!!Tropes for the series:
* AdventureTowns: ''Cheyenne'' might be the first live TV example. Cheyenne Bodie, the show's only recurring character aside from the first three episodes (during which he had a sidekick), aimlessly wanders the West, taking on odd jobs and having adventures.
* CompositeCharacter: In the episode "Argonauts", Cheyenne becomes a composite character of two characters from ''Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre''; Howard, the experienced prospector who serves as a mediator between the two novice prospectors, and Cody, the man who follows them.
* TheDrifter: The perfect description of Cheyenne Bodie. After the Civil War, nomadic adventurer Cheyenne Bodie roamed the west looking for fights, women, and bad guys to beat up. His job changed from episode to episode.
* EnduranceDuel: There is an episode where the titular hero faces off against an Indian warrior by seeing who could stand in a pit of quicksand the longest.
