Montana didn't used to be the hot spot for TV Shows.

Montana only had a handful of shows set or based in Big Sky Country before 2010. Some shows like X-Files or Supernatural would have episodes set in Montana, but there weren't many shows dedicated to being set here.

Montana wasn't flashy to American TV viewers during the golden age of television. People were more interested in Texas, Florida, New York, and California.

Those areas were more glamorous and cheaper to shoot TV productions.

We looked at all the shows set or based in Montana and compiled a list of the best.

Here are the Five Best TV Shows Set or Based in Montana.

1. Yellowstone

This juggernaut is the show that kicked off the fascination of Montana. The powerful show has massive star power in Kevin Costner and is known as Game of Thrones with cowboys. The final season is coming out soon, and folks are excited.

2. 1923

The spinoff of Yellowstone will start shooting their second season soon, and viewers can't wait. The show dives into the history of the Dutton family, and the storyline is fantastic.

3. Big Sky

This show never stepped foot in Montana, but it's based here. This dramatic thriller series lasted a few seasons and had several high-profile stars like Jensen Ackles and Reba McEntire.

4. Buckskin

The first show set in Montana was a forgotten Western TV program. The show lasted one season but completed 39 episodes.

5. Wildfire

This pick might be cheating, but this is awesome. This 80s cartoon from animation legend Hanna-Barbara created a show about a space princess dropped off in Montana and follows her adventures.
