Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rory Calhoun was already a established B-movie star when CBS cast him, making this rare 'movie star to TV' transition in an era when television was considered slumming it.
The show aired during the Western boom when over 30 Westerns dominated primetime—yet it still managed 78 episodes before cancellation in the genre's inevitable 1960 collapse.
