Where To Watch
How well do you know the very first episode of The Rifleman?
Do you remember Lucas and Mark’s arrival in North Fork?
When towering former athlete Chuck Connors decided to become an actor, it didn’t take long for him to make it in Hollywood. After small roles in war movies and guest spots on other TV Westerns like Gunsmoke and Wagon Train, he got his own show starring alongside former Mickey Mouse Club member Johnny Crawford.
The father-son pairing proved to be a hit and continues to entertain audiences all these years later. The episode that started it all is called “The Sharpshooter.” How well do you know it? Test your Rifleman knowledge below!

10/10 and the majority were guesses wow!!!!
6 out of 10 isn't bad considering it was off the air before I was born
9/10 -- Most were educated guesses. I'm familiar with The Rifleman, but I've never seen the first episode.
I got 10/10, but guessed at #10, because it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual episode. Not a fair question in my humble opinion.
4 correct
