Trackdown (1957) "End of an Outlaw" Network print with commercials!

Trackdown stars the great Robert Culp, playing Hoby Gilman, the hippest Texas Ranger on Fifties television. DeForest Kelley, a jobbing actor since 1945, has a prominent role prior to his fame as Dr. McCoy on Star Trek. Kelley appears four times in the two-season series, in different roles each time. Hoby's colleague Dick Wade is played by Willard Sage, who would later experiment on DeForest Kelley in the Star Trek episode "The Empath" (reportedly Kelley's favorite episode).
This network print includes the commercials, from the primary sponsor at the time, Mobil Oil, but there's also an ad for seasonal "Christmas Cartons" of Lucky Strike cigarettes (YIKES).
This is episode 9 of the first season and originally aired November 29, 1957.

I loved this show. I recorded it, to watch again. I’m new to Trackdown. I love these episodes. Jerry from Anaheim, California USA.❤

I am 73 and I have been a Star Trek original fan since it first came out. The episode "The Empath" has also been one of my favorites. The episode could have been done in live theatre, with the long colorful drapes in the background and the minimal stage props in the foreground. But I have only seen it a few times in all these years, so whenever I watch it again, it is almost like seeing it for the first time.

I'm 71 great show, I haven't seen Robert Culp in a long time distinct voice😊

Commercial spots add to the nostalgic flavor.

Outstanding, a Pre-STAR TREK Deforest Kelly.

He played in several westerns in the 50's.

[@mustafajackson9430]

@@davidsmith385 Yes, I heard he really enjoyed doing Westerns.

[@marbleman52]

Thanks...RobotGangster...this was a very clear print. There are other channels that show these episodes of Trackdown but they are fuzzy and not a good print. THANKS...!!

That's funny. Round rock doesn't look a think like that anymore. 😅

Dr. McCoy is the deputy sherrif.

In Fort Wayne we had a Sion Bass who became a colonel and led a unit in the Union Army in the CW. If Sam Bass was from Mitchell Indiana which is southern Indiana, they might have been related.

Culp must have had emphysema Because he always had a self roll in his mouth.
