I would also recommend Have Gun Will Travel as worth getting - especially if you can find the complete series set for $45 which is what I think I paid last year for it from Amazon. I’ve been savoring rather than rushing through the show so I’m not even at the halfway point, but it’s fantastic, with some episodes that are truly timeless.
Man, though, it's tough. It's one of the few shows I cn just keep watching. I cannot stop at one or two. I at least crank through a whole disc beofre putting the set back on the shelf. It's that good.

Hi all I just joined.I am a big fan of classic tv westerns and movies.Some of my favs are Bonanza,Tales of Wells
Fargo,Lawman,Laramie,Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp,Have Gun,Will Travel.I love watching Laramie and Tales of Wells Fargo in HD and I downloaded both series.Cisco Kid and Roy Rogers are also lots of fun. It would be great to see Adventues of Rin Tin Tin available and uncut in good video quality.
Thanks for the link.I do have the complete HGWT series on dvd.I always enjoy seeing Paladin whip out his hidden derringer
when the bad guy thinks he has the drop/upper hand on him.And he does look cool dressed all in black.Likewise my fav Cartwright Adam in Bonanza. I am considering buying an external blu ray writer/burner for my laptop so I can make a homemade bluray set of of Laramie and Tales of Wells Fargo. THE Virginian is streaming on Amazon prime but it has those annoying IMBD ads in each episode.
I don't know how to navigate this forum. I'm new. I hear that you're the moviebuff around these here parts. I wanted someone's help to identify a western tv show. I have very little information. It's a black and white western tv show. The main character is a sheriff. The one episode I watched was when he was defending a town from bandits, but no one in the town wanted to help. He goes to church, and the bandits call him out. He goes out to defend the townspeople alone. The preacher goes to defend him, and one by one the oldest and most crippled people of the town go to defend the sheriff. So the sheriff is about to face off with some bandits with the church people who go to defend the town with him, but he tells the lead bandit to face him alone, and basically tells the bandit he has no courage for fighting elderly people. So the sheriff and bandit face each other alone, and the sheriff wins.I always avoided collecting this genre for some reason. I only had "The Big Valley" and "The Loner." I am now collecting "Bonanza" and "The Wild, Wild West." I don't need every western ever made, but I would like some opinions as to what I should have in my collection to make it well-rounded. I own 135 series on dvd and blu-ray, but many are sitcoms, animation, fantasy, and drama. Anyway, here are the series I am considering. Please add to my list if you want:
1. Gunsmoke
2. The Rifleman
3. Wagon Train
4. Wanted: Dead or Alive
5. Maverick
6. Laramie
7. The Virginian

Technically, I wouldn't call The Wild Wild West a western*. It just happened to take place in the same time period as many westerns. It was basically a spy program. Would you call F Troop a western?I always avoided collecting this genre for some reason. I only had "The Big Valley" and "The Loner." I am now collecting "Bonanza" and "The Wild, Wild West."
