6' 6" jack-of-all-trades drifter Cheyenne Bodie (Clint Walker) travels from town to town, from job to job, encountering crafty, murderous cutthroats, venal cowards, wronged citizenry.and heaving, lusting women at seemingly every turn of the path. You don't get much more of a bare-boned set-up than Cheyenne's. No extras for these super-sharp black and white fullscreen transfers. Viewing these polished but unremarkable episodes, as well as pleasant-but-clearly-disengaged man-mountain Walker, it's not surprising the once-mighty ratings winner was put out to pasture at this late date.
Shed of the cancelled Bronco, its final companion series, The Cheyenne Show reverted back to simply Cheyenne (although you wouldn't know it from the titles cards included on these transfers) and finally went solo this last half-season-to no-better ratings-before restless Clint Walker hung up his WB-issued six guns and left television for awhile for heftier paydays on the big screen. Warner Bros.' Archive Collection line of hard-to-find cult and library titles has released Cheyenne: The Complete Seventh Season, a 4-disc, 13-episode collection of the venerable ABC oater's final 1962-1963 round-up.
