Longmire

A New Old Western that premiered on A&E on June 3, 2012 based on the series of mystery novels by Craig Johnson. It follows the adventures of Walt Longmire, a Wyoming sheriff attempting to keep the peace in his county while recovering from the loss of his recently-deceased wife.


 * Badass: Sheriff Longmire of course. In the premiere he escapes gunfire by counting the exact amount of time it takes to reload that particular gun and running only during the reloading time, as he makes his way to his truck.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Holy crap, Tess Mercer is Sheriff Longmire's daughter!
 * And Starbuck is his partner.
 * Lou Diamond Phillips is Henry Standing Bear.
 * New Old West: Takes place in modern Wyoming and features pickup trucks and modern bars alongside cowboy hats and horses.
 * Noble Savage: Totally averted with Lou Diamond Phillips's Henry Standing Bear, a Deadpan Snarker modern-day Native American (i.e. wearing usual modern American western clothes rather than traditional garb) who is Walt's best friend.
