Oh yes, you're absolutely right, there are VERY little TV shows with have got their very own, unmistakable 'character' - and unfortunately, in recent years the number has gone down to about zero
Robert Conrad is a REALLY great actor, yes; I also liked him a lot as 'Pappy Boyington' in "Black Sheep Squadron", where he was like a real 'father' for his 'black sheep' during the difficult days of War in the Pacific And Ross Martin was immensely versatile - like a kind of latter-day Chester Morris, who'd surprised us all so many times in his so many different 'roles' in the "Boston Blackie" movie series!

The best western for me was The Road West (1966), a real family show with interesting stories each week. Brenda Scott and Andrew Prine were the best in my teenage mind. It would be so great to see this again.

I must admit that I've never got to watch this one; but it sounds very interesting! Brenda Scott, I think, also played in other Western serials

Yes she did. The 2 part pilot was made into a movie called This Savage Land and it is still around today.

I'm afraid I've never seen "The Rifleman" - but "Wanted: Dead Or Alive" sure was one of my favorites!

Yeah, that one was a LOT of fun - it's time some TV station showed it in repeat for the young generation to get to know it, too!

My parents seem to love that "MeTV" channel, when I visit them they're constantly watching
Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Bonanza,
and
The Virginian
. But, I can only get into Rawhide.

Anyway, it's good to hear that those good old Western series are still being shown on TV!

I loved the Big Valley but loved it more later as Lee Majors and Linda Evans became bigger stars.
