As Encore Westerns hasn't yet aired the "Bronco" and "Sugarfoot" segments of "The Cheyenne Show," it's not surprising that they don't air this episode either.
"The Dakotas" replaced Cheyenne. "The Cheyenne Show" aired its last episode in December 1962. "The Dakotas" started in January 1963, the same night and slot Cheyenne used to have and ran for the rest of the 1962-63 season, after which it was cancelled. It was also produced by Warner Bros. |

Has anyone heard as to whether or not Encore Westerns will start airing one of those two?

CHEYENNE is the only show from the classic tv series from 1955-1963 which has the complete first Season onto dvd. In my humble opinion,I believe CHEYENNE was the most popular show,during their heydays. But,what do I know,I'm just a Babyboomer. |

Actually, Encore did air The Virginian on its Western channel in the 90's, along with several others such as The Rebel, and Wanted Dead or Alive. So it would make sense to be included this time.
