Some additional Information about Sugarfoot, the TV series from Wikipedia.
Sugarfoot is an American Western series that aired on ABC from 1957 to 1961. The series stars Will Hutchins as the fledgling frontier lawyer from Oklahoma Territory, Tom Brewster, and Jack Elam in occasional episodes as sidekick Toothy Thompson. Brewster was a correspondence-school graduate whose apparent lack of cowboy skills earned him the nickname "Sugarfoot".
Background
The show had no relation to the 1951 Randolph Scott Western film Sugarfoot aside from the studio owning the title, but its pilot episode was a remake of an offbeat 1954 Western called The Boy from Oklahoma, starring Will Rogers, Jr., as Tom Brewster. The pilot and premiere episode, "Brannigan's Boots," was so similar to The Boy from Oklahoma that Sheb Wooley and Slim Pickens reprised their roles from the movie.
As played by Rogers in the film, Brewster never used firearms, preferring to vanquish villains with his roping skills (à la Will Rogers, Sr.) if friendly persuasion failed. Perhaps for practical reasons, the pilot altered the character slightly and makes Brewster reluctant to use firearms but able and willing to do so as a last resort. That was his stance throughout the series, and the title song even mentioned that he carried a rifle as well as law book. Whenever he enters a saloon, Sugarfoot refuses alcohol and orders sarsparilla "with a dash of cherry", a drink similar to root beer.
Sugarfoot was one of the earliest products of the alliance between ABC and the fledgling Warner Brothers Television Department, chaired by William T. Orr. During the same period, other similar programs would appear, including Maverick, Cheyenne, Bronco, Lawman, and Colt .45. Hutchins appeared as Sugarfoot in crossover episodes of Cheyenne and Maverick, and in an installment of Bronco called "The Yankee Tornado", with Peter Breck as the young Theodore Roosevelt. Jack Kelly appeared as Bart Maverick in the Sugarfoot episode "A Price on His Head."
