Cheyenne is an American Western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1962. The show was the first hour-long Western, and was the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season. It was also the first series to be made by a major Hollywood film studio which did not derive from its established film properties, and the first of a long chain of Warner Bros. original series produced by William T. Orr.

Synopsis

The show starred Clint Walker, a native of Illinois, as Cheyenne Bodie, a physically large cowboy with a gentle spirit in search of frontier justice who wanders the American West in the days after the American Civil War. The first episode, "Mountain Fortress", is about robbers pretending to be Good Samaritans. It features James Garner (who had briefly been considered for the role of Cheyenne but could not be located until after Walker had already been cast[4]) as a guest star, but with higher billing given to Ann Robinson as Garner's intended bride. The episode reveals that Bodie's parents were killed by Indians, tribe unknown. He was taken by Cheyenne Indians when he was an infant but left to be raised by a white family when he was 12. (One episode, "West of the River", is inconsistent with this, stating that he was taken and raised by the Cheyenne when he was 10 years old, and he left them by choice when he was 18 years old.[5]) In the series, the character Bodie maintains a positive and understanding attitude toward the Native Americans, despite the death of his parents.

In Season 5, Episode 1, "The Long Rope", which originally aired on September 26, 1960, Cheyenne returns to the town where he was raised by a family (the Pierces) whose father/husband Jeff was lynched when he, Cheyenne, was a youth. This causes the viewer some confusion, as it was said that Cheyenne was raised by a Cheyenne tribe after unknown Indians had killed his parents, but the various accounts say that he left the tribe at 12 or 18.

Cast

  • Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie (107 episodes)
  • L.Q. Jones appeared as "Smitty" Smith in episodes 1, 2 and 4 but, other than that, there were no other continuing characters, although several actors were frequently used in guest or bit roles. Clyde Howdy appeared as a variety of characters in 49 episodes; Chuck Hicks can be seen playing assorted characters in 15 episodes; and Lane Chandler appears as different characters in 10 episodes.

Background and production

The series began as a part of Warner Bros. Presents, a "wheel program" rotating three different series. In its first year, Cheyenne traded broadcast weeks with Casablanca and Kings Row.[6] Thereafter, Cheyenne was overhauled by new producer Roy Huggins and left the umbrella of that wheel.

Cheyenne ran from 1955 to 1963, except for a hiatus when Walker went on strike for better terms (1958–1959); among other demands, the actor wanted increased residuals, a reduction of the 50% cut of personal appearance payments which had to be turned over to Warner Bros., and a release from the restriction of recording music only for the company's own label.[7]

The interim had the introduction of a virtual Bodie-clone called Bronco Layne, played by Ty Hardin, born in New York City but raised in Texas. Hardin was featured as the quasi-main character during Bodie's absence. When Warner Bros. renegotiated Walker's contract and the actor returned to the show in 1959, Bronco was spun off.

Even after returning to the program – having been prohibited from seeking other work during the long contract negotiation – Walker was unhappy to continue to play a role which he felt he had already exhausted. He told reporters that he felt like "a caged animal."[7]

Spin-offs and crossovers

Clint Walker as Cheyenne, 1957

At the conclusion of the sixth season, a special episode "A Man Named Ragan" was aired, the pilot for a program called The Dakotas, starring Larry Ward, Chad Everett, Jack Elam, and Michael Greene, which was to have replaced Cheyenne in the middle of the next season. However, because Cheyenne Bodie never appeared in "Ragan", the two programs are only tenuously linked.[2]

Walker reprised the Cheyenne Bodie character in 1991 for the TV movie The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, which featured numerous actors from earlier television series playing their original roles (Jack Kelly, Brian Keith, Gene Barry, Hugh O'Brien, Chuck Connors, David Carradine, et al.); and also portrayed Cheyenne in a time travel episode of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues called "Gunfighters" in 1995.
