In 1956, Desilu obtained the rights to a novelization of the exploits of real-life frontiersman Jim Bowie, which aired on ABC for 2 seasons (1956-8). The abrupt, or so it seemed, cancellation upset the show's star, Scott Forbes, such that he walked off the set while the final episode was in production. Seems Forbes had been promised the show would go for five seasons.
Even though there were plenty of episodes for syndication, as 76 were produced over two seasons, the series was out of circulation by the late 60's.
