This is what happened to Westerns on TV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_purge
Try the “Firefly” TV series. It’s set in the future but is basically a Western. The creator said he based it on “The Searchers.” If you like “Firefly,” there’s a follow-up movie called “Serenity.”
I’m a Western junkie too. I LOVED Deadwood. I practically cried when the discontinued it so that they could make “John from Cincinnati” which was cancelled after just a few episodes.
The Italians have been too busy fighting off muzzie invaders to make any more Westerns.
When a country no longer has values, they no longer need defending.
During his life, Buffalo Bill Cody was the single best known person in the world.
His Wild West Show toured the world.
Portrayed on the big screen several times.
(my grandfather worked in the show, when a young man)

The whole 50's the tv was filled with westerns.
Rifleman was one of my favorites.
I love westerns and watch em every chance I get.
