The date listed is the original production date, and they are listed here in chronological order by date of production. The episodes were all shown for the first time (in black and white) on Friday evenings, 7:30 to 8PM, on CBS-TV. The episode “Phantom Herd” was chosen for the pilot, and it was the first episode to be broadcast—on February 10, 1956. The series went head-to-head with some strong competition, namely Rin-Tin-Tin. In March the following year, CBS moved the show to Saturdays at 7PM. In April and May of ’57 they broadcast it on Sundays at 6PM, and June through August they showed it on Wednesdays at 7:30PM. In September of 1957, NBC picked up the series and began showing the color versions. They aired the show on Sundays at 6:30PM through December. They moved it to 7PM in January of 1958, where it stayed until they showed the series for the last time on May 18th.
