Ward Bond was my favorite, he could be tough as nails but had a tender side to him too. Both my grandpa's were already dead when I was born and I always thought he was the kind of grandpa I would want .

I watch this show almost everyday on MeTv. I also remember it from when i was a kid. Each character is so special, but i do love Charlie Woster.I love the old westerns. My Dad was a big Westerns fan. I loved watching them all with him. He has passed but watching these shows kinda comforts me.

I am 67 and watch Wagon Train daily. It was like Gunsmoke. Superb cast and stories. It's hard to pick a favorite from such a collection of stars from a great period in television.

At age nine in 1965, we toured the Universal Studios backlot in LA; it was a new concept back then. We were promised a tour of one soundstage (The Munsters), one dressing room (Yvonne De Carlo) and one celebrity meet-and-greet. Our celebrity was Charlie from Wagon Train. He arrived in a golf cart that had a covered-wagon cloth top. He took out a magic marker and asked each of us to sign his wagon canopy. We rode a tram to Mockingbird Lane, and got to see many faux-houses from TV & movies (Now it's called Wisteria Lane). Good times.......

Loved Robert Horton..remembered him being the final celebrity on Sunday night at the Palladium . What a man!

Ward Bond,all the actors had something special about them.I'm so glad there are reruns 💙💙💙

I would have liked to have met Terry Wilson! I believe he was the underrated character actor in the group!

You need to update your records. Robert Horton was always my favorite actor on Wagon Train. When I was 6 years old, a new housing development opened nearby and my dad took my sister and I to the grand opening. They made a big deal of those back in those days, with balloons and a mini-carnival set up to bring people in. They also brought in Robert Horton, all dressed up in his Flint McCullough costume. He let us sit next to him while he signed autographs. I just adored him - still do in fact!

Ward Bond was my favorite. I loved his feisty ways with the crew of the wagon train, especially with Wooster and Clint. I loved all of his quotes. I miss him. He was a great actor.💕

Without a doubt, my favorite actor was Ward Bond. He was cast perfectly; he was a father-figure, an authoritarian. Very intense when he had to be, but had a soft side, as well. Too bad he died fairly young. I miss him in his Wagon Train role. I would have liked to see him play the wagon master character throughout the entire run of the series.

I also loved Ward Bond in the movie "The Searchers" with John Wayne. What a movie!

As a boy I grew up with shows like Gunsmoke, Have Gun will Travel and Wagon Train. Fond memories. In roughly 1975 I had the opportunity to spend the day at Warner Bros Studios. I saw quite a few actors that day like Earl Holloman, Angie Dickinson and a few others who played in Western movies I watched as a boy. Kind of surreal.

I loved them all! Each one added their own uniqueness to the show. My favorite guest star was Barbara Stanwyck, playing the part of a mule skinner. Long haul wagon driver.

I loved all the characters. Hard to pick a favorite!

Oh, Robert Fuller. I remember watching him in Emergency! I grew up watching that show and to this day I can blow people's minds when I say about the hearts beat, being called a sinus rethoum.

Love this show and the Cast was amazing….I Love Terry Wilson…so handsome…. But all of them were great in their roles. Charlie Wooster perfect!!!!💕

Wagon Train was a extraordinary western TV series. Great Cast, Great Show! Michael Burns is still going.

John Wayne was in an episode of Wagon Train. He was in shadow at the end of the "Colter Craven Story." You can definitely know it's him by his voice. He was listed in the credits as Michael Morris.

I love Wagon Train even to this day 2022. I love how they had so many great actors that always appeared each week. I remember that Tommy Sands appeared in 1 episode at least. Who l still love to this day. And when they brought in my favorite Cowboys Robert Fuller aka Jess Harper in as Cooper Smith. That only made the show even better.

Ward Bond. Love all on Wagon Train but especially Ward Bond!

Robert Horton was my favorite actor on Wagon Train. He was always making everyone mad, but everyone knew that they could count on him to get them threw.

The writing on Wagon Train, Raw Hide, and Paladin was very good.

Robert Fuller has been my. Favorite for years!!!Awesome actor

Ward Bond played cop BERT in "It's a Wonderful Life", and his best pal was Frank Feylen who played ERNIE the cab driver.

I loved them all...each for a different reason...but Ward Bond always held my attention best from his anger at times, to his tender side.

Robert Horton made the show hands down!

Ward Bond was a Legend. So sad he died so young. Fantastic actor. Loved Robert Horton as well. Great actor. Frank Magrath died right after Wagon Train. Loved him. So funny. Terry Wilson was great as well. The original cast was the best.

Ward Bond reminds me of my father, also Frank McGrath and Terry Hawks were good too all the characters were good. Very good family show still watch reruns.

Robert Horton was my favorite on Wagon Train playing Flint followed by Charlie Wooster's character (I can't remember the Actor's name). I still enjoy watching reruns today of Wagon train with my elderly clients.

Loved Ward Bond. He was good in just about everything.

I tape the old Wagon Train shows. Love watching all of them; especially Robert Horton and Ward Bond. Frank McGrath added that special something to the show!

Ward Bond was in Gone With The Wind also.

This past year I have been watching Watching Wagon Train on INSP. I was only 2 years old when it first aired in 57 and remember very little of it as a kid. I think the whole cast was terrific. And what a blast it is to see young guest characters actors and actresses that made their way to stardom as I grew, and some in more of their twilight years also. I think back to the people from the 1840s to mostly into the 1870s that made these trips to the golden west and what an arduous journey that was. Figures range from 5 to 10 percent would die, mostly to disease (cholorae and diptheria) and accidents with the wagons and draft animals. And far more mules and oxen were used, instead of horses. And a great amount of time was to feeding and watering these animals. Also unlike the show portrays, Indian attacks were rare. For the most part, Indian interactions was for the purpose of trading. And if they did attack, they sure as hell would not ride around in circles, setting themselves up as easy targets. Also most men did not wear low slung pistol gun belts and holsters These did not come into existance until the 1950s for hollywood purposes. Instead any that were used were military type. The weapon of choice was a rifle and shotgun. What a shame Ward Bond died to young. I remember seeing a picture this year of Terry Wilson and John Wayne carring his coffin. I met Denny Miller in Palm Springs back in the 1990s. Nice guy and his license plate was XTARZAN. I am also watching Rawhide at this time and it was easy to see why Clint Eastwood became the huge star he is. Also such a shame that Eric Fleming died a year or so after it's ending filming a movie in the Amazon on a raging river rapids they should have never filmed on.

I was in love with Robert Horton, Flint Mc Culloch from when I was ten Years old.

Yes Ward Bond best, John McIntire was great in all of his roles. Still watch it today. Can't beat these old westerns. Thanks for sharing

My favorite character on Wagon Train was Charlie Wooster.

Robert Fuller is one of the greatest character actors of all time. I'd like to sit down and have a beer with him. Cheers 🍻

I love Wagon Train. I have seen every episode at least 3 times maybe more. My favorite wagon master is Ward Bond. He was made for that role.

Robert Horton was my favorite. I loved his horse.

I just got into Wagon Train about a month ago when I saw the last few minutes of the episode "Clyde" where Charlie had a bison for a pet on the train. From there, I began watching it & got hooked on it for its wholesome acting & moral values. My favorite characters from the show are the main cast members from all seasons: Major Seth Adams, Flint McCullough, Bill Hawks, Charlie Wooster, Chris Hale, Duke Shannon, & Barnaby West. I've only seen a couple episodes with Cooper Smith, so he's not been added to my list yet. My favorite episode I've seen most recently is "The Vincent Eaglewood Story" & I'm currently looking for all 8 seasons on DVD (which is proving difficult). But even though Wagon Train is an old show, it's one of the good ones & I hope it continues to air on TV for as long as time allows!

My favorite actor was the man who played Charlie wooster

My favorite Wagon Train character is Flint McCalough played by Robert Horton

Robert Fuller.. also had main spot in Laramie also a great western

Love Robert Fuller!! So handsome!!

Love Wagon Train , still watch it everyday.

Robert fuller had a huge staring roll on the western series, Laramie. Don't know why you didn't mention that.

My husband and I just started watching wagon train. We love it. My favorite right now is bill hawks

Robert Norton my favorite on wagon. Handsome and suave. Great 😃 smile...

Robert Fuller was my favourite 😻😻😻

Love Wagon train. We glad it's on INSP & we watch it daily. I don't remember watching it as a kid. Too many in house at the time. Thanks for the info on the show.

Robert Fuller also starred on Laramie

Ward Bond & Frank McGrath were undoubtedly the best of WAGON TRAIN stars. They made us feel connected to them in every episode. It was never the same after they were gone😢

My favorite was Ward Bond, loved him in everything he starred in

Robert fuller was and still my favourite screen actor i named my eldest son after him x 💙 ❤ 💕

I was lucky enough to see Robert Horton live

Wagon Train was one of my favorite westerns. I loved the whole cast but my favorites were Ward Bond and Robert Horton and Fuller and the person who played Duke Shannon. I still watch the reruns everyday. I wish they had had more. I think the first years were better than the last. I wish they would revive this program

Ward Bond was my favorite on Wagon Train. I watch every night on ESPN

I was born in 1961 so I was alittle young at the time, but over the years I have heard of "Wagon Train" and loving westerns I am going to look into this series of "Wagon Train" and watch some of it. One of the actors on "Wagon Train" that I am famaliar with is "Robert Fuller" my parents and I watched "Emergency" in the 1970's and I remember him being on it. He would be my favorite of Wagon Train. I will gives these actors of Wagon Train credit they all had successful acting careers and a few of them was well educated individuals graduating the top of their class which is a very positive path in life to take.

I MUST SAY THAT I LOVED THEM ALL THE SAME BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL GREAT ACTORS AND THEY HAD VERY GREAT GUEST ACTORS AND ACTRESSES ON THE SHOW. I WATCH IT EVERYDAY AT 4PM I N CABLE CHANNEL 33. IT IS MY FAVORITE OF THE WESTERN SHOWS I LIKE TO WATCH. I ALSO LOVE GUNSMOKE, THE RIFFLEMAN, BONANZA, THE BIG VALLEY AND WALKER TEXAS RANGER.❤❤💜💜💙💙💚💚💛💛

I just watched it today I like it better when Ward bond was on there I hate he passed away so young

As a kid of 5 or 6, I knew Robert Fuller from "Emergency" (a huge fan of the series back then, I thought Johnny and Roy were real firemen, lol), but never knew Fuller was on Wagon Train, new to this series, pretty good Western so far! So use to seeing Fuller as Dr. Brackett and not a "cowboy", funny! I wasn't even born when Wagon Train was out. I'm slowly turning into my dad, I'm sure he was a fan of Wagon Train. There's a lot of classic westerns that I watch now.

Robert Horton passed a way in 2016

I was devastated when Ward Bond died. And now to find out he was only 57! How awful.

My two favorites were Frank McGrath and Terry Wilson. They also appeared on the Searchers in the dance scene.

Coop Smith is my favorite character on “Wagon Train”. I met him in the mid 1970’s in Bakersfield, California.

As for other shows from that era, it is hard to beat the 30-minute Gunsmoke episodes filmed in B&W.

They where all great actors Robert fuller was who caught my eye making wagon train more to look forward to watch I was sad the Flint mccullough left but the replacement was great.

Robert Fuller also replaced Steve McQueen as the character named Vin in the sequel to The Magnificent Seven.

You forgot to mention that Robert Fuller played Jess Harper on Laramie.

Robert Horton was my favorite actor. Very talented man with a beautiful voice

My favorite is hard to pick. I really like Bill Hawks, Charlie Wooster & both Ward Bond & John McIntire. This show was so good with totally different storylines. One of the GREATS along with Gunsmoke!!!

Wagon Train, Rawhide, Cheyene, Tombstone Territory and The Virginian are my favorite western shows!!!

I watched all of the reruns on the Western Channel. It was a great show.

I love them all but Michael burn and Robert Fuller is my favoriteas a young woman I love watching the old westerns because they're clean and I'm a Christian thank you guys for giving us clean entertainment today because now the entertainment is so unclean love you all God bless

Been watching reruns on INSP TV every day. I always liked Terry Wilson for some reason. And of course, Robert Fuller was so handsome.

I think Terry Wilson was one of the most handsome men I have ever seen. There was something about his over all look that really attracted me . Just a hunk as far as I am concerned.

I loved all of them especially flint McCullough

I was in love with Robert Horton and Cheyenne Clift walker still watch my old western to this day

I loved them all . I still watch them today .

I still watch this on tv today 🥰

All of them are special actors in their own right and was the best show to watch through the 60s. And then on reruns😄

Very Well done!! thanks!

Robert Horton died on March 9, 2016 at age 91.

Wagon Train appeared on British TV every Sunday evening between 8pm to 9pm. I was 13 yrs old and would still have to go to wash and clean my teeth as soon as it finished then bed ready for school the following morning. However I was allowed to watch the trailer for the following weeks program that delayed the inevitable by just a couple of minutes. It was a time when all the big stars would appear at the London Palladium which was also broadcast live on British TV and pulled in massive audiences. Of course one week Robert Horton from wagon train who had a massive British fan base appeared and sang several songs. I loved the show and never missed an episode.

I Watch It Everday On ME TV , Years Ago I Watch It Occasionally. Robert Horton Is My Favorite Actor In The Show.

Denny Miller was my client in the late 90s..at Cassell-Levy Talent Agency in Hollywood..At the time.. he was the Gorton Fish Man in TV commercials..he hated having to make appearances at grocery stores..😅

I liked the original wagon master the most. He was a. Really good actor. I still watch the show on tge INSP Channel. I never get tired of seeing this show. My dad before he passed away was a wester fantastic. He passed it along to me. Thanks Pops!

This was one of my favorite westerns I loved all of these guys and still watch this show everyday on me tv may all the ones who are gone now r.ip

Terry Wilson, definitely the best!!

All were my favourites. Loved every Western.( Not forgetting Hugh O'Brien)

My favorite was Robert Horton, hands down, though I basically loved them all. It was a magnificent show, and I still watch the reruns.

Ward Bond was my hero. I loved his gruff exterior and his soft and loving inside! He was fair and cared about everyone! But I love the show and the characters. I was broken hearted when I found out that Ward Bond died so young and sudden!

Ward Bond I still watch wagon train every day.....

Terry Wilson, my favorite: a no BS, decent, honest man.

Robert Horton was my favorite. loved his singing voice

Really loved them all. Just love the show.

It’s amazing to watch Wagon Train these days and to see how humanely they treated the Indian tribes, especially compared with other westerns of the time. Great show!

They all were great actors They complimented each other

Love this show! Watching now.
