>Sure, although the 50s and 60s were without doubt the high water mark of TV westerns. You left out some of the most popular -- "Gunsmoke", "Bonanza", "Rawhide". Rowdy Yates in "Rawhide" was Clint Eastwood's first role of note.

I forgot Bonanza (how could one?), but I've included Gunsmoke in a later branch, and not included Rawhide as it was all repeated on Channel 4 a few years ago. You sure Rawhide was Clint's first? Was that before he was Cookie ("lend me your comb") in "Hawaiian Isles" (or was it "77 Sunset Strip"?)
