If there's one genre that is quintessentially American, it's the great Western. Visions of swinging saloon doors, tumbleweeds, spurs, and dusty hats fill the frames, accompanied by a soundtrack of single twangy notes and gunfire. The Western is a genre of fiction that takes place, typically, in the latter half of the 19th century in the "Old West," where most states were still territories and lawlessness was baked right in. Stacker compiled data from IMDb, as of May 2020, on all Western TV series and ranked them according to IMDb user scores, ties broken by votes. To qualify, the series, miniseries, or limited series had to have at least 500 IMDb user votes. Sometime in the near future, I'll create a list of All-Time Western TV Programs that don't include mini-series or shows set in the 20th century east of the Mississippi River, so stay tuned.
