Hey Phil---The Western Channel

[Bullaholic]

PHil---Did you catch all the great old western TV series re-runs on the Western Channel over New Year's? They showed "Have Gun Will Travel" and "Gunsmoke" reruns. When I was growing up, my folks never missed either of these shows. I never realized how non-violent the censors required these shows to be back in the 50's and 60's---someone would get shot only now and then, and most of the time they only got winged or hit over the head with a gun barrell, and of course, absolutely no blood was shown anytime.

Did it have any Bonanza?

I missed them Bull but they are showing an episode every week day and I will start watching them until I have seen them all. Have Gun Will Travel was one of the 30 min ones that was consistently good. This is great news indeed!

Hey Bull I think tomorow afternoon (Tuesday) they are showing the Charles Bronson episode.

Western Channel is on Dish Network right?
Wish Direct TV would add it

It is on the Dish Network. I thought Direct TV had it as an option or at least maybe they used to.

It was always my favorite channel to watch when I would stay weekends or weeks at a time in the summer with my grandpa helping him around his farm or working cows. :)

DirecTV has the western channel. Its in the 500s in the middle of HBO and Cinimax and Starz and all thoses
plus, AMC and TMC (both in the 250s) always have great western movies on
