I thought this video was pretty cool, and very nicely done. I grew up in the 60's and like most kids back then, was a big TV cowboy fan. If you are old enough, it will bring back some memories! Enjoy!

Got to love Willie....cool vid.

The Western Channel is on whenever I'm by myself. The wife even gets into it once in awhile. Maverick, The Rifleman, Gene and Roy, Wild Bill Eliot, and of course there's always the best like Randolph Scott.

I wish they'd bring back the Cisco Kid, Paladin, Wagon Train, Branded, Sugarfoot, and Rin Tin Tin...then I'd never have to grow up..."Where's my Fanner Fifty?

I can remember Hoppy coming to Hobart and I must have only been 8 or 9 then. He rode a white horse up the main street and held a performance at the Strand theatre and I thought it was fantastic! They had an old John Wayne movie on tv a week or so ago it was called Fort Apache. Shirley Temple and Henry Fonda were co. stars and it was in black and white!

I used to like watching Rawhide,Wagon Train. About 40 years ago, during the school holidays, they ran episodes of Gene Autry, Hopalong and RoyRogers every day and I had to watch them. I think I enjoyed them more than the kids.

The first cowboy comic book I can remember was I think, called Captain Justice. Can anyone else remember this comic?

There are no good western tv shows these days are there?

Used to love the character Gabby Hayes in the old shows!

I actually belong to a TV and Movie Westerns yahoogroup list, and you all are sounding like a lot of those members...that was great tv though...I'm 40 myself, but Dad used to always watch those types of shows. In fact, when Breyers models came out with Trigger, and a video to go with it, I bought it for him. We loved Roy Rogers. There are some good newer movies though - Tombstone comes to mind right off.

Timberwolf....thanks for that. For some of us old guys raised with a western heritage, that's a geat trip down memory lane.

I grew up watching Roy Rogers movies on TV every Sunday after church. He was my hero growing up. It was a easy going time back them. I just bought a 3 CD set of Roy's old music. Happy times. I guess every time I ride I still feel a little like 'ol Roy.

If seeing Roy smile didn't make you smile, you had a hard heart, that's for sure. Clint Black (country singer) often reminds me of him.

Just so you folks know it's not just your generation, I'm only 28, my favorite shows growing up were wagon train, gunsmoke, the rifleman and the lone ranger. I bet I've seen every movie the Duke was in. I'm with rdb on Randolph Scott being one of the best but I like to watch Audey Murphy too. It's a shame that these are not the mainstream tv series anymore. I have a 7month old and I wish he could grow up with them like I did, I guess we'll be paying for the westerns channel so that he can at least see some of them.
