''Hondo'' is a 17-episode Western television series starring Ralph Taeger that aired in the United States on ABC during the 1967 fall season. The series was produced by Batjac Productions, Inc., Fenady Associates, Inc., and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Television. ==Overview== ''Hondo'' is based on the 1953 film of the same name starring John Wayne, which was in turn an offshoot of an early Louis L'Amour novel. It concerns Hondo Lane, a former Confederate cavalry officer who had moved west following the Civil War and taken an Indian bride, only to see her killed as part of a massacre of Indians conducted by United States Army troops. Now Hondo and his dog, Sam, travel alone and seek to prevent further trouble between the Army and the remaining Indians. They also fight to counter land grabbers and other outlaws. While the Wayne film had been fairly successful, this series, airing against the hit sitcom ''Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.'' on CBS and ''Star Trek'' on NBC, was soon canceled, with the last broadcast occurring on December 29, 1967. The rule of thumb for syndication is at least 100 episodes, but ''Hondo'', with only seventeen segments, became popular after it left the air and became the subject of an article in the ''Wall Street Journal''. The first two episodes were edited together to form the feature film ''Hondo and the Apaches'', which was released theatrically outside of North America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hondo (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
