The Prisoner

Here's an easy one: A cowboy keeps the peace in his New Mexico town with his custom Winchester rifle.

That's easy (and one of my favorite shows): The Rifleman

Ok, here's mine...

Some of the favorite lines:

  • Around here, we brush our teeth with Scotch.
  • The only way we're gonna win this war is if Tokyo is more fouled up than Washington.
  • We're a rear area!

UFO

Marionettes in spaaaace. 

Thunderbirds! (I had all the Dinky Toys from both those shows when I was a kid.)

(This thread is getting way too nostalgic. I don't watch a lot of contemporary TV, but I'll try to buck the trend.)

Space cowboys!

Mankind has enjoyed centuries of peace before the first time they come in contact with an alien species: a race of warlike felinoids that discovered a interstellar photon-drive ship from Earth. 

uh... Thundercats?  Never watched it, but it's the only show I can think of that has Felinoids.

 

A giant spinning "Bicycle Wheel" protects a tunnel through space.

Hint: This series is actually from literature, and not so much a series as a "universe." One which includes my avatar, which should give this one away to anyone familiar with it. But there are a series of short story anthologies from this universe, which includes the story I described.

Actually I was thinking Fireball XL5. Never got to see Thunderbirds (from the same people) so can't say if they went to spaaaace or not.
