It begins and ends with Audra on “The Big Valley.”
For cowboys,
James Garner on “Maverick.”

Guess it isn't quite a western, more of a pioneer series, but I did love Daniel Boone. Although because of my age I always linked it to Davy Crockett.

I think THE RIFLEMAN made it’s debut on Dick Powell’s Zane Grey Theater. I remember seeing it there.

I had wanted to go with the Marlboro Man commercials, but I see it's been mentioned. So all I have left is Petticoat Junction. I think that was out West.
(I had the Yancy Derringer belt-buckle derringer.)

Mark must have surely suffered from PTSD caused by his dad.

My favorite westerns were those featuring unusual firearms:
Yancy Derringer - well named since he carried six of them including one in his hat. His sidekick Pahoo had a sawed off shotgun under his blanket.
The Rifleman - 1892 Winchester modified into 20 round slow cyclic rate machine gun. Count the # of rounds fired in the intro. Lucas McCain took out a bad guy who was terrorizing the land with a Sharps rifle which had a full length telescope sight.
Johnny Ringo - Le Mat revolver with its seven shot cylinder & shotgun barrel left many a bad guy dead with a surprised look on his face.
Shotgun Slade - sawed off over/under rifle-shotgun. A one season wonder.
Wanted Dead or Alive - “mare’s leg” cut down Winchester 92. Fired as many shots as full length model. Oversize rounds carried in cartridge belt for effect. Harassed by BATF during filming.
Have Gun Will Travel - Remington derringer in addition to sixgun.
Bat Masterson - short barrelled “Sheriff’s Model” sixgun.
The Rebel - Johnny Yuma sported a sawed off shotgun plus a cap & ball revolver which fired & reloaded just as fast as a cartridge sixgun.
Wild Wild West must have had some anachronistic firearms but I can’t think of any offhand. Maybe a broomhandle Mauser.

“Lash LaRue”
15 minutes on Saturday morning, sponsored by Reemer’s Blend.
The name and the fact that the hero’s main prop was a whip raises all kinds of questions now ;)

If you’re going to bring up Saturday morning, can’t leave out Sky King and Fury.
Set in the modern-day West.

I watched all of them. My brother and I got in trouble for running around the neighborhood scratching “Z” on all the side of people’s houses.

Fury was on at 11:30am in NYC and Sky King on at 12:00pm. Then we were kicked out of the house to play.
