No, what I am is a good guesser. A lot of these shows (or rather, some of the characters listed) were a few years before my time.

9/10. I'm more a fan of sci-fi (like Star Trek) than Westerns, but hey, I'll take that score ;)

I have never watched Rawhide and that's why i got 9/10 instead of 10/10.

Question #7 is completely wrong...in the first episode of the Rifleman, Lucas purposely threw the turkey shoot to save Mark's life.
