Deadwood is not only the greatest western tv show it’s also arguably the greatest western across all mediums (tv, film, theater, book etc) as well as a worthy contender for greatest tv show of all time. As an artistic endeavor it’s simply peerless thanks in no small part to its genius (and I do mean that literally) creator David Milch.

1883 is an absolutely masterful series and I am shocked it is not number one. Firefly was good but was sadly cancelled, whereas 1883 is a self contained and complete work, thus elevating it in my opinion. If you have not seen this, do yourself a favour and watch it because it is perfectly cast, beautifully filmed, brutally realistic, has an amazing theme and music throughout and is completely amazing. Do not be put off because it is a prequel to Yellowstone, you can watch this in complete isolation and nothing is spoiled

The host describes it as the "Gold Standard." I can't disagree. It might be the greatest TV show of all time, no matter what genre. (All due respect to The Sopranos and The Wire)

“Lonesome Dove” was second only to “Deadwood,” and if I were to rewatch it again, I might say it surpasses “Deadwood,” yet you didn’t mention it. “The Rifleman” was a great series, presenting a compact morality tale in under a half hour every week and showing the loving bond between a father and a son and the lessons the son learns on his way to manhood, including those involving his father’s human frailties. A western doesn’t have to be “dark” or “gritty” to be great. Both of those shows rank in the top five, “Lonesome Dove” at one or two and “The Rifleman” at around five or maybe six. It was certainly better than “Hell on Wheels,” which was a very good show.

Lonesome Dove is considered a mini-series so it wouldn't fit on a list with long running tv shows. But I agree, Lonesome Dove is amazing. If Just Westerns makes a Top 5 or Top 10 Western Mini Series, it would be top 1 or 2.

Great list of the contemporary Western TV shows. However, for its time period of the late fifties to early sixties "Have Gun will travel" starring Richard Boone was the best Western Tv Show of all time. It had all the trappings of a Western plus it showcased a great deal of social issues such as bigotry, inequality, and the horrible treatment of immigrants and women. Paladin's character played magnificently by Richard Boone was sophisticated, debonaire, a ladies' man, and at the same time tough as nails with a quick draw of his weapon. He was a gentleman administrator of justice, but he had a price.

Just watch it and if you don't agree then i repect your opinion. Would won at least best picture at the oscars at the time.

How is it possible that of all the westerns from The Lone Ranger until now none make your list except the weird shows of recent years. I watched a few episodes of Westworld and Hell on Wheels and found them boring, way too talky, and generally annoying. I watched all but the last episode of 1883 and have never watched the last episode and never will because I am offended that they hook you in too the main character and then kill her off. She could have gotten pregnant by her Native American Husband and decided to stay close to his people instead of going on to Oregon. That would have achieved the purpose of explaining the settling in Wyoming and allowed a happy ending, complete with a strong female lead going forward.

Between 1949 and the late 1960s there were over 100 Western TV shows on the air, and none of them were included here. At the very least, I'd put the writers of those shows up against any of the writers of these shows on IMDB's list. That generation knew how to write simple compelling stories without relying on meta-gimmicks. Not saying there weren't stinkers, but to not include any of them here is showing their ignorant hand. Have Gun Will Travel, Wanted Dead or Alive, Gunsmoke, Tate, Tales of Wells Fargo, Death Valley Days, Zane Grey Theatre, Trackdown, Maverick, Rawhide, etc.
