The Trinity series of Westerns. They are some of the best flicks.

It is basically a Western sci-fi series. It should have run for several more seasons too.

Favorite TV series: Toss-up between "Lonesome Dove" and "Have Gun, Will Travel."

or Blazing Saddles.

"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."

and for movies it would be Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Once Upon a Time in the West!

Henry Fonda as the bad guy in a reversal to the roles he so often played is psychologically jarring.

Series: Rawhide.
My dad loved Wagon Train, Bonanza, & Wanted: Dead Or Alive.

Probably the most accurate accounting of the events that led up to
the gunfight at the OK Corral and its aftermath. Series, Bonanza.
I liked that they would do a comedy episode once in awhile like
"Hoss and the Leprechauns".

Shot Liberty Valence.

Movie -- Little Big Man
Cat Ballou is a close second
TV -- The Wild, Wild West

Gunsmoke…. I loved the Festus years. Lonesome Dove, I read the book before the miniseries, however, they were both great.

Our last conversation was his fascination with the cable Western Channel. (He was in rehab, learning to stand and walk.)

He went on and on about Dame Judith Anderson and Bette Davis (separately) appearing on Wagon Train. I'd say he was excited.

I hope I can find these episodes, if only to understand better his last conversation with me.

blessings to your heart. May he RIP

Movies:

The Searchers (probally the best western ever made)
The Way West
Rio Lobo
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
How the West Was Won
The Ox-Bow Incident

TV:
Rawhide
Maverick
Have Gun - Will Travel
Bonanza
Wagon Train

would be Tombstone

Maverick,The Wild,Wild West and Deadwood.

Movie: Little Big Man and Blazing Saddle

I Liked the Spagetti westerns like The Good, Bad and the Ugly. Can't stand to watch Clint Eastwood now though. But Eli Wallach was so funny as a Mexican.

The others named here, a lot sound familiar, and I'm sure I watched some of them at times as a kid.

I think Bonanza was the one I watched consistently as a kid.

Briscoe County as an adult - very clever, funny. A bit of a Science Fiction flavor at some point.

Magnificent Seven for movies.

Wire Paladin, San Francisco.

Again, not very highbrow.

I loved the jazz guitar soundtrack, the stories were good as well

and never watched Western tv shows. Three movies were Blazing Saddles, Dances with Wolves and Back to the Future 3, so I would have to say Blazing Saddles is favorite.
