Cheyenne

Cheyenne Bodie cut a striking figure—a former Army scout who rode west after the Civil War, drifting from one assignment to another: a cowboy here, a lawman there, forever a larger-than-life presence. CHEYENNE is an American Western television series comprising 108 black-and-white episodes that aired on ABC from 1955 to 1963. It was the first hour-long Western, and indeed the first hour-long dramatic series of any genre with continuing characters to endure for more than one season. It also marked the debut of a major Hollywood studio producing a series not derived from its existing film properties, and it inaugurated a long line of Warner Bros. original series produced by William T. Orr.
