I love the westerns that dominated television when I was a boy. Lately, I've taken to watching episodes online. Westerns have a bit of a tag as simplistic and violent, but some of the best ones tell solid stories and keep violence in check. They can be taken as a window on the society that created and watched them-- a society perhaps more confident about itself and what it believed to be important than American society is today.
Anyway, watching them now relaxes me and makes me happy. Maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old.
