Where To Watch
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!

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 Not back considering I was flipping a coin
12/14
11/14; not too bad a score for having to guess a lot.
12/14 Casey Jones wasn't really a western. It was about a train engineer.
10 out of 14. All guesses.
11/14. Not bad.
13/14..............never heard of #9.
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....

Fury may have been set on a ranch in the west, but it was definitely not a western!
I was just going to write that-- it was about a horse and is boy owner NOT NOT awestern
I totally agree with you. It surprised me when I clicked on not a western and it came back incorrect.
You are an idiot, Fury sure was a Western.
Yes. That was a stretch. The tagline was, "The story of a horse, and the boy who loved him". The one I would debate was "Casey Jones". That was about a train engineer.
