Synopsis
Documents the creative history of ""The Virginian"", a TV show. This work investigates the original inspirations for the main character and follows the story through various motion picture adaptations. It focus on ""The Virginian""'s transformation into television. It looks at the ways in which the show changed over time., On September 19, 1962, The Virginian made its primetime broadcast premiere. The 1902 novel by Owen Wister had already seen four movie adaptations when Frank Price mentioned the story's series potential to NBC. Filmed in color, The Virginian became television's first 90-minute western series. Immensely successful, it ran for nine seasons--television's third longest running western. This work accounts for the entire creative history of The Virginian , including the original inspirations and the motion picture adaptations--but the primary focus is its transformation into television and the ways in which the show changed over time. An extensive episode guide includes title, air date, guest star(s), writers, producers, director and a brief synopsis of each of The Virginian 's 249 episodes, along with detailed cast and production credits.

    • One of the best shows on TV in the 60's and 70's.

      The Virginian is my favorite western TV show of all time. I did not even know this book existed untill recently. But when I found out, I had to have it. I have been reading a little at a time. It is very good.

    • How Western T.V. is made

      Great story, and the hours and hours going into production. Reaction from the actors and how they felt about the series.
