"The Texan" is a Western television series starring popular B movie star Rory Calhoun. It aired on the CBS television network from 1958 1960.

Overview

In "The Texan," Calhoun played Bill Longley, a Civil War Veteran from Texas who roams the Wild West helping people in need. Often the plot would center around Longley helping an old friend or a relative of an old friend. He was known by name and reputation as a fearsome gunfighter, and his reputation both saved time and caused him trouble.

Calhoun co-produced "The Texan" in partnership with Desilu Productions, the production company founded by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

"The Texan" ran for only two seasons. After the 79 episode run, Calhoun returned to starring and co-starring in "B" Westerns, and making occasional television appearances.
