Well...I now know one that isn't, The Texan. :) But it looks like Matlock might be climbing in the rankings for the last few nights. I have to make sure to leave a little room for some Christmas movies.
last night i watched:
- Tales of Wells Fargo - Laredo (not bad, this series is still pretty...
I checked, it is on the list, and as season 3. For a Christmas show newbie like me it is a daunting list. So I've used this thread as a way to point me to some of the better one's. I don't usually attribute Westerns to Christmas stories as much as other genre's, so that is why that mention stood...

- FKB, S1
- FKB, S3
- FKB, S5
- Andy Griffith, S1
I think going forward I wil skip FKB, season 1 since season 5 does a look back at the first season episode, and the cuts made to...
