I used to love the "lone cowboy" type of tv western, as opposed to the - what I call- "domestic" westerns. High Chapperal, Wagon Train and Bonanza all dealt with families to a degree. In Wagon Train most episodes centred on one family/group travelling with the Wagon Train. My favourite episodes of Wagon Train were where Flint would go off from the train and get involved in some sort of adventure. BTW, I hope we can all sing the themes to all these westerns. Just type "tv western themes" into the Youtube search box and grab a dose of nostalga.
