Wide Wide World, "The Western" - Legendary, one-of-a-kind TV episode w/live appearances by John Wayne, Gary Cooper, John Ford, James Arness, James Garner, Broncho Billy Anderson, Gabby Hayes, fast draw expert Rodd Redwing, stuntman Chuck Hayward, & many other notables of the genre (1958)
The Real West - perhaps the first "revisionist" documentary on the Old West, debunking many glamorous cliches of Hollywood. Hosted by movie legend Gary Cooper, in his last appearance - he died about 6 weeks after this aired (1961)
When The West Was Fun: A Western Reunion - A 50 minute special from 1979 hosted by Glenn Ford, w/over 4 dozen Western TV and Movie stars live and even more in various montages. With (since it's the '70s) dancing & music numbers that are mercifully few and brief. A must for nostalgists.
Hollywood, ep9, "Out West" - The story of the silent western, from distinguished film historian Kevin Brownlow. Narrated by James Mason. (1979)
TV Western Heroes - Direct-to-video collection of vintage clips hosted by Will "Sugarfoot" Hutchins (1993)
Western Clippings - Excellent collection of articles & interviews
Jeff Arnold's West - well done & insightful blog
