Dusty's Trail TV Series 1973 - 1974
Dusty's Trail is an American Western/comedy series that aired in syndication from 1973 to 1974 starring Bob Denver and Forrest Tucker. The series is a western-themed reworking of Denver's previous (and more well known) series Gilligan's Island. Two coachmen and five passengers of a wagon and stagecoach become separated from their wagon train on the way to California in the early 1870s. The group includes wagonmaster Mr. Callahan and his shotgun lookout Dusty, Mr. and Mrs. Brookhaven (a wealthy Eastern banker and his wife), book-smarts thinker Andy, dance-hall girl Lulu McQueen, and farm girl Betsy. The show follows their adventures while they attempt to return to their wagon train. According to the theme song, "...Dusty's the reason for their plight, thanks to Dusty – nothing's right" This collection offers 17 of the 26 episodes from the western comedy series' first and only season. These 17 episodes, for reasons not entirely clear, were not properly copyrighted; these were among some of the last episodes of a regular TV series to lapse into the public domain.
