At six years of age in 1949, we got our first TV. Gleefully watched The Lone Ranger, Hoppy Cassidy, Kit Carson, Annie Oakley, The Rangerider, Gene Autry, and Roy Rogers. Never had a cowboy outfit, but I did have several double guns holster belts over the years. Just about the time that I was outgrowing the kid westerns on TV, in the mid-50's Gunsmoke began its long run and inspired so many other "adult" westerns, that any night on TV might feature five or six different prime time westerns.

And later on The Rifleman, Wanted Dead or Alive, Bat Masterson, Ponderosa, The Big Valley, and so many more. The change to color TV made them all the more interesting.
