I watched a lot of tv westerns because they were my daddy’s favorite. He might have liked this and I’m hoping more westerns make a return to the small screen! These new western are certainly 21st fare! No sugar coating either. The Big Valley, The Wild, Wild West, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, The High Chaparral (starring some really great Latino actors), Wagon Train, The Virginian, and Rawhide starring Clint Eastwood were rather tame compared to the western are now made.

Yeah, I think this might even be a little wilder even than AMC’s Hell On Wheels. It would be cool to see more period dramas set in this time period. The “modern” westerns like the show that spawned this and Justified are great but they’re not quite the same.
