Can you guess if this 1950s TV show title was a Western?

Is there a difference between Man Behind the Badge and Man Without a Gun?

 

The Western genre peaked on television in the late 1950s. Every network loaded its schedule with cowboy adventures. Dozens of Westerns aired. In 1957, you could watch a western every night of the week on one of the big three networks. 

But not everything on TV back then was set in the 19th-century Wild West. There were sitcoms, cop procedurals and game shows, too.

We've gathered some lesser-known titles. See if you can guess if these shows were a Western!

  1. Bat Masterson
  2. Casey Jones
  3. Biff Baker, U.S.A.
  4. The Adventures of Kit Carson
  5. The Adventures of Clint and Mac
  6. The Man Behind the Badge
  7. Man Without a Gun
  8. Mayor of the Town
  9. Brave Eagle
  10. Fury
  11. Mr. Lucky
  12. The Millionaire

11, but should be 12, because Casey Jones was more a period show than a western...

14 out of 14. I was expecting some made-up names of shows, but all of the shows mentioned were real.

11/14 (should be 12/14, I clicked the right answer on 2, but it said I picked wrong. Sometimes the page jumps on you on some of these quizzes causing that).

12/14 Casey Jones wasn't really a western. It was about a train engineer.

11 of 14. Several of these shows I've never even heard of. Me-TV needs to pick up some of these shows instead of rerunning the same ones over and over and over and over....
