the warner brothers produced westerns, 4 february 2005
author:
raysond from chapel hill,north carolina
in commerating the golden 50th anniversary of this program,the series
"cheyenne" was one of the first television series produced by a major
film studio of the era,and one of five western-adventure shows from
warner brothers,and a couple dozen of other shows they did for the
studio,which not only made warners a household name,but also was the
pinnacle status of the success of the american broadcasting
company(that made that network)from the mid 1950's to the early 1960's
under the stewardship of executive producer william t. orr and the
creative genius of roy huggins,who were also later on the driving force
behind the warner brothers detective shows(in which all were on the
same network)during that same period."cheyenne" was the first tv-western produced by the studio,and it is
the most fondly remembered of tv's "golden age of westerns",and it was
the driving force behind this show that warners produced four more
westerns after the success of "cheyenne". this show was a huge hit for
abc-tv at the time mostly because of its star,clint walker as the title
character. it also brought out other westerns as well that followed
including james garner as "maverick" which premiered in 1957,and
continued through 1962,producing 124 episodes. then that same year will
hutchins star as "sugarfoot"(1957-1961),which produced 61 episodes,then
afterwards in 1958 came ty hardin as "bronco"(1958-1962), which
produced 68 episodes,not to mention the action-adventure short-lived
series titled "the alaskans" with roger moore,which ran from 1959
through 1960,producing 37 episodes. there were other westerns as well
that warners produced during the mid-1960's as well especially with the
western satire spoof "f-troop" which premiered in 1965 producing 37
episodes which ran until 1967,and the last of warner brothers westerns
came that same year in 1965 with christopher jones in "the legend of
jesse james",which lasted one season. it is to note here that out of
all the warner brothers produced westerns that had the longest-running
stanza out of all of them,"cheyenne" remained on abc-tv for eight
seasons,producing 108 episodes running from its debut in 1955 to the
final episode of the series in 1963. only "maverick" became the second
longest-running western for the studio,which debut in 1957 and ended in
1962,withstood a five-year run.what set "cheyenne" apart from other tv-westerns of their day? first
off,there were different sets of elements that were found of other
shows but this one was totally the opposite and above the competition
in which lay the foundation for the casting of clint walker as cheyenne
brodie. clint walker's character was a good-looking fellow with a
48-inch chest(which seems to get bared at least once in every
episode)who didn't succeed just on his acting ability,which was
passable.the only thing that was successful was the action scenes in
which cheyenne would be fighting ruthless outlaws,savage indians,and
even deadly gunslingers who may have there way with him,but cheyenne
didn't back down from any fight,and because of his massive size,he
could tackle any man while still have the aura of a "gentle giant".
even with the "beefcake" scenes had an non-threatening quality about
them since television and what was to be shown on television had to go
through the censors was about as riveting as they could get,but lets
face it,"cheyenne" delivered the goods and then some with more westerb
action and adventure then it could handle thanks to the starring
presence of clint walker especially with the unique qualities that he
brought to this series."cheyenne" also brought out some of the most special guest stars ever
assembled and some of them,like per se james garner,would go on to make
a name for himself years later on his own wb-produced series,
"maverick". and not to mention others like micheal landon,peter graves,
and others that were on the adventure set each week. in all a great
series from tv's golden age.happy golden 50th anniversary cheyenne
