Some sample questions from this category:

* 'Bonanza' might be the best of the lot - it certainly ran forever. When Pernell Roberts became unhappy and wanted to leave the show, they considered 'marrying off' his character, Adam. Who was the woman with whom he had the romance?
* I also liked 'The Big Valley', with Barbara Stanwyck as a female Ben Cartwright (and with the added dimension of a daughter in the powerful family, young Linda Evans). Which of the following did NOT play one of the sons?
* 'The Virginian' was one of the first tv series to have a regular 90-minute format. James Drury was fine in the title role. Who played his friend, Trampas?
* 'Gunsmoke' may be the most well-known tv western of all. What was the name of the saloon that was run by Kitty Russell?
* 'Maverick' originally starred James {Garner;} Jack Kelly (and others) came later. What did each brother always carry in case of an emergency?
* Chuck Connors starred in 'The Rifleman'. What was the name of the town near his ranch?
* 'The Lone Ranger' gets mentioned for its historical role: it was one of the first tv westerns. What was the Ranger's trademark?
* Curiously, very few westerns dealt with the Civil War. Which actor starred in one that did?
* 'Wagon Train' gave you a different story about a different character every week - sort of a serious 'Love Boat' on land. Ward Bond was the wagon {master;} who played the scout?
* I'm cheating a bit when I mention 'The Wild, Wild West': that wasn't a traditional tv western. Where was their headquarters?
* When the Barkleys of "The Big Valley" needed the law enforced, who did they call on?
* Who kept the peace in Latigo, N.M. on the series "The Black Saddle"?
* Henry Fonda's only TV series was "The Deputy" 1959 - 1961. Who did he portray?
* Lucas McCain on "The Rifleman" would sometimes be called on to help the Marshal of North Fork rid the town bad guys. What was the name of the Marshal?
* What Marshal kept the peace in Cimarron City, Oklahoma on the show "Cimarron Strip"?
* Who enforced the law in Laramie on "The Lawman"?
* What was the Marshal's name on the Western "Wichita Town"?
* On the series "Man Without A Gun", actor Mort Mills portrayed the Sheriff of Yellowstone, Dakota. Name the Sheriff.
* Who was the lawman on "The Californians"?
* Who was the Deputy Sheriff on "Annie Oakley"?
