How could I forget Yancy Derringer...it was one of my faves. I'm not sure if it qualifies as a western. Most of the stories took place in post-civil war New Orleans, and along the Mississippi; a few in the took place further west. And, of course, he did have a faithful Indian companion!
I exchange a few pleasantries with Mr. Mahoney in a TV shop in Carlsbad, Cal. around 1980. Only after he left was I informed it was he...he had added perhaps 75 lbs to his Tarzan trim, and had steel gray hair. Good thing too, I'd've embarrassed myself gushing over the YD program.
Here's some more come to mind (not kid shows, tho'):
Tales of the Texas Rangers The Alaskans Hondo Frontier Doctor Laredo Stories of the Century - Jim Davis beat a famous outlaw each week. Here Come the Brides Lancer Stoney Burke
BTW, Johnny Cash sang the theme song for The Rebel which I mentioned in a previous post.
