The Andy Griffith Show and The Rifleman gave the world two of TV’s most iconic dads. Both imparted life lessons to their young sons and both kept the peace, albeit in very different ways.

These two classic shows overlapped for a few years in the early 1960s and shared many of the same actors.

Here are 10 people who appeared in Mayberry and the Old West town of North Fork. We’ve provided character names associated with each actor. Try to guess if that character is from The Rifleman or The Andy Griffith Show!

You got 10 out of 10 - The answers for the names on this quiz couldn't just appear. Did you know them all or did you miss a few? Pretty easy I reckon.
