Wild West Wednesdays: The series premiere of Law of The Plainsman (1959)

 Spun off from The Rifleman, Law of The Plainsman lasted just 1 season on NBC, as apparently, ABC, home of The Rifleman passed on Plainsman.

Marshal Sam Buckhart (Michael Ansara, ex-Broken Arrow) had appeared in 2 episodes of Rifleman, but audiences were indifferent to a series with a Native American lawman as the lead.

Check the opener, "The Prairie Incident".


In 2 weeks: The Three Stooges in "Gold Raiders".
