What TV shows do you like that either strongly feature or positively feature guns?

Magnum, PI, is a favorite of mine. He almost always draws his 1911 in every episode, and it can be serious and realistic or funny.

In episode "Adelaide" I draws his gun and dives to the ground, smacking it against the dirt, when he goes to fire the gun either jammed or he failed to rack the slide first. His response? "Damn." Then he stands up, clears the jam/racks the slide, and goes on.

In another episode (Ghost Writer, I think) he pulls his 1911 out of a gym bag and aims it at someone who broke into his house. He then realizes the magazine isn't in the gun, so digs through the bag and then seats the magazine. haha.

A-Team was pretty cool, horrible shots though. And Deadwood has some great moments of gun action.
 
I used to love the old black and white Untouchables series. I'm dating myself here. Can't bear cutting loose with a Thompson. :D
 
Firefly for certain...

Combat! as well as the Rat Patrol...


Wanted Dead or Alive and gotta throw in Have Gun Will Travel. :D
 
Magnum PI and his Detonics. (I'm pretty sure thats what it was?)
Firefly is also a great favorite, and Zöe made me want a levergun.

My mom was always anti gun, and kept my gun-tv to a minimum, so I ended up watching lots of westerns. Movies and TV shows. I loved The Rifleman, for instance.


Strangely enough, I always loved Star Trek's Phaser, though.
 
"The Shield"... while it can be anti at times (a cop show set in the LA ghttto, whaddya expect), I love Vic Mackey's S&W 4506.

Loved it when Sony Crockett carried it in the later seasons of Miami Vice. Loved his Bren Ten and Detonics backup too.
 
I read the headline and the first thing that popped into my mind was "Get Smart" I don't know why! LOL.

Firefly was good too.

I liked the Rifleman. Had plenty of bumps on the ole noggin trying to flip my BB gun like he did. LOL.
 
Fiction:
Firefly, Chuck, Stargate SG1

Non-Fiction:
Personal Defense TV, Shooting USA, Shooting Gallery, American Rifleman, Spirit of the Wild
 
Chuck available on-line http://www.nbc.com/Chuck/video/episodes.shtml

basic premise, Best Buy type employee working for Geek Squad type tech support. His old college roomate is a superspy, sends him some magical data that gets stuck in his head. Now he is dragged along on spy missions so his data can get accessed. Very cheesy in an Ateam way.

Anyways Adam Baldwin (jayne from firefly) plays an over-the-top pro gun NSA agent (I know, silly network missed the fact that federal agensts aren't 2nd amendment supporters because they got the special papers to allow them to have guns even if we don't)

from just a few episodes...
-in the Best Buy store, in the fancy home theater display, he has a sliding panel coffee table loaded with guns.
-washing his 80's Crown Vic while wearing a 'If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns' tshirt.
-shows up at an unapproved spy mission "I didn't want to miss out on any gun play"
-response to the question "Don't you hold anything sacred?" with "The right to bear arms!" or something similar

yes, I realize that holleywood is kinda making fun of us with that character, but I don't care.

Plus has a really really hot blonde as chuck's bodyguard/cia agent
 
O.K. Call me a sucker.

I've heard so much talk about "Firefly" that I went to Best Buy and forked over $40 bucks sight unseen just so I can see what all the hub-bub is about.

After watching the first 3 episodes, the jury is still out.

I'm still a little shaky on the idea of the western as science fiction.

I love either westerns (Josey Wales is #1 in my book) OR science fiction (Seen Star Wars in the theater......the first time.)

But both at the same time? I'm just a little iffy on my space faring characters waving around revolvers and lever action rifles.

It's slowly growing on me though!
 
C'mon - 22 posts, and nobody's mentioned Sledge Hammer?

Oh yeah, remember when his gun was stolen and they issued him a 22 that he said " wouldnt stop a charging hampster"
