Just call me “Hoppy”
When television became popu-lar in the late 1940s and 1950s,TV westerns quickly became anaudience favorite. The peak yearfor television westerns was 1959,with 26 such shows airing duringprime-time.
The rst true western on TV,
premiering on June 24, 1949, wasthe Hopalong Cassidy show.Hopalong Cassidy is a cowboyhero, created by Clarence E. Mul-ford, who wrote a series of popu-lar stories and novels. In his earlyprint appearances, the characterappears as a rude, dangerous andrough-talking “galoot”.The movies made from the sto-ries and novels were tremendouslysuccessful and the transition to TVwas thought to be a good move.In fact, the initial TV broadcastswere so successful that NBCcould not wait for a television se-ries to be produced, and simply re-
edited the old feature lms down
to broadcast length. The Westerntelevision series starred WilliamBoyd in his all black cowboyensemble, along with his horse“Topper”.Hopalong’s sidekicks changedover the years, beginning withWindy Halliday, then SpeedyMcGinnis, then California Carl-son.Boyd earned millions as Ho-palong, mostly from merchandiselicensing and endorsement deals.In 1950, Hopalong Cassidy was
featured on the rst lunch box to
bear an image, causing sales forAladdin Industries to jump from50,000 units to 600,000 units in just one year.
Back in the Saddle
The Gene Autry Show rst
aired on CBS from 1950 to 1955and was sponsored by Wrigley’sDoublemint Chewing Gum. Itfollows the adventures of singingcowboy Gene Autry, his WonderHorse Champion, and his side-kick Pat Buttram, who travel theSouthwest to maintain law and or-der. The series was a collection of stand-alone episodes: Each uniqueshow has Gene’s trademark mix-ture of action, comedy, and sing-ing.Each episode of The GeneAutry Show, is a complete half-hour story of wholesome, rugged,exciting Western adventure withGene’s songs—usually one to ashow—neatly blended into theplot.The Gene Autry Show was very
successful, running ve seasons
on CBS from July 23, 1950, untilDecember 24, 1955, with a totalof 91 episodes, 15 of which were
lmed in color. The year 1955
marked the end of Gene’s on-screen career, as he had concludedhis movies in 1953 with The Lastof the Pony Riders.
Who was that masked man?
The Lone Ranger was anAmerican long-running early ra-dio and television show created byGeorge W. Trendle. The title char-acter was a masked Texas Rangerin the American Old West, whogallops about righting injustices,usually with the aid of a cleverand laconic Native Americancompanion named Tonto, and hishorse Silver.This was by far the highest-rat-ed television program on the ABCnetwork in the early 1950s and its
rst true “hit”.The rst 78 episodes wereproduced and broadcast for 78
consecutive weeks without anybreaks or reruns. Then the entire
78 episodes were shown again be
-fore any new episodes were pro-duced. All were shot in Utah andCalifornia. The last new episodeof the series was broadcast June
6, 1957, and the series ended Sep
