4.5 out of 5 stars from 635 ratings
  • Great show!

    Despite the shift in advertising (I think it’s already been well covered by previous comments), the shows are great. I love the rotation and especially enjoy the lesser known Dr Sixgun and Frontier Town, along with the steady stream of Gunsmoke and the Lone Ranger.
