I like gunsmoke, the rifleman, wanted dead or alive, wagon train and rawhide.

Have Gun Will Travel. But Gunsmoke was probably king of the hill.

I liked them all, but the rifleman was my favorite. Has anyone ever noticed Chuck Conners used the rifle right handed in the opening scene, but during the episodes he used it with his left hand. He was left handed.

I think that the hay day of the really good westerns were made from around 1953 thru around 1963. The golden decade of westerns. Not referencing specific shows but just the western productions on general... Before all the multi million dollar productions. That was also the era of the old singing Cowboys.

He was left handed. I never noticed him shooting left handed at all. When're he he spun the rifle one handed to rack a round I thought he always done it right handed.

GUNSMOKE for me. Of course, I am kinda prejudiced for that western series.  It was the longest running series in the history of television. L.W.

I just surfed YouTube on the rifleman, apparently he was a badass with either hand!!!

I found a DVD of the old 26 Men series and have been in hog heaven. Good show. Also remember The Virginian, when my grandparents got a new color TV, and we had dinner at their place on Wednesdays (I believe) so that we could watch the 90 minutes in living color.

Gunsmoke for sure. Always liked The Rifleman. About 1/4 of Bonanza episodes are great, 1/4 mediocre, and 1/2, just plain idiotic.

When I was a kid I was very upset when mom told me Ward Bond died.

Hopalong Cassidy, Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley, Have Gun will Travel, Maverick, and the Old Ranger on Death Valley Days.
I watch some of Bonanza reruns, they used old Henry's, Colt Revolving rifles, and other interesting guns. The same guns show up every few shows.

Played professional baseball for the Dodgers & basketball for the Celtics. Have seen a clip of of him in a dodgers game where he got a big hit and was rounding the bases and he did cartwheels all the way from 2nd base down to 3rd base to a huge crowd applause and took a bow - quite a ham even then.....  The Rifleman was one of my favorites.

I liked all the westerns listed but Maverick and Have Gun will Travel were my favorites. Come to think of it , I really liked Festus.
