Where To Watch
Are these one-word Western titles from movies, TV shows or both?
Can you place names like Rawhide, Lancer, Stagecoach and Branded?
Westerns, both in TV and film, have some of the best one-word titles of any genre. Whether they take the straightforward route and use a character name or they pick a vaguely related Old West term, it's hard to beat monikers like Rawhide, Sugarfoot and McLintock!
With the sheer number of Western stories being told from the 1930s to the 1970s, it's no wonder many names were reused. Many small-screen series took their names from older Western films — even if there weren't many other similarities.
Here are 12 single-word titles from films and television shows. Can you guess what each name belongs to or if it is both?
-
Bonanza
-
McLintok!
-
Gunsmoke
-
Stagecoach
-
Rawhide
-
Lancer
-
Branded
-
Bandolero!
-
Riverboat!
-
Cheyenne
-
Laredo
-
Sugarfoot

"You got 4 out of 12" ------Looks like you had some problems with quiz. Better luck next time!
almost all my 'errors' were Boths where I knew of one version or another but forgot it was 'adapted' or the title recycled
Imagine a freight train running into a fly. The freight train is the quiz, and I am the fly. Failure is too positive a word for how poorly I did on this.
I missed almost all on TV shows

10/12. I love westerns, movies or TV, or both.
What two John Wayne westerns had different titles both of which were names for the same geographic feature?
Stagecoach and Searchers, both filmed in Monument valley.
You got 7 out of 12
Looks like you had some problems with this quiz. Better luck next time!
Missed a lot.
I chalk it up to Gunsmoke being the only one with an honest "Both".
The only things shared between the others listed as "Both", was a title. Nothing more.

7/12, and guessing badly.
9/12. I missed 7,9, & 12. Never would've thought "Branded" was a movie. I saw the TV show. As kids we used to dress up with an old shirt with pins on it and have someone come up and rip them off the shirt, just like Chuck Conners as he was being punished in the show's opening.
Wow
10 out of 12
5/12 ugh!! Too many "boths"!!
7 out of 12. Who knew that there were so many shared titles... I missed a bunch of them as well as a regular movie/tv show choice.... Bleah!
6/12. Pee-ew.
