The sign-off to almost every show for Cowboy Bebop is “See you, space cowboy.” They call bounty hunters in the story cowboys. Hell, it’s in the danm name of the show.
In Firefly, however, while it is a western themed space sci-fi, none of the characters are cowboys.
Firefly is the top result when I search “space cowboy show” and I do seem to recall an episode where they transported cattle; but, I have to agree that calling them cowboys is an exaggeration on my part.
The IMDB link is for a movie literally called Space Cowboys. The general point is that the theme is not exclusive to one show.
