when Icons Meet: Adam West on The Rifleman (1961)

 From season 3 of The Rifleman:

The ice storm that hit Texas a few winters reminds us that the Southwest is not immune to winter weather. In the episode, "Stopover", Lucas (Chuck Connors) welcomes a group of stagecoach passengers seeking shelter in the midst of a snowstorm in North Fork.

Adam West, Bethel Leslie, & Gordon Jones (ex-The Abbott & Costello Show) are among the guest stars. Joe Higgins appears as Scotty, instead of his more familiar role as a blacksmith on the series.


Adam West impressed the show's producers, Arnold Laven, Jules Levy, & Arthur Gardner, such that he joined the cast of their other series, The Detectives, the following fall.
