Thank you, sorry I haven't been in E-TV in last couple of months. Nothing like having a guilty conscience to get me to at least poke my head in. Not ready to get back into games, though.
I'm in Chicagoland. I was raised here but left for parts unknown at a very early age (left home at 16), and actually went down to your neck of the woods (Miami) to start. Then to NYC, on to LA and evenutally back to this area with my hubby. I'd love to back anywhere, where they don't do WINTER, though. LOL
It seems that Sugarfoot was a response by WB to fill in for what they were unable to get fillmed for Cheyenne.
"For the 1957-58 season ABC offered to purchase a full season of thirty-nine episodes of Cheyenne, but Warner Brothers declined. Since each hour-long episode took six working days for principle photography alone, the studio couldn't supply a new episode each week. Because Walker appeared in virtually every scene, it was also impossible to shoot more than one episode at a time. Consequently, Warner Brothers developed a second series, Sugarfoot, to alternate with Cheyenne.
"In a gesture that would characterize creativity at Warner Brothers, the studio designed Sugarfoot as only a slight variation on the Cheyenne formula. Will Hutchins played Tom Brewster, a kind-hearted young drifter who travels the West while studying to become a lawyer. Toting a stack of law books and an aversion to violence, he shares Cheyenne Bodie's penchant for meddling in the affairs of others. But whereas Cheyenne usually dispatches conflicts with firepower, Tom Brewster replaces gunplay with a gift for rhetoric--though he knows how to handle a weapon when persuasion fails. The series was more light-hearted than Cheyenne, but otherwise held close to the formula of the heroic loner." (Christopher Anderson)"
