Pistols 'N' Petticoats

Pistols 'n' Petticoats was a American half-hour comedy-western series that ran for one season on CBS during the 1966-1967 television season. It was produced by Kayro/Universal Television for CBS Productions and ran from September 17, 1966 to March 11, 1967.

"Pistols 'n' Petticoats" chronicled the lives of the gun-slinging Hanks family, which consisted of Grandpa (Andrew), his wife Grandma (Effie), widowed daughter Henrietta, granddaughter (and Henrietta's daughter) Lucy, and their pet wolf Bowser. The "Petticoats" being the Hanks ladies, of course, even though Lucy (who was raised in the city) would spend more time being at odds with the rest of the clan rather than helping protect their land.

The Hanks lived in the town of Wretched, Colorado in the year 1870, where at that time, the sprawling old west was being occupied by outlaws and other rutless villains, so naturally it was up to the Hanks to clean up the town, which made them more popular with the citizens than with the town sheriff, Harold Sikes, who didn't like having the spotlight shine on the Hanks. The Hanks also had adversaries with rival Buss Courtney and members of a nearby Indian tribe, lead by Chief Eagle Shadow, and his assistants Grey Hawk and Little Bear.
