COWBOY G-MEN (1952-1953) - A reader recently mentioned the old Robert Conrad series The Wild Wild West, and that reminded me of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. AND the much earlier television western titled Cowboy G-Men. That last series featured fictional exploits of U.S. Secret Service Agents in the old west.
The stories in Cowboy G-Men were a bit more realistic and low-key than the ones for Jim West and Brisco County Jr. but the half-hour series - in COLOR - had some interesting episodes. Russell Hayden starred as Agent Pat Gallagher and Jackie Coogan starred as Agent Stoney Crockett. Author Louis L'Amour was one of the show's writers. No, the term G-Men was not around back in the 1870s but it was just a television show. | | |
