I loved this show!

I haven't seen this show since it aired back when I was in high school. I think it was my favorite TV western and there were a good number of them on TV back in those days. It has been so long since I've watched Laredo I can't remember much about the show. I would love to see an episode again just to see what it was I liked so much about it!

It is now on Encore Westerns channel.

I also love Laredo.It was a rare TV-western in that it featured as much comedy in it as it did action/adventure. That made Laredo standout to me since most TV-westerns are generally played as quite serious with not much room for humor.The premise of it being about the Texas Rangers also intrigued me.The rangers were a legendary law enforcement group & outlaws had little desire to go up against them.The characters themselves were terrific too.Captain Parmalee was the epitome of a leader,Reese was tough,scruffy & bellowing,Chad was a ladies man & quick draw(Peter Brown was in fact one of the fastest draws for real in Hollywood),William Smith was rugged & the top tracker of the rangers,& Eric was something else period.The chemistry between them all made the show work so well.I especially liked the upgrade in the western outfits for both Chad & Joe during the second season.Chad got the bib style blue shirt,new gun belt & hat.Joe received a sharp looking buckskin shirt with American Indian designs on it.Laredo is my favorite TV western series to this day followed by The High Chaparral.

It was a great show. I've been watching it on the Encore Westerns Channel. It definitely should have ran longer than just two seasons. Lucky for us, the seasons were a lot longer than today's shows.
