Yes,folks the greatest and most popular Western of them all turns half
a century old this weekend.It was 50 years ago that John Wayne was
first seen on tv to introduce a brand spanking new Western series starring
a still unknown actor named James Arness.
50 years later and Marshal Matt Dillon,Miss Kitty,Doc Adams,Chester Goode,
Newley and Festus Haggard are some of the most familiar Western characters that American tv produced.
Only one other Western has proved to be as popular:Bonanza.

Yup, that's pretty cool! Makes me wonder how many members are knowledgeable about the show, though XD The Western channel (or is it Encore Western now...whatever ) had a marathon, don't know if it's still on right now, but has anyone else been watching it?

Not a fan, but my dad is. The show is certainly respectable for the stars it helped to launch and the stars that made guest appearances.

Tvland also had a marathon on Sunday.
I would have to say my favorite guest star of all time is Forrest Tucker.Than again
I happen to enjoy F Troop.
btw:This weekend Tvland is doing a Michael Landon Marathon all weekend long
starting at 6 a.m.Saturday morning.They'll run:Bonanza,Little House On The
Praire and Highway To Heaven.
