These heroes came riding into America’s living rooms in one form or another from the earliest days of television and rode off into the sunset in the late 1970s.
Here are detailed descriptions of every major and minor television Western series to appear, 1946–1978 (the Golden Age): theme, sustaining cast members and their characters, air dates & times, network(s). Separate listings show Emmy winners, Nielson ratings, recordings of theme music by artist and record label and other recordings of interest. Many great photos.
