My series of posts about visiting the American West has reminded me of my post about TV Westerns .
I thought I might recycle it here…

How many of these cowboys do you remember?
ca.1963, USA — Jack Elam as Deputy J.D. Smith in the TV series “The Dakotas”. — Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS
I always wanted to be Flint McCullough from Wagon Train. He was played by actor Robert Horton. Later he was replaced by Robert Fuller as Cooper Smith who also played the Part of Vin in the film ‘Return of The Magnificent Seven’

I thought you’d lost me there. A girl with no brothers (and no TV either, so that was definitely a deal-breaker) wasn’t likely to see or want to see Westerns. I seem to have missed out on some highly implausible but entertaining evenings.

Have to say Randolph Scott especially for the ride lonesome series of films. Stoic heroism and he’s in one of my all time favourite films.. Ride the high Country.

‘Sugarfoot’ was never one of my favourites but I remember Jack Elam as Toothy Thompson. I generally preferred ‘Cheyenne’ and ‘Bronco’.

Would someone tell the Lone Ranger that his mask won’t do much to protect him from coronavirus (nor from being recognised). That last cowboy looks the toughest – as if he’s been eating lots of Milky Bars.

So tough the Hole in Wall Gang wouldn’t let him in!
I am still amazed that people couldn’t recognise the Lone Ranger!

I think the only one I recognise is James Drury the Virginian.

Most of the others were earlier – late 50s, early 60s.
