You'd be very wrong thinking Westerns died out in the early 60s.

Westerns died on November 17th, 1978, twitching in a Sunset Ave alley, soaked in gin with its hand down its pants.

Oh wait, that's me right now.

I originally had Western too, but I didn't know if people would put a more generic 'drama' to include Westerns.

I don't need to snort crystal meth to know that I'd rather live a healthy life. But carry on, Lost fanboys. Carry on.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I have the sneaking suspicion that SciFi is gonna be a big response, but was SciFi a regular top-10 staple of 60s TV?

Doesn't matter what the 'right' answers are, only what everyone else thought.
