    One of my earliest movie theatre memories was seeing The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean on the big screen.

      anyone ever seen this film ?? Purgatory I think it was a made for tv movie but I really liked it Purgatory (1999) (TV)
      Great movie! Great cast. That's from when TNT was doing a good western a year.

      My dad reared me on westerns. Favorites would be Unforgiven, Outlaw Josey Wales, Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Tombstone, Open Range, The Shootist, Shane, Lonesome Dove (which definitely transcended TV)...the list could go on, but those come to mind first. Not QUITE a western, but I do like Dances with Wolves. Great movie, despite some of Costner's later misfires.

      Favorite western TV show? Well besides the Lone Ranger, I always liked Gunsmoke. Liked Bonanza okay, and although I only saw a few episodes, I always liked James Garner, so Maverick would have probably been up there, had it been syndicated more near me as a kid.

        Well, I don't like any movies, but I like The Big Valley, Kung Fu, Daniel Boone, and the Filmation Lone Ranger cartoon. I loved Lee Majors as Heath Barkley, and David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine. (RIP)

        BTW...are anyone's kids into Westerns? Most kids aren't these days. Though my class does like the Filmation Lone Ranger series.

          My youngest (12) has no interest in Westerns but my oldest daughter now 18will still wake up early with me on a Sunday to either watch a good western on AMC or pop in a dvd.

          I think I'm pretty lucky, I don't know to many youg girls who do that?.....

                    I really hated that episode. I liked Bonanza until I saw that one.

                    Reminds me of when George Reeves met the little green martians. I liked that but THAT was Superman. Westerns aren't supposed to be quite so far fetched. Oh well.

                      I'm with you on that. Even the big hole in Bad Bob's Belly couldn't ruin that. It was and Is classic. Loved the BAR / I mean Bear!

                            One western TV show I did not like was How the West Was Won with James Arness.

                            Arness is fantastic, but I just didn't like that show.


                            Also, I forgot to mention I also like Wild Bill Hickok with Jingles.

                            That was a great show

                                I really liked the theme song for branded,that was cool.
