I have been watching one of my broadcast tv channels called Grit and it has all westerns. I'm really enjoying it. Some shows and movies I've never seen. Nothing like a good ole Western!:love_heart:

Do you like or watch Westerns on tv? What channels (s)?
 

Yes and no. I have a couple old series I got interested in because Rick liked them. The Rifleman and Have Gun Will Travel. I watch them both on MeTV. Not a western, but also have become addicted to Perry Mason
 
I love them,,,, I don't get much of a chance to watch them any more, but I've loved Westerns since I was a child. If I'm at home on a dull rainy Sunday I'll seek out an old episode of Bonanza or Gun , or the Virginian or a John Wayne film on TV ..they're pretty much the only genre of movie I can watch the whole way through in one sitting
 

My dad and I used to watch westerns anytime they were on TV, or we would go to the movies to see the John Wayne movies. The western shows on TV were good and back in the 50’s and early to mid 60’s, the tube was loaded with them. Of course, I liked The Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, Johnny Yuma, Paladin, The Rifleman, Lawman and so many others. I wasn’t a big fan of Bonanza, except if the show was mainly about Hoss.

My favorite John Wayne movie was “The Shootist.” It was a very believable movie. My all time favorite western was a Clint Eastwood movie titled, “Unforgiven.” Next was, “Pale Rider.”

I've loved them since I was a kid, too. I'm watching a John Wayne film now with Anne Margaret. Bonanza has been one of my all time favorites. They have some shows on Grit that I've never seen before.
 
I like the westerns from the 50's and 60's that were on TV. The hubby puts on the really old Westerns. Gene Autry,Roy Rogers and even a silent Tom Mix movie from when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I don't mind a black and white movie but no sound is a bit to much for me.

Cool, Ruth~
 
I like some Westerns - especially the ones with Clint Eastwood - "High Plains Drifter" & "Pale Rider." Besides the humor, there is usually justice - which usually doesn't exist in real life.

I love Clint Eastwood! Those were excellent westerns! I like them for the humor and justice angle too.

Cool. Grit is a great channel I think. I don't get the other channels, or I don't think I do-have to check my channel lineup on Philo.

Love all the old ones, esp Shane. Newer favorites are Tombstone (cult member here!) and Kevin Costner's Open Range. I didn't like Open Range the first time I saw it, but watched it again and fell for it.

I never really liked westerns and I wouldn't watch them on my own, but when I was a kid I used to watch them with my older brother (RIP). He watched Bonanza (I liked Little Joe), Gunsmoke, Lone Ranger, Have Gun Will Travel, etc. I haven't watched one of those old shows in years.

We always watched those ones as kids, too. :)
 
I watch Grit once in awhile but commercials tend to derail my attention span. At least it perked up my interest in westerns, so I borrowed the DVD One-Eyed Jacks with Marlon Brando from the library. Excellent, excellent. Two thumbs up!
