The first Western to ever premiere on television wasn't a gunslinging outlaw who held up banks and stage coaches. It was a puppet. In 1949, Los Angeles TV station KNBH (now KNBC) produced The Adventures of Cyclone Malone, which followed the puppet sheriff of Yazoo Junction. It may seem a bit odd that the first Western to make a mark on the then invention was one based on a puppet, but it was, nevertheless, influential, and it showed that the genre could attract a household audience.
