Regular Shows:

Bronco (Sept. 1958 - Apr. 1962, 68 episodes)

     When Clint Walker temporarily left Cheyenne, Warner Brothers brought in Ty Hardin as a replacement.  Bronco was called Cheyenne for the first season, even though Ty Hardin was starring as "Bronco" Layne, a former Confederate officer.  When Clint Walker returned, Bronco was given its own title.
     The seasons of Bronco are short because Warner Brothers alternated their Westerns every week; Season One alternated with WB's Sugarfoot; Season Two with Cheyenne; Season Three with both Sugarfoot and Cheyenne; and Season Four with just Cheyenne again.  (One week, one show would play, and the next week, a different show would play in the same slot).
Ty Hardin guest-starred as "Bronco" in a number of other WB's Westerns as well.

Season One

Riptide (1969, 26 episodes)

     Riptide was an Australian-produced, hour-long television show about a man named Moss Andrews (Hardin). Andrews, an American businessman, takes a trip to Australia after the death of his young wife, who was native to that country. He decides to stay and help his father-in-law (Chris Christensen) run a charter boat business, and after that---well, what else should he do besides stay, where he can solve mysteries and enjoy the company of beach beauties all day?
Regulars and semi-regulars aside from Hardin include:

Jonathan Sweet
