Lawman is an American western television series originally telecast on ABC from 1958 to 1962 starring John Russell as Marshal Dan Troop and featuring Peter Brown as Deputy Marshal Johnny McKay. The series was set in Laramie, Wyoming during 1879 and the 1880s. Warner Bros. already had several western series on the air at the time, having launched Cheyenne with Clint Walker as early as 1955. The studio continued the trend in 1957 with the additions of Maverick with James Garner and Jack Kelly, Colt .45 with Wayde Preston, and Sugarfoot with Will Hutchins. One year later, Warner Bros. added Lawman and Bronco with Ty Hardin.
Prior to the beginning of production, Russell and Brown and producer Jules Schermer made a pact to maintain the quality of the series so that it would not be seen as "just another western." At the start of season two, Russell and Brown were joined by Peggie Castle as Lily Merrill, the owner of the Birdcage Saloon, and a love interest for Dan. close

Cimarron Strip is an American Western television series that aired on CBS from September 1967 to March 1968. Starring Stuart Whitman as Marshal Jim Crown, the series was produced by the creators of Gunsmoke. Reruns of the original show were aired in the summer of 1971.
Cimarron Strip was one of only three 90-minute weekly Western series that aired during the 1960s, and the only 90-minute series of any kind to be centered primarily around one lead character. Cimarron Strip was set in the Oklahoma Panhandle, which comprises, east to west, Beaver, Texas, and Cimarron counties in Oklahoma. The show is set in 1888, just as the continuous frontier of the West, which once ran from the Canadian to the Mexican border, was closing. In less than five years there would no longer be that "continuous frontier," only pockets of undeveloped land. This was the late "Wild West" that Marshall Jim Crown was called to defend. close

The scene is a giant territory between Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Time of action is a post-apocalyptic future. The old civilization is destroyed. In the wilderness scattered remains of cities. Cultures and languages are mixed.
Once again, people believe in nature spirits and communicate with heaven. On this empty Great Steppe our hero goes from one settlement to another. His fishing is questionable. In his bag is a small supply of medicines, cigarettes and other remnants of his former life, which can be exchanged for something valuable.
Some time ago, this vagabond found a dying shaman in the steppe who handed him amulets and named him Ugedechi (the name of people who know how to cause rain). With these shamanic amulets around his neck, the wanderer appeared in the ancient land of Ara-Khalha, where it has long been a drought and people do not remember the last time water fell from the sky.
Farmers accept him as a rain caster and offer to perform the ceremony for a fee. The crooked tramp, feeling “easy money”, agrees to perform the action. Gabar Singh, the local “Lord of All Ara-Khalha” who and his mercenaries control the only water supply, learns.
Farmers and herders depend on him for water. Gubar meets with Ugedechi and offers to cooperate. “Let it rain – that’s good!” he said. But let him go when he needs to and in the right place.
An enterprising vagabond agrees to an alliance and the next night tries to escape, taking with him the savings of farmers and the "Sovereign". He is caught by Gubar's vigilante guards. Our hero has been exposed and faces severe punishment. Then he was crucified in the desert, doomed to die of thirst or of the teeth of the cannibals.
Only a miracle can save him. And it happens! The unexpected turn of fate predicted by the fortune teller... close
