Cheyenne was a western television series created for Warner Brothers studios by Roy Huggins that featured Clint Walker as Cheyenne Bodie, a physically huge cowboy wandering the Old West. The series ran from 1955 to 1963, except for the time Walker struck for higher pay and the series was temporarily replaced by a similar show called Bronco that featured Ty Hardin as Bronco Lane, a physically huge cowboy wandering the Old West. Afterward, the two series alternated in the same time slot from 1958 to 1962, with Bronco as the junior partner (only a snippet of his theme song was heard in the opening credits, as a kind of aural footnote to Cheyenne's).
