Cheyenne is an American Western television series which ran on ABC from 1955 to 1962. The show broadcast 108 black-and-white episodes. The show was the first hour-long Western, and was the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season. It was also the first series to be made by a major Hollywoodfilm studio which did not derive from its established film properties, and the first of a long chain of Warner Bros. original series produced by William T. Orr.
In "A Man Called Ragan", the titular character of Cheyenne Bodie never appears. That episode was a pilot for The Dakotas (a spin-off of Cheyenne). It was presented as an episode of Cheyenne in 1962; The Dakotas would be on the air until 1963.
