I like western and I watch Lonesome Dove and Commanche Moon at least once a month. Throw in Broken Trail and Open Range and I’m set for weeks. LOL!!

I haven’t seen Comanche Moon in some time. What’s usually on is McMurtry’s Dead Man’s Walk (the Westerns Channel). To me, the least of the series is Streets of Laredo. My biggest problem with it is the license McMurtry takes with historical characters such as Judge Roy Bean. Bean was not shot by some crazy Mexican kid. And at that time of the story, John W. Hardin was likely in jail in Florida, or out and practicing law and gambling.

I saw Broken Trail as the mini-series but haven’t seen it since. Great, well-made movie. I have Open Range on DVD as well as Lonesome Dove. Thinking about picking up Appaloosa on Blu-Ray. My son gave me a Border’s gift card for Christmas and I looked for it, but it wasn’t available. So I bought a couple books. I’ll have to check with my local rental place...
