Top 50 Western TV Shows Of All Time

The other day we had a discussion trying to identify the top 20 western movies of all time and we created our own list.  The top 20 movie discussion caused to wonder about which are the top western TV shows.  So we turned to IMDb.  Below is IMDb’s list of top Western TV shows based upon viewers votes which we found to be a fascinating list as we had not heard of many of these shows.  Looks like we have some TV binging in our future….
