The Phil Silvers Show, originally titled You'll Never Get Rich, was a sitcom which ran on CBS from 1955 to 1959 for 142 episodes, plus a 1959 special. The series starred Phil Silvers as Master Sergeant Ernest G. Bilko of the United States Army.
The series was created and largely written by Nat Hiken, and won three consecutive Emmy Awards for Best Comedy Series. The show is sometimes titled Sergeant Bilko or simply Bilko in reruns, and is very often referred to by these names, both on-screen and by viewers. The show's success transformed Silvers from a journeyman comedian into a star, and writer-producer Hiken from a highly-regarded behind-the-scenes comedy writer into a publicly recognized creator.
Gunsmoke es una serie de drama de televisión y radio estadounidense ambientada en el Oeste. Creada por el director Norman MacDonnell y el guionista John Meston, la historia tiene lugar en Dodge City, Kansas y sus alrededores, durante la colonización del oeste americano. El personaje principal es el sheriff Marshal Matt Dillon, interpretado por James Arness.
La serie cuenta con 20 temporadas entre 1955 y 1975 y fue la serie estadounidense de drama más larga con 635 episodios. In 2010, Ley y Orden batió este récord de 20 temporadas. Al final de su transmisión en 1975, el columnista de Los Angeles Times, Cecil Smith, escribió: "Gunsmoke ha sido la dramatización de la legenda épica del oeste americano. Nuestra propia Odisea e Ilíada, creada con los elementos básicos de una novela de bajo presupuesto del oeste".
Wichita Town is a half-hour western television series starring Joel McCrea, Jody McCrea, Carlos Romero, and George Neise that aired on NBC from September 30, 1959, until April 6, 1960.
Joel McCrea played Marshal Mike Dunbar, in charge of keeping the peace the booming cowtown of Wichita, Kansas. His deputies were Ben Matheson, played by McCrea's real life son, Jody, and Rico Rodriquez, portrayed by Carlos Romero. Making occasional appearances were the town doctor, Nat Wyndham, the blacksmith, Aeneas MacLinahan, and the bartender in the local saloon, Joe Kingston, played in six episodes by Robert Foulk.
The model for shows such as these had already been laid out by other western programs such as Gunsmoke, Lawman, and The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, so Wichita Town may not have been unique in its plotting and structure. The two most unusual features about the series were the presence of Joel McCrea, a favorite of Western movie audiences for his performance in such films as Union Pacific, Buffalo Bill, and Ramrod, and the fact that his real life son was in Wichita Town, but did not play his son. Wichita Town was produced by Mirisch Company and Joel McCrea's Production company for Four Star Television and aired for a single season.
