So saddle up and join in the fun with the wackiest company of Texas Rangers ever to uphold the law!
Laredo, with its blend of western comedy and high drama, is one of the best television westerns to be found. Laredo premiered in prime time as an episode of The Virginian and was such a big hit, with its wonderful cast, gorgeous color photography, western ambiance and tight, serio-comic scripts, that it was immediately signed for a full season.
Laredo brings together three Texas Rangers with distinctive personalities, strength and weaknesses, under the stern command of Captain Edward Parmalee (Philip Carey). Wacky Reese (Neville Brand), brawny Joe (William Smith) and smooth Chad (Peter Brown) are equally good at roughhouse humor as well as serious law keeping. Chad and Joe are particularly good with the ladies, something most westerns of the day shied away from. In Season 2, Claude Atkins joined the cast as Cotton, a character similar to Brand's Reese, and Robert Wolder made several appearances as Ranger Erik Hunter. Quick in the saddle and quick on the draw, when these lawmen go after evil-doers, they always see justice done.
The show attracted many terrific guest stars, including: Norman Leavitt (Leave It To Dixie); Kathleen Freeman (Scourge Of San Rosa); Jack Kelly (Enemies And Brothers); Barbara Anderson (The Other Cheek); Claude Atkins (A Question Of Guilt); Jeanette Nolan (Like One Of The Family) and Myron Healey (Split The Difference).
