SUGARFOOT

'''Sugarfoot''' is the title of a TV western that aired from 1957 to 1961. The series features Will Hutchins as fledgling frontier lawyer Tom Brewster and Jack Elam as sidekick Toothy Thompson. Brewster is a correspondence-school graduate whose lack of skills earned him the peculiar nickname "'Sugarfoot'."
''Sugarfoot'' was one of the earliest products of the alliance between ABC and the fledgling Warner Brothers Television Department, chaired by William T. Orr. During the same period, other similar shows would appear, including ''Maverick'' with James Garner and Jack Kelly, ''Cheyenne'' with Clint Walker, ''Bronco'' with Ty Hardin, ''Lawman'' with John Russell, and ''Colt .45'' with Wayde Preston. Hutchins appears as Sugarfoot in crossover episodes of ''Cheyenne'' and ''Maverick'', and in an installment of ''Bronco'' called "The Yankee Tornado" featuring Peter Breck as the young Theodore Roosevelt.
