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.

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).
