5	!!''The Gene Autry Show'' contains examples of
6	* AsHimself: Gene Autry plays the character Gene Autry.
7	* BigEater: Pat was implied to be this in some episodes.
8	* ButtMonkey: Pat provided most of the slapstick and comedy, due to his antics.
9	* CoolHorse: Champion, or 'Champ' for short, as he's mostly called in the episodes.
10	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Most of the episodes had Gene and Pat face off against a boss of either a bank or a newspaper office that had gone corrupted.
11	* CowardlySidekick: Pat showed shades of this in most episodes.
12	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Though Pat is mostly useless when in battle, there are actually a few episodes when Pat has stood his ground against the bad guys, such as the episode where he believed that he was sick.
13	* {{Deadpan Snarker}}: Pat again
14	* {{Leitmotif}}: Gene's is a slightly modified instrumental version of his main song "Back In The Saddle Again", while Pat's is a rather goofy-sounding theme that plays whenever he is about to do something funny.
15	* {{Once Per Episode}}: Gene, being a singing cowboy, would sing one or two songs in nearly every episode.
16	* {{Put on a Bus}}: In the final eight episodes of the first season, Pat wound up in an accident involving a cannon misfire. As a result, he was replaced by three other actors; [[Series/GilligansIsland Alan Hale Jr.]] as Tiny in two episodes, Chill Wills (the voice of Francis the Talking Mule) playing himself in two episodes, and Fuzzy Knight as Sagebrush in four episodes. [[spoiler: Fortunately, by the time the second season started, Pat returned to resume the role of Gene's sidekick.]]
