From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buffalo Bill, Jr. is an American Western television series starring Dickie Jones that aired in syndication from March 1, 1955, until September 21, 1956.
Synopsis
Jones portrayed Buffalo Bill, Jr., an orphan adopted by Judge Ben Wiley (played by Harry Cheshire). Bill and his younger sister, Calamity (played by Nancy Gilbert), live with Judge Wiley in fictitious Wileyville, Texas, a town founded by the judge. In the script, young Bill is the marshal of Wileyville. Bob Woodward appeared in twenty episodes as a stagecoach driver. The program, which lasted for a season and a half, was produced by Gene Autry's Flying A Productions.
Guest stars who appeared on Buffalo Bill Jr., include: Chris Alcaide, Lane Bradford, X Brands, William Fawcett (five episodes as Banker Taggert), James Griffith, Stacy Harris, Myron Healey (seven times as Butch Cassidy), Ed Hinton, Harry Lauter, Dennis Moore, Slim Pickens, Denver Pyle, Glenn Strange, and Lee Van Cleef.
In 1964, the series appeared on ABC's Saturday morning schedule for one year.
[edit] Comic book
Buffalo Bill Jr. Dell Comics series ran for thirteen issues from January 1956 to August-October 1959. The first six issues appeared in Dell's catch-all nigh-weekly comic book, Four Color Comics #673,742,766,798,828,856. It appeared under its own numbering for issues #7-13. Art by Mike Sekowsky. The final issue was written by Gaylord Du Bois.
Adapting the television series (and outliving it), the comic books sported exciting photo-covers featuring the actor Dickie Jones, a native of Snyder, the seat of Scurry County on the South Plains, portraying the title role.
