Lawman

Starring John Russell as Marshal Dan Troop and Peter Brown as Deputy Marshal Johnny McKay, Lawman aired on ABC from 1958 to 1962 and was set in Laramie, Wyoming, during the late 1870s and 1880s. Warner Bros. added it to its existing lineup of westerns, which already included Cheyenne, Maverick, Colt .45, and Sugarfoot. Before production, Russell, Brown, and producer Jules Schermer agreed to maintain quality so the show wouldn't be seen as just another western. In season two, Peggie Castle joined as Lily Merrill, owner of the Birdcage Saloon and a love interest for Dan.
