Great Western Movie Themes : Wagon Train

[BoyCharioteer]

Yes, lets just airbrush the red indian out of history or use him for target practice or something. As long as Hollywood's rose tinted view of the indigenous population can be covered by music which makes us all feel "goosebumpy" I guess it's ok.

Heavens to Murgatroid! THANKS so much for posting this classic TV Western theme! Composed by the late great Jerome Moross..a true genius. And the composer of one of my all time fave movie soundtracks: 1958's "The Big Country". You've MADE my day & my week! CHEERS, mate !!! :)

nice

Those were the good old days! Rawhide, Wagon Train, Bonanza, The Big Valley, Gunsmoke, and don't forget The Lone Ranger. Saturday mornings and even primetime TV was at it's best during the 1960's

I recall as a boy, my dear old dad used to watch every western ever made on TV. No complaints from us kids. We loved it. And yes there were morals to the stories, and the writing was first class. I miss those days. I miss my dad and I miss my youth. I miss the days when cussing was forbidden and violence on screen was left to the imagination. I miss the days when TV stars weren't coke-fiends or worse. I feel sorry for the kids these days, because they'll never know how good we had it.

The absolute best Western on TV as a child. I loved each character. I learned to cook biscuits over an open fire just like Wooster did...after several tries. I loved to 'old pioneer' stories with Ward Bond.

[TJGeorge1369]

love the comments..also, these series, given Hollywood license, actually made the history of the west come alive to many of us...again, Hollywood version of the west, but many of us also realized it was Hollywood's version. anyway, never see tv shows like this again, apparently because of the bad influence on American society in general, but hey, we all know things are so much better today??

This brings back memories.

R.I.P. Ward. You were one of the best and will always have a special place to everyone who knew you both onscreen and off.

hEY RONETTELOVERZ, VERY FUNNY ABOUT THE FEMININE SIDE. THIS MUSIC GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS AND SOOOO MANY MEMORIES.

[ronetteloverz]

Oh, I forgot one more reason:

D: There were morals to these stories. Not anymore.

[thetallscot]

Amen to that! Right was right and wrong was wrong!

[ronetteloverz]

Would be great to see a series exactly like this on TV now.

But we won't, because:

A: Not enough blood and guts

B: No computer graphics

C: No wagonmasters finding their feminine side

[zipper179]

@ronetteloverz And, don't forget:

D. No cussin'

E. Not enough taking off clothes

F. Nobody's a homo

G. Or, a sicko

[SaddleUp1961]

Wagon Train...before we went to sleep, we kids used to make up stories about being on a wagon train heading West. Westerns and our majestic country were such an integral part of our lives in the 1950's. Who'd have imagined that it would one day be gone forever.

[rsjtoday]

I use to watch this show on Saturdays with my Grandfather how I miss those days and my grandfather

[mike1703100]

@rsjtoday I used to watch this with my grandfather was great

[BH206L3]

I miss Ward Bond and Duke Wayne. Its just not the same. what I would give to see 'THE SEARCHERS' on the big screen.

[misspaddylee]

Stirring stuff. Memories of an outstanding series.

Com: Jerome Moross

[river2walk]

I and you both my friend!...It was an exceptional series with strong storylines and charactors and, of course that classic western music!..lol

[redredreds100]

@river2walk how did tv go from Wagon Train, Rawhide and the likes to the bachelor,

survivor and all that crap?? TV did not get bad, people did

[twoslices]

Loved this series.
