Does any one else watch old westerns on TV?
 

TV shows or movies? I have a channel or two that constantly come with the 50-70’s stuff. Often tacky but it’s Americana.

yup, GRIT and INSP every once in awhile (dish network channels)

Weekly

Joel Mcrea.
Randolph Scott
John Wayne
James Garner
Clint Eastwood

And many more on Grit & Outlaw

Sadly, I can't. My dad LOVED them and even flipping channels past them makes me sad. He had them on all the time.

My dad was a fan of The Dirty Dozen. I try to watch it whenever it comes on. Kind of like hanging out with him.

My 84 year-old buddy does, black and white shit from the '30s and '40s, WTF.

He's retarded anyway.

Gunsmoke everyday

Nah ~

But I did watch " Yellowstone " and it's Prequels on Paramount +

Hell yeah ! Free PLUTO TV has separate channels for the 'greats' of the 50s/60s, a Paladin channel, Gunsmoke channel, Rawhide channel, Lone Ranger channel, etc..

Some of its corny, some comedic, lots of simple drama but nearly all of it still watchable. And a stark contrast to the woke bullshit we have today - no vile dialogue and minorities represented in realistic proportions and in important but not inflated roles...saw a black trail hand on Rawhide just last evening..

Native-Americans however get screwed quite a few times depicted as savage murderers...

Yellowstone was awesome. And I’m not typically one to get into those series type movies. But I was hooked good on that one.
It ended poorly though.

Didn't watch Yellowstone even though I like Costner, but, predictably, every city yokel with a few bucks is now buying a mini-ranch in Montana, including a neighbor who moved there recently. It'll be another ruined locale like so many...

Growing up my father watched westerns,westerns and westerns.

nope

What's his member name here?

I remember Fess Parker in the Davy Crockett movie "King of the Wild Frontier", within a week every kid, including my inner-city ass, had a coonskin cap and a toy flintlock pistol.

Goofy twit running around the grubby streets of Pittsburgh 'huntin grizz'. Great times.

When I do specifically sit and watch TV for a break, it's usually a western.

Gunsmoke
Laramie
Life and Times of Wyatt Earp
Tales of Wells Fargo

Yep. '50's--'70's are my favorites, but some '30's-'40's are epic (Stagecoach, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, etc.) and some 90's stuff is excellent (Unforgiven, Tombstone, The Quick and the Dead, etc.) I love the genre.
