[Modern] Western Style TV series

[Angel Tarragon]

I am lookingfor a season or two of a western style TV series that isn't too old. No older than 1980. So hit me with titles, hopefully ones that aren't too bad.

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. from 1993 is the only thing to come to mind.

Firefly.

There's also Deadwood, The Young Riders, the Magnificent Seven.

Seems to me there was another western tv show about a guy who came back from the dead or something, but darned if I can recall the name. Was the name of a person, with literary (biblical?) allusions. Something like Lazarus (but that wasn't it).

[EDIT] I was thinking of the Lazarus Man.

[EDIT] I was thinking of the Lazarus Man.

It starred the late Robert Urich, known for his role in Spenser: For Hire and Vegas.

There was a Lonesome Dove series also back in the 90's, featuring Will & Grace's Eric McCormick and Harsh Realms Scott Bairstow.

While many remembered Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman, a lot of people have forgotten another Western TV series that aired with that show on Saturday, Paradise (starring Lee Horsley).

There was also Legend with Richard Dean Anderson and John de Lancie, which aired during UPN's first year (got canned shortly after too).

For something a bit different, there was what was basically a female Zorro show called "Queen of Blades". It lasted only one season according to IMDB, but I seem to remember seeing reruns of it not too long ago.

Not available on DVD though, but BitTorrent is usually good for tracking down stuff like that.

Kung Fu - the original, not the sequel series that's set in the present day - starring David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine. All three seasons are available on DVD.

There was also The Young Riders, which ran on ABC for three full seasons (1989-1992).

[EDIT] Oops, Cthulhudrew already mentioned that series.

Peacemakers (2003) starring Tom Berenger and The Lazarus Man (1996) starring Robert Ulrich are two great short-lived western series that quickly comes to my mind.

For the record, if a Google search turns up any Brisco County, Jr./Highlander crossover fanfic, I heartily apologize. I was young, and I was really into adverbs.

A lot.

Everything I'd suggest has been brought up. Lots of good stuff. There was a very brief Magnificent Seven series, too, that I didn't see (apologies if somebody else posted it already), but it only lasted a few episodes, I think. It was a modern take -- had a former slave, an Indian, a gambler, etc.
