Which were your favorite 60s Western series?

In movies, I must admit I'm not a big Western fan; but strangely enough, in my teens when all the old sixties Western series were shown in repeats, I liked some of them so much that I never missed an episode! My favorite was "Bonanza", mainly because it was more a family story set in another time, with a great team of actors who really SEEMED like they were a family, and I also liked "High Chaparral", mostly due to 'Buck Cannon' and 'Manolito', who both had a lot of fun; and "The Big Valley", but only for great Barbara Stanwyck's sake.
What are your favorites?

Verily I say unto thee..."The Wild Wild West".

The Wild Wild West. Linda Crystal is who attracted me in The High Chapperell. Lovely. She's also a good reason to watch Wayne's The Alamo.

Of the series which premiered in the 1960s my favourites would be The Virginian and The Big Valley. I still enjoy them to this day. I wish The Big Valley dvds hadn't stopped at season 2, volume 1. I wish The Virginian dvds were less expensive.

I remember liking High Chaparral, The Road West and The Guns of Will Sonnett as well.

Maverick is my favorite Western of all-time but I mostly think of it as a 50's series even though part of it aired in the 60's. Of the shows that aired mostly in the 60's I would have to say Wagon Train followed by Wild, Wild West. I like Daniel Boone too but that show isn't really a true Western.

Another vote for Wagon Train
