Since nobody has mentioned them yet...
"The Wild Wild West" - The Original TV show, not the only loosely related movie. Four seasons and two straight-to-TV movies of classic, "Weird West," awesomeness (Think James Bond meets John Wayne). I don't think it played a part, but I still can't help but feel that this show helped to pave the way for a certain Table-Top RPG Setting I'm a fan of.
"The Adventures of Brisco County Jr" - Another 'Weird West' show, this one from the 90's starring Bruce Campbell as the titular character. Only lasted one season, and a lot of the references are dated, but it's still got a lot of charm as a sci-fi western. Billy Drago plays a delightfully menacing villain.

Both had elements of steam punk in them.

We were only doing movies.
Wild Wild West is my single most favorite show EVER. Brisco has a special place in my heart as well.
The Wild Wild West movie wasn't up to expectations - but I think it would have been fine if they had not tried to recreate the original cast of characters. Jim and Artie are elsewhere saving the world when a Loveless wannabe turns up - can the second string, new recruits get the job done?! I think Smith did a pretty danged good job as West - but that script wasn't workable as their origin story (that was done in series and the movie departed WAY too far from it).
Okay, other TV westerns:
High Chaparral (my favorite pure Western).
The Rifleman (my other favorite - it's like choosing between kids!)
Bonanza
Gunsmoke
Wagon Train
Rawhide

They all were special to me growing up...

A few more...
Wanted Dead or Alive
Branded
Maverick
Have Gun – Will Travel
Cisco Kid
And Wild, Wild West was one of my all-time favorites as well. A major influence (much like It Takes a Thief), for good and bad.

I have a soft spot for The Plainsman - it only had one season but it had Michael Ansara!

You should check out Broken Arrow if you can find it

Every week when it was on, my friend Norm would come over and we made popcorn! We loved it...
