I've been watching the half hour Gunsmoke episodes the last few weekends. They're really good. It's the first time I've seen any of them besides the pilot.

Gunsmoke, the black and white episodes with Chester, HANDS DOWN

Here are my favorite western series:

1. Bonanza
2. The Big Valley
3. Gunsmoke (both the Chester and Festus eras)
4. The Lone Ranger
5. Bat Masterson
6. Stagecoach West
7. The Rifleman

I'm also a Daniel Boone fan, though it's an 18th century frontier series unlike westerns set in the 19th or later.

I voted for Gunsmoke, although I really like Bonanza. I liked the way Festus and Doc picked at one another, I thought they were great working together.

I love them all (also Maverick, Cheyenne and Rifleman), but I voted for Bonanza, probably because it's the non-kiddie western that I've loved my whole life. A bit of nostalgia swayed the vote.

I voted for Have Gun Will Travel. Richard Boon'e Paladin was the full package. IMO the writing for the show was at a higher level than Gunsmoke or Bonanza.
