We have a lot of old movies, too, but I’ve also started to collect TV westerns on DVD. The heroes were always strong, intelligent, and good with a gun - which is usually how they saved the day. (My favorite is “The Texan” with Rory Calhoun.) I reckon liberals will censor these old TV shows one day. Can’t have youngsters getting the notion that guns are good for keeping law and order.
We have the Western channel here and Me-TV which plays The Rifleman. Sometimes I watch The Rifleman on Saturday mornings and keep tabs on how many people Chuck Conners shoots before the first commercial break!
When I mentioned this to a relative of mine, he said that The Rifleman was originally condemned by critics for violence. Poor Mark must have been traumatized!

Same here. I got lots of old RANDOLPH SCOTT, Joel McCrea, and Gary Cooper movies. Many many others.
Lots of dramas from the 30s through the 70s.
