Series Description:

FRONTIER TOWN was a syndicated Western that aired on CBS stations and
ran through the 1952-1953 season.  It was syndicated by Broadcasters
Program Syndicate / Bruce Eells and Associates syndication.  The main
character, Chad Remington, a two fisted lawyer in the town of Dos
Rios, was played by Jeff Chandler who was billed as "Tex" Chandler.
He had a sidekick, Cherokee O'Bannon, played by Wade Crosby, who
spoke in a W. C. Fields dialect. Mr. Chandler remained in the lead
role for the first 23 shows and was replaced by Reed Hadley who
played Remington until the end of the series.  Bill Forman was the
announcer for the series.

This is an action series, directed toward juvenile listener, more
in the spirit of THE LONE RANGER or WILD BILL HICKOK than the adult
westerns that became popular in the 1950's.
