I watched the Winnetou westerns as a kid. They weren't all that good but I did'nt notice that as a kid. I thought they were great back then. If anybody formed our inner picture of the Wild West, it was people like John Wayne and Gary Cooper etc. Of course, it might have been different in Germany where Karl May's books about Winnetou always were popular.
Who's the guy with the rifle then? ;)

Usually wrong.
Okay. I have to confess. I like John wayne. I love westerns. But what tears me up (both as in rips me up and brings tears mto my eyes) is goddamned Little House on The Prarie. Maybe it's because I have daughters, the family connection, but shit, the stories are good (squeaky clean and American pie wholesome, but also grounded in real history) and they work, they pull the strings, and Pa is fixing up an old set of wagon wheels to sell, and Mr. Edwards brought Christmas presents, trudging through icy streams -- how can you not love that? I know, I know...
give me The Waltons any day....;)

Little House On The Prairie is rather sentimental but I like (most of) the episodes too, and I love Mr. Edwards, he's quite a character.
Some of the episodes have a bit of social critique in them. I remember an episode about a traveling preacher ripping off people and causing harm by getting people to rely on God's miracles instead of the doctor, just as the (TV) preachers do nowadays.

I like John Wayne in "The Marshall" and in "Hatari"(that`s no western , i knew)
but the first "Western book" I read in the sixties is from J.F. Cooper "The last Mohikan" and I always want to be an Indian like Chingachgook when i was ten years old. I buy a wig at carnival , do some stripes on my jeans , a leather west and painting myself to look like him .
I knew "The Waltons" and "Little House on the Prairie" , but that`s no western .
And Winnetou was the greatest shit on earth for me ,although Stewart Granger and Lex Barker was one of the actors in Winnetou .
Of course, John Wayne , James Stewart , Henry Fonda , Robert Mitchum , Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster are my Western Heroes . And later Eastwood , better ,harder , stronger than anyone else.
