Best TV Cowboy
 

here's the poll...

Chuck Connors - "The Rifleman"

He wore a cowboy hat anyways...

Matt Dillon. Not even close. Anyone with a girlfriend named Miss Kitty is cool.

Augustus McCrae, Lonesume Dove

Where's the Cisco Kid?

This is easy...

Shit, Shit, Shit.

Damn.

Went with Maverick, but mostly because he's the one that I watched the most. I can remember sitting around on Sunday evening eating tacos and watching Maverick in black and white. Great show. Plus, I'm a big James Garner fan.

Just one of those memories that sticks with you.

You forgot the real cowboy Jerry Mouse uncle tex voiced by Tex Ritter.

How could you leave out the cowboy of the 80's? ROFL

No Rowdy Yates? (Clint Eastwood)

Richard Boone was great... sorry I left him off the poll...

A true crime, also if you are going to throw in the big vally you should have gone with Linda Evans (man could she fill out those riding pants nicely, rates right up there with Emma Peel and her leather pants).

[scratching head smilie] um, yeah, actually you did include him (have gun will travel)... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Tom Mix.

Kid Rock

I really enjoyed Billy Crystal in that dude ranch movie.

On the other hand, I also enjoyed the Cartwright clan, though I always wondered if Ben Cartwright had killed his wife as part of an affair with Hop Sing and to get a big insurance settlment. That seemed like an awfully big house and ranch for a single father.

Was Zorro a cowboy?

well, he was sorta kinda like a mexican cowboy...

with a sword and a neat black outfit...

If your going to have Maverick on the list you might as well include Bronco Billy

Why would someone in Mexico go around in a black outfit? That's just asking for a sunstroke. No good cowboy would do that.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

no regular cowboy would, but this was a "good guy" who just happened to dress in black?

i dunno, it's just one of those things that i never noticed as a kid, but it doesn't make much sense does it?

Y'know, Ben Cartwright should have married Barbara Stanwyck of "The Big Valley." He was a widower with three boys, and she was a widow with some kids of her own, even if they weren't all girls. They could have called it "The Bonanza Bunch."

I wonder what happened to Barbara Stanwyck's husband? It's just too convenient to not suspect foul play in these circumstances.

John Wayne.

I am shocked that you didn't include him in the poll.

John Wayne wasn't a cowboy. He was a marine.

Completely unbelievable. A transgression like that is almost neg-rep worthy.:shake:

In Hel'n's defense, was John Wayne a TV cowboy? Or was he for the most part a movie cowboy?

He's on TV all the time.:p

What's the difference?

In TV westerns, they eventually jump a shark.

Roy Rogers, Gene Autry. This poll is flawed.

But it IS within the margin of error?

Well, maybe. But if he doesn't make it, I'll bet the shark usually goes for the horse first, so it's not that dangerous.

Singing cowboys were left off intentionally...

Singing disqualifies you from this poll...

Damn...I was about to add The Three Amigos as close compitition to Zorro.
