Subject: Re: Favorite episodes of "Rawhide" "Gunslinger" & "The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp"
In reply to: Tim 's message, "The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp on TV Land (2005)" on 21:10:28 03/11/13 Mon

Before the so called adult westerns, I used to watch the kid TV westerns like "The Lone Ranger," "The Cisco Kid," "Roy Rogers," etc.

I began watching the first three adult westerns with my father around the summer of 1956. Gunsmoke, Cheyenne and Wyatt Earp.
I liked those adult westerns much better than the kid stuff. Then later in the fall of 1957 thru the 1960s I got hooked on many more adult TV westerns.

Unfortunately, "Gunslinger" is one of the shows I never saw except for the one episode I have on VHS, "The Diehards." I also have a Gunslinger comic book.

There's only 12 episodes of Gunslinger but I wish it was on DVD or Encore Westerns because I'd really like to see them all. Encore Westerns ran the 13 episodes of "The Westerner" several years ago on Saturday or Sundays for about a year. So there should be no problem doing the same with Gunslinger.
There are about 5 or 6 episodes available that you can get from some sellers, but I heard the quality was awful, so I'm avoiding them.

A long time passed before I saw Wyatt Earp again.

I didn't see the first season until I bought it on DVD a couple of years ago.
I've been watching the second season on Encore Westerns. Now though, IMO, Wyatt Earp plays kinda like a kid western rather than an adult western. The reason I say this is, Earp shoots more to wound, like Roy Rogers, Cisco, or The Lone Ranger, rather than shooting to kill, like Matt Dillon, Cheyenne, Lucas McCane, etc.

Favortie Episodes:

RAWHIDE:
The Executioner
The Edge of Madness
The Shambling Man
Canliss

LIFE & LEGEND OF WYATT EARP:
Wyatt Earp Becomes a Marshal
Wyatt Comes To Wichita
The Killer
John Wesley Hardin
Dodge City Gets A New Marshal
Fight Or Run

GUNSLINGER:
