Bronco
This black & white Western drama from ABC starred Ty Hardin
as former Confederate Army Captain Bronco Lane, now cleaning up
another bit of the Wild West.
The character of Bronco was first introduced in another TV
Western, Cheyenne when the star of that show (Clint Walker
who played Cheyenne Bodie) was dropped after a contract
dispute.
Ty Hardin was introduced briefly as the new star, and when
Walker was ultimately reinstated Hardin received his own show - Bronco.
In Britain, Bronco shared its name with a brand of
toiler paper and was the source of many schoolboy jokes.
