David Dortort, best known for Bonanza, The High Chaparral, and The Restless Gun, produced the series . Only A Martinez, Robert Carradine, Sean Kelly and Clay O'Brien were in both the film and the television series; the first two reprised their roles from the film, but the latter two did not . At the last moment, ABC decided to change the show's format by reducing its run time from one hour to a half hour, a change which made it difficult to tell stories effectively with the show's large cast . Only 13 episodes were filmed before the series was cancelled . </P>
