Our Favorite TV Westerns

This page was first developed by members of the Women's Writers' Block website, some of whom are also contributors to The High Chaparral website.  Since HC fans tend to also be fans of television Westerns it seemed fitting to have a mini-tribute to these great old shows.  Let us know if we missed one that meant a lot to you.  To read a brief overview of the show, see a picture of the cast, and learn a little behind-the-scenes trivia about it, click on any of the shows that are highlighted below.  We will be adding links (and shows) as we get a round tuitt - always an iffy proposition, but check back and you may see more links. 

If you know of a favorite fan site for any of these shows let me know and perhaps we can link to them.  I think we've got HC and Bonanza covered!  Most of these summaries and photos were contributed by Sandy Sturdivant, HC's previous webmaster.  Others were done by a variety of authors.  If one of these shows that has no link is your fave and you would like to write something about it, you too can get credited in these pages!  Let me know.

You can find HC cast members in most of these Westerns, especially those that are pre-1990.  Below our list of favorites is a list of all the TV Westerns I know of in which one of the main 12 HC actors have had roles.  Their names are linked to their filmography page that will tell you which episodes each were in.  The Links page offers other good sources of television archive information.
