      Coulda, shoulda, woulda. This show wasn't that well done. But look at Gunsmoke. The longer it was on the better it got. I'm with you in thinking the execs missed the wagon on this one. I can see it surpassing Gunsmoke and Have Gun Will Travel. For me to say that is almost sacrilege. But looking at the history of TV series few started out great. Some got that way after a few episodes with lessons learned. I firmly believe this would have been one of those.

    A very good western with Dennis Morgan and a very good supporting cast. In title only, this was somewhat of a transfer from the radio series, "Tales of the Texas Rangers" with Joel McCrea. However, instead of one on-going main character as in the radio series, the proposed new series was to have new leads every week. This could have been a high quality series if the following shows had been of this high caliber.

    • @actionsub
      @actionsub 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope. "Tales of the Texas Rangers" became a separate TV series that same year. Speaking of Joel McCrea, he faced the same problem when he and Walter Mirisch tried to adapt the movie "Wichita" about Wyatt Earp's tenure there to TV. Since Hugh O'Brian did such a great job as Wyatt Earp on ABC, the networks didn't want another series about Wyatt Earp. They were forced to change the names from Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson to Mike Dunbar and Ben Matheson, the series "Wichita Town" finally hit TV in 1959, and it died the death of being too similar to four or five shows with the same format.

    Bob, you sure you got this one right? IMDB has it as Season 1 Episode 25 of an anthology series known as "Stage 7". I couldn't find anything mentioning it as a 'tv pilot.' "Fox Hunt" was the 25th and final episode of Season 1, and first aired on September 25, 1955. Stage 7 ran for two years: January 30, 1955 to September 17, 1956. However, there are only three episodes listed which ran for Season 2; all three of which aired in September 1956. /// Well now after watching the introduction I can see where this was the pilot for a potential new series. Dennis Morgan comes on and gives the whole spiel about the Texas Rangers. Nothing was wasted in those days. Pilots that never aired as pilots or were rejected outright might show up later in the same series as just another episode, or maybe used as filler by someone else. The original Star Trek pilot ended up as a two-part episode in the Star Trek series. So either this show was meant to be spun out of the 'Stage 7' anthology as its own series or it was sold to Stage 7 and they made it one of their episodes. /// I also noticed John Doucette is in this. I get a hoot everytime I see him because I remember him in an episode of "Tombstone Territory" where he plays Geronimo--yes, GERONIMO--the chief of the Indians. I still laugh everytime I think about John Doucette wearing a wig and playing Geronimo.😂

      Probably the same idiot who greenlit "Tales of the Texas Rangers" instead. That show also hit TV in 1955; likewise it was based on true Texas Ranger case files. Since advertisers were the ones who made the call on whether a pilot would go to production or not, I imagine it was "well we've got two shows here with the same concept, we can only pick one".
