Does any one else watch old westerns on TV?

[Louie Detroit]

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.

[Swany00]

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

[Aerovette]

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.

[Frankie the Fink]

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...

[04 commemorative]

Growing up my father watched westerns,westerns and westerns.

[Humanoid 3.0]

What's his member name here?

[Frankie the Fink]

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.

[Taurus]

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

[GTOguy]

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.
