TopBilled Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Fans of classic western television series, take note: The Virginian leaves the airwaves at the end of the month. So does Maverick and Cheyenne. Instead, we will now have Laredo, the half-hour version of Gunsmoke, and reruns of Rawhide. There is an all-day marathon of Laredo on December 31st, an all-day marathon of Rawhide on January 1st, then an all day marathon of the 30-minute episodes of Gunsmoke on January 2nd. _Here is the new line-up of western TV series:_ *Monday thru Friday afternoon:* Lawman Have Gun - Will Travel Laredo Wagon Train Rawhide Gunsmoke (half-hour) Gunsmoke (half-hour) Gunsmoke (one hour) *Saturday morning:* Laredo Wagon Train Have Gun - Will Travel Gunsmoke (half-hour) Rawhide Also leaving the airwaves are the Saturday morning reruns of BRET MAVERICK, CIMARRON STRIP and HOW THE WEST WAS WON.

wouldbestar Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 {font:Times New Roman} {font}{font:}{color:black}We just started getting MeTV which just quit the 30 minute *Gunsmoke* episodes so this is the chance to finally see them again after a long time. The others are welcome additions. The rest have run their course. We'll all adjust.{font} {font:Times New Roman} {font} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 I will miss The Virginian, but at least the first five seasons including Men of Shiloh are now on DVD. I am eager to see those Rawhide episodes again. I wonder if they will ever show Bonanza...it is a Paramount production, and Encore airs mostly Universal features and television series.
