I miss them, and I'm trying to think, what was the last one, and when?

Sure, all those good ones.
The last I can come up with off the top of my head is the "Outlaws". That was on for a short time in 1986, staring Rod Taylor.
Dallas was of course a soap opera.

A couple weeks ago we watched an old Hopalong Cassidy show. I'd forgotten just how corny some of them were.

Bought collections of old westerns for when the grand kids come to visit. Got em cheap at Walmart. Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Annie Oakley, Hoppalong and many more. Amazingly they love em!!! Especially the singing cowboys!!!

There was Big Valley with Barbara Stanwyck, that was in the late 60's. The Guns of Will Sonnett was also in the late 60's.
Gunsmoke lasted through 1975.
Little House on the Prairie and Medicine Woman and Kung Fu were more or less westerns since they were set in the Old West but I'm sure the topic is good old shoot'em up cowboy Westerns, so I can't think of a real Western TV series beyond Gunsmoke.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

I always liked the Desperado series. I always felt sorry for his horse with him packing all that gear.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Forgot about those cable series - they really added a new dimension to the old G rated Westerns. Deadwood was a terrific show for the first two seasons and even the last one was still great.

Lawman with John Russell as Marshal Dan Troop 1958-1962.
One of the best οΏ½GunsmokeοΏ½ type westerns.
IMHO John Russell was one of the most underutilized western actors in Hollywood.
He was the bad guy in Rio Bravo that John Wayne calls outοΏ½Nathan! Nathan Burdette!
Stole every scene he was in.
Did the same thing years later as the bad guy in Pale Rider.

Yup---the entire Lawman series runs on Encore Westerns as well. Arness and Russell were 2 of the best lawmen Peter Brown went onto Laredo to play a Texas Ranger with Reese.

Trivia - which Western ran 90 minutes?
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.
