Bronco: S1

Ex-Confederate Officer Bronco Layne (Ty Hardin) rode back to the Texas Panhandle only to discover his home -- and his honor -- now lost to him. And so Bronco wanders the West, armed with a lightning draw and thunder in his fists, fighting for the justice he was denied. Initially filling in for Clint Walker on Cheyenne, the "Texas twister" proved a quick hit with viewers, alternating adventures with Will Hutchins' Sugarfoot. "Cheyenne starring Ty Hardin as Bronco Layne" might have been a mouthful but, thankfully, Bronco came complete with his own catchy theme song. This 5-Disc, 20-Episode collection sees Bronco defend besieged settlers, uncover fatal locomotive sabotage, tackle the mystery of a man frozen inside a glacier, and sail the prairie with a landlocked Navy officer (Lorne Greene). Sharing the sagebrush with Bronco are notable guests the likes of Wayne Morris, Jack Elam, James Coburn, Robert Vaughn and Troy Donahue.
