other older movies. FMC & TMC are also good channels for old movies. I tend to shy away from Showtime, HBO or any other modern movie channels.

I hear you guys,man those were good old days .Three channels,not much on but some really good shows in what you got.It was easy to figure who was good and who was bad and the bad guys paid in the end.TBS used to have the BIG SHOTS movies on saturday night ,lots of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood (when he was still Eastwood) films. When the kids were little we watched lots of the good old stuff on saturday night.movie89586
