How Well Do You Remember These Classic TV Westerns?
In 1949, after being a staple of film and literature for decades, Westerns finally hit the small screen. Hopalong Cassidy, starring William Boyd, was the first-ever Western TV series — but it was far from the last. In the nearly 80s years since then, rough and rowdy cowpokes have been a TV staple, with each new generation re-inventing the genre.
Today, we’re in the middle of a new Western TV era, courtesy of Yellowstone and its spinoffs — but how well do you know what came before? Are you so much of an expert that you have a second home in Lonesome Dove? Then pop on a 10 gallon hat, make sure your boot spurs are polished, and git along, little doggie, to our classic Western TV quiz.
