How well do you really know the leading men of 1950s TV?
Break down the biggest names in black & white.
The 1950s gave us Lucy and Desi, Perry Mason, the Lone Ranger, the whole Cleaver family (and, yes, Eddie Haskell too), and so much more. It was the beginning of every big show that has since become canon, inspiring everything that came after, as well as plenty of reboots to boot.
But today, we're focusing on just the guys to see if you can match some of the decade's leading men with the classic series they belong on.
Only those truly fascinated with the Fifties can score 8/10. Good luck!

Your memory's a steel trap for all things Fifties!
I hate that show Beaver. What an idiotic name.

Your memory's a steel trap for all things Fifties! Agree with what a lot of the other posters say about Ken Curtis. He did do a couple of guest starring appearances on Gunsmoke in 1959, but he wasn't Festus until mid 60s.

Question number 8 is in error. This is supposed to be the 1950s, and Ken Curtis didn't become Deputy Festus Hagan until 1964 (I found the date on Wikipedia). Dennis Weaver played Deputy Chester Goode in the 1950s.
No, this is NOT a Gunsmoke quiz, this is a '50's TV quiz and the fact remains that the only deputy on that show in that decade was Chester, NOT Festus. Could someone else back me up?
