GAME ~ I Reckon It Was . . .

[Tracy]

Some of us grew up on the iconic TV and movie westerns of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

I don't know about you, but I'm still growin' up! I watch as many of them as I can,
thanks to DVDs and channels that specialize in classic TV.

Here's a challenge for those of us who remember and still watch those great television westerns.

I'll start off with a question and several possible answers.

If you know the correct answer, post it, and then,
post a question of your own (with at least four answers to choose from).

Oh, and one more rule: your answer must begin with: "I reckon it was"
