Does Little House On The Prairie count as a western series. I’ve been caring for my mother in law who has dementia and we must have watched at least 50 episodes in the last month. 🤪

You know I just realized that I really didn’t see any westerns in a theater growing up other than Blazing Saddles in 1974. Maybe a few more.
And the one and only John Wayne western I ever saw in a theater was The Searchers a few years ago in 35mm at the Loews Jersey.
I would have loved to...
