SUGARFOOT

The theme song from the Will Hutchins television series which ran for four seasons beginning in 1957.  Based on a Will Rodgers movie, Sugarfoot had an unusual hero for a western series -- an Easterner who eschews violence, drinks sarsaparilla, and is a correspondence law school student.  I  loved it and every once in a while I find myself humming the theme song.

    I loved this one most of all although my brother said it was too cute to be a real cowboy show.

      Even beloved family members can be wrong, Patti.

    This one and Cheyenne ran in tandem, as I recall, and I liked them both.

    Richard, Sugarfoot alternated with Cheyenne for its first season, with Cheyenne and Bronco during its second season, and with Bronco during the third season. I liked all of the Warner Brothers westerns, more than most of their detective series. (Although their detective series usually had the cute girls as cast members.)
