Where To Watch
Who did it better: Gunsmoke or The Rifleman?
Both classic Westerns had outlaw doppelgangers, vengeful widows and amnesia episodes. Pick which show you like more!
In terms of sheer longevity, no other Western can compete with Gunsmoke. It was one of the first cowboy shows on TV in the Fifties and was still airing episodes two decades later.
But The Rifleman ran for five successful seasons and has remained popular to this day. The father-son relationship at the show’s core differentiates it from most other Westerns. Add an iconic, towering hero and plenty of action-packed storylines and you’ve got yourself a fantastic series.
Both Gunsmoke and The Rifleman have devoted fans, many of whom like both shows. We certainly do. But if you had to choose between the two, which would you go with?
