Bronco Lane

 Bronco is a Western series on ABC from 1958 through 1962.
The program starred Ty Hardin as Bronco Layne, a former Confederate officer
who wandered the Old West, meeting such well-known individuals as Wild Bill Hickok,
Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Theodore Roosevelt, Belle Starr, Cole Younger, and
John Wesley Hardin (the latter played by Scott Marlowe).

Bronco premiered in the fall of 1958 when Warner Brothers executives and actor
Clint Walker clashed over Walker's contract on the series Cheyenne. Walker had
walked out on his show over such stringent clauses as a requirement that he return
half of all personal appearance fees to Warner Brothers, and that he only record for
Warner music labels. When the two sides came to an impasse, the network hired
newcomer Ty Hardin to play the new character of Bronco Layne, but kept the title of
Cheyenne.

When Walker came back to his series, Bronco became a spin-off of Cheyenne. Bronco
at first alternated with another Western series, Sugarfoot, featuring Will Hutchins.
In 1960, the two began alternating with Cheyenne under the Cheyenne title.
Sugarfoot was dropped in 1961, leaving only Bronco and Cheyenne to alternate.
Other Warner Brothers westerns in production around this time included Maverick
with James Garner, Jack Kelly, and Roger Moore, Colt .45 with Wayde Preston,
and Lawman with John Russell; series characters occasionally crossed over into
each other's series.

According to the theme song, Bronco came from the Texas Panhandle, but episodes
of the series are set throughout the West.
