Wild West Wednesdays: The series premiere of Lancer (1968)

 Lancer, some might think, was CBS' long delayed response to NBC's long running Bonanza, except it was on a different night.

In the opener, Murdoch (Andrew Duggan) reunites his two sons, Scott (James Stacy), who has returned home from Boston, and Johnny (Wayne Maunder, ex-Custer), promising them each a share of their land in exchange for driving out some outlaw raiders.

Joe Don Baker and future icon Gordon Jump are among the guest stars.


We'll reach into the Four Star archives in 2 weeks.
