IMNTHO there is no better "50's" Western TV show than "The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp". The first episode was released the day before the first episode of"'Bonanza". It's 5 year run with it's larger than life star Hugh O'Brien had all the trappings of every Western TV show then, but it had Hugh and some of the best script writing of any TV show of it's time. O'Brien's obedience to the man "Wyatt Earp's" 'code of justice' made it even more interesting as the lies about the 'Old West' continued. In the show Wyatt drinks milk, never whiskey. He never kills anyone, only 'creases' them ( mostly skull creases). Bottom Line - Hugh O'Brien is the KING here, this show is a masterpiece of 1950s Western TV script writing, they were absolute geniuses. It's beautiful.
