Jim in Anchorage Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I have been watching a lot of old TV shows lately on the Internet and gunsmoke surprised me with it's plot and character development. I just expected a shoot em up cowboy show but it's pretty cool how they weave the story. Any others I should be aware of?

I've never been into westerns,but if you like them,check out Bonanza or Have Gun,Will Travel (one of my brothers favorites). I used to love Rat Patrol and Combat when I was a kid.

Think the "character development" of Miss Kitty would float today?

dib Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Catch 'Combat' on DVD. Each show is like a morality play with action.

I started tivoing gunsmoke recently too; haven't started watching them yet though (I was motivated to do so because I started getting into Bonanza recently, which is also great!).

James Arness's brother played the 'Thing' in the original movie of the same name

erynthered Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Dont forget "Hogan's Hero's" Funny clips!!
dib Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Dont forget "Hogan's Hero's" Funny clips!! I wonder why they never made a sitcom about Japanese prisoner of war camps?
DieHardFan Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Have Gun Will Travel [currently reruns on Encore Westerns) May take a few shows to develop a taste for it as Richard Boone became the stereotypical bad guy later in his career and his Paladin character in the show comes off rather pompous at first. But if you like westerns with good plots and character development you will enjoy it..
