What Might've Been: The Tycoon (1964)

Walter Brennan was a year removed from The Real McCoys when executive producer Danny Thomas came calling again, this time with a different premise.

The Tycoon cast Brennan as Walter Andrews, a millionaire businessman. The series was coupled with McHale's Navy, in its 3rd season, opposite The Red Skelton Hour on CBS, and NBC's freshman spy series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.. Apparently, what viewers abandoned Tycoon would return for Peyton Place, which followed. Go figure.

Two years before The Green Hornet cemented his icon status, Van Williams co-starred as Andrews' associate. George Lindsey, before joining the cast of The Andy Griffith Show full-time, appeared in 2 episodes.

Now, you've already seen this trailer reel with the ABC 1964 preview we've previously screened:
