Welcome to The Top Ten List!

To commemorate the Featured TV Blog for the month of March, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, I have gathered My Top Ten U.S. Marshal Series! If you’re looking for the best series featuring the United States Marshals Service and fugitive finds, you’ve come to the right place, have a look at my favorite shows that feature a series with U.S. Marshals.

U.S. Marshal is a syndicated American television series featuring John Bromfield as Frank Morgan, a modern-day sheriff who agrees to take over from a marshal who was shot and killed. It is a spinoff of The Sheriff of Cochise (1956–1958), which also starred Bromfield as Morgan and is also set in Cochise, Arizona. The show ran for two seasons, from 1958 to 1960. Marshal Morgan battles crooks of every variety from car thieves to safecrackers to killers to conmen. This was Bromfield's last role; he retired shortly afterward and became a commercial fisherman. Robert Altman directed 15 episodes from 1959 to 1960. James Griffith, Robert Brubaker and Buck Young played Morgan's deputies. The show has been released to both VHS and DVD.
The Marshal of Gunsight Pass is an American live broadcast Western television series that began on March 12, 1950, and ended on September 30, 1950, with a one-month hiatus in April and May. Based on a radio program, the show starred Russell Hayden (1912–1981), Eddie Dean (1907–1999), and Riley Hill as Marshal No. 1, Marshal No. 2, and Marshal No. 3, respectively. Hayden, who is not identified by a character name, left the program because he was dissatisfied with the way it was directed. Dean uses his own name in the series, and Hill is known as "Riley Roberts". Smith Ballew took over the title role in May 1950. Roscoe Ates (1895–1962) played the stuttering, popeyed deputy Roscoe; Andy Parker (1913–1977), Andy,[citation needed] and Bert Wenland (1929–2004), Bud Glover. Jan Sterling (1921–2004), then Jane Adrian, appeared at the age of twenty-nine as Ruth, the deputy's niece. In May 1950, Kay Christopher was the female lead. The ABC program was broadcast from the former Vitagraph Studios site, near Chatsworth, which the network had bought. The network invested more than $1 million to enable production of this and other live programs. All scenes were shot indoors, with projectors used to create background images — stationary or moving — for outdoor action. Geared toward a children's audience, the program was telecast live to West Coast stations and viewed via kinescope elsewhere. Even in 1950, the production of the program seemed unusually primitive. However, the studio did have a large collection of Western props and sets, as well as live horses. The 22-episode[citation needed] series aired live at 7 p.m. on Thursdays on the West Coast. Nancy Goodwin was the program's chief writer. From 1952-1954, CBS also aired a live afternoon Western, Action in the Afternoon.
