*The Paramount Ranch town set was the main featured hometown in these series. For Hotel de Paree, Klondike & The Best of the West – exterior scenes; For Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Carnivale & Quick Draw – exteriors and interiors.
TV productions that used Paramount Ranch have filmed everything from just brief scenes to entire episodes to multiple episodes.
Many used the town, but many only used the open landscape around the ranch. (Episodes on this list used the town, except where otherwise noted.) See the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) for more detailed episode information for all listed shows. Documentation here comes from National Park Service filming records (1981 to present), from viewing the shows and from photographs. This list is not all inclusive.
