Old Westerns; Whatever happened to them?

Many of these bring back memories.

Those Old Westerns

My TV is usually tuned into the Western Channel or to AMC or TCM chasing down good ol' westerns!!! Plus, Monday thru Saturday, we watch Gunsmoke at noon and Bonanza at 1:00 pm on one of the Chicago stations.

Except for the old westerns, and programming on RFD-TV and Rural-TV, there isn't much that I find worth watching on the idiot box anymore!!! Tonight is a classic example.....we watched some good country and bluegrass music shows on RFD-TV. Now we're listening to the Grand Ole Opry "Live" on Sirius Satellite radio. When that gets over, we'll turn the TV back on for more music shows on RFD-TV. Then 'Destry' (1955) with Audey Murphy comes on at 12:35 a.m. on the Western Channel!!!

Heads up that there is a new show called Longmire starting this week, set in Montana and shot in New Mexico. You might enjoy it.

When I watched "Avatar" recently I thought that it is the update of the "good indian-bad soldier" western.

I'm 100% with chris2008. Thought the same thing when Avatar came out on cable and I watched it.
