Which was a better Western........Gunsmoke or Bonanza?

[rightwinger]

I used to love Bonanza but watching it now it seems the writing and acting was kind of corny. Can you get any more racist than Hop Sing?

Gunsmoke has held up well. Good acting and good screenwriting. They also covered more socially relevant issues

It´s Django voted illegally.

Django Unchained was a really good Western. It was like an entire movie made from the best scenes of Inglorious Basterds, but with cowboys and slave-owners instead of hero's and Nazi's.

Eh, wasn't really big on either one. Now F Troop on the other hand.........

I don't remember Gunsmoke so much. Bonanza was one of the family stalwarts. I liked Rawhide best. Rolling, rolling rolling....keep those doggies rolling. Sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax.

F Troop was like a mini-documentary on the Old West

Never figured out the relationship between Capt Parmenter and Jane though

Um a Chinese cook was not terribly uncommon in houses with wealthy owners.

I was never very big on any of the TV western series I preferred western movies, to a degree besides I still don't watch much TV even now. I'm probably one of the very few who truly hated the spaghetti westerns with a passion, yes that includes the Clint Eastwood ones. Loved the old John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart ones but laugh at most of them now.

Not the fact that they had a Chinese cook but the stereotyped dialogue they had him say

The Man who shot Liberty Valance was a good Western

Silverado was a good western...... from an entertainment standpoint....... Young Guns was a good western from an entertainment standpoint, Tombstone...... well, you know where this is going.

That was a good one!

One of my favorites as a kid...

 

[OffensivelyOpenMinded]

I might catch some friendly fire over this, but neither one really were all that interesting to me.

Festus was worth watching Gunsmoke.
