Finding Great Classic TV Westerns Online

By Christa Jarvis


Older people were very lucky to have watched great television shows that came on decades ago. It is quite sad that many young people now have to view classic tv westerns online since some of the shows do not run on television. Fortunately these young people will get to see some of the best actors in history while viewing these programs.

Matt Dillon was one Marshall that people refused to tango with at any given time. He was a muscular male who could kick the stuffing out of any outlaw which rode into town. Luckily "Gunsmoke" was a hit series for CBS television and people did not even care that Miss Kitty was actually a hooker. The program was so unique and every human being could really relate to the heroes and weekly villains. The late James Arness would be happy to know that people can still view this show over their computer.

The Barkley family were millionaires who loved everyone and they even had friends of different races and religions. The leading lady on "The Big Valley" was named Victoria and she would do anything to protect her children. On one episode this forceful woman even shot a man who was trying to kill her daughter. Audra, Heath and Nick can also be viewed on this series.

"Wagon Train" was an adventure series which featured an all male cast during the late 50's. Every episode featured a special guest star who would bring happiness or trouble to the wagon party. These individuals were trying to make their way to California since that was the land of great opportunity. During the years this program had a variety of actors playing in the lead roles.

Every young boy within the United States will now get the chance to witness the fearless Chuck Connors in "The Rifleman." Mr. Connors is one actor who had really enjoyed his role on that particular series. His co-star on the show still has fond memories of this late actor who could easily intimidate any other human being.

Tonto was a Native American male who was glad to be riding with the great "Lone Ranger." These two men did their best to entertain the viewers every week. The show was well received and it lasted for quite a bit of time over the television airwaves. The program also showed that a person of color could in fact become friends with a Caucasian male. This kind of diversity on television opened the doors for many other actors of color.

"The Lone Ranger" and "Daniel Boone" were identical since both programs featured a mixed friendship. The legendary Boone was based upon a real life person but some of the episodes were pure fiction. His Native American partner was a good fighter and he would never let people take advantage of Daniel or his family.

People growing up during this time period had some of the greatest shows to view each night. It is always great to know that the teens in today's world can watch Roy Rogers on their computers at any hour.
