The Year of the Westerns

I came across this neat site (but they need to lose the lame pop-up ads), which tells you the top rated TV shows for any year from 1950 to 2000. I was born in 1960, which seems to have been the year of the western. Maybe that explains why I like them so much.

Here are the top 6 shows from 1960:

Gunsmoke
Wagon Train
Have Gun Will Travel
The Andy Griffith Show
The Real McCoys
Rawhide

Here are the top 6 from 1966, the year Raina was born (the year of the somebody show):

Bonanza
The Red Skelton Show
The Andy Griffith Show
The Lucy Show
The Jackie Gleason Show
Green Acres

And finally from 1998, the year Cassidy was born:

ER
Friends
Frasier
Monday Night Football
Veronica’s Closet
Jesse

Delaney and Luke came along after 2000, so no lists for them- at least not on that site.
