Synopsis

Cheyenne is an American western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1963. The show was the first hour-long western, and in fact 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 Brothers original series produced by William T. Orr.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
cebiedorsey-191-125544 To this day, Clint Walker & 'Cheyenne' is my favorite Western cowboy star/show! He was the larger than life gentleman of the old West. I loved his show (still watch reruns), have ordered items from his website "The Big Guy Himself", and had an opportunity to meet him when I was a young teenage girl....an opportunity that I MISSED because we were at the PG county fair (in Maryland) & just before his arrival my mother sent me to locate my younger sister who had wandered off!! That was about 50 years ago & it STILL upsets me! Especially since my Mom met him & raved over how big & handsome he was!!CLINT, I've read your bios, heard some of your interviews, including the amazing story of your skiing accident that nearly took your life. I'm no kid anymore,will be 63 next month, & I know you are in your late 80's. I also remember that you don't travel by air much anymore since planes are so cramped for a big man like you. BUT, I would fly out there to get the chance to meet you in person, get a hug & share a short visit! You will always be the cowboy with a heart, a solid moral compass & a man who treated a lady the way a lady wants to be treated. It must be noted that God must have been showing off when He made you, but while your strong, handsome exterior caught the eye, it was the man that you exhibited that caught our hearts. I don't think any of us who were so captivated then have lost one ounce of our affection for you!
mamez57 I have had a "crush" on this man ever since I saw the first "Cheyenne" TV show - I am now 62 years old and I still remember the goose bumps I would get just looking at him. And that voice - when I grew older I would pretend that he would whisper "sweet nothings" in my ear. The only reason I watched the show was to look at him - I couldn't tell you what any of the shows were about - but I remember him. I guess you could say that he was my first love. And to think that he used to live not far from me!!! Who knew???? The only other TV star that ever made me feel that way was Gardner McKay of "Adventures in Paradise". Talk about two opposites!
aimless-46 Running 107 episodes, from 1955 through 1963, "Cheyenne" was one of the first "television" productions from the Warner Brothers film studio. Clint Walker plays the title character, an ex-frontier scout who was raised by Cheyenne Indians after his parents were killed. Cheyenne Bodie roams the West in the days after the Civil War, having adventures and helping folks out. The tall laconic hero would eventually become television's quintessential loner but actually started out with a sidekick named Smitty (L.Q. Jones) who was a mapmaker. Cheyenne and Smitty do mapping work for the Army and in this occupation stumble across the people who make up each episode's story. The current DVD set covers the 15 episodes from Season One and includes a recent interview with Clint Walker called "The Lonely Gunfighter: The Legacy of Cheyenne". The reason there are only 15 episodes is because "Cheyenne" was only broadcast every third week, being part of an anthology series called "Warner Brothers Presents" which also included "Casablanca" (with Marcel Dalio) and "King's Row" (with Robert Horton and Jack Kelly). In subsequent seasons the anthology would feature shows like "Conflict", "Sugarfoot", and "Bronco Lane". Contrary to popular belief, the episodes on the 1st season DVD have not been abbreviated. Although they run less that the normal 50 minutes (60 minutes minus commercials) it is because the original broadcasts took some additional minutes for Warner Brothers to use in promoting their coming attractions; with a behind the scenes look at one of their soon to be released features. Also unique to the first season was an attempt to add scale to the stories by inserting a lot of stock footage of cattle drives, Indian attacks, and huge wagon trains. In general they did a better job than most "B" westerns of matching this footage to the back lot and sound stage stuff featuring the actual cast of each episode. But this technique and the busy schedule was a nightmare for the editors. The first episode "Mountain Fortress" includes a particularly amusing continuity issue. Watch how the sergeant and the trooper are killed early in an Indian attack, then magically reappear in a subsequent group shot. Most likely the editors noticed the problem but there was not time to re-shoot the scene with the correct cast. At least two episodes take actual movie plots and retell them in a Western setting. "Fury at Rio Hondo" is a retelling of "To Have and to Have Not" with Peggy Castle outstanding in the Lauren Bacall role. "The Argonaunts" is a retelling of "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and features Rod Taylor.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.
angelmom53 I always watched Cheyenne when I was real young never missed the show. It was one of my favorite shows of all times. Clint Walker was very nice looking. And a great body for back then. His shows were always exciting, never dull. He seem to have a heart of gold, very well mannered. I would always get my chores done just to go and watch Cheyenne. And then all of my brothers and sisters would join in and watch too. I just can't figure out why Cheyenne is not rerunning like the other shows such as Bonanza, Raw Hide, Gunsmoke. Cheyenne was just as classy or in some cases more classy than these shows. But I liked them all. Thank You Angelmom53
