Sugarfoot is the title of a TV western that aired from 1957 to 1961. The series features Will Hutchins as fledgling frontier lawyer Tom Brewster and Jack Elam as sidekick Toothy Thompson. Brewster is a correspondence-school graduate whose lack of skills earned him the peculiar nickname "Sugarfoot." Produced by Warner Bros. and broadcast on the ABC network, Sugarfoot was one of several such western TV series being filmed by Warner Bros. during the same period, including Maverick with James Garner and Jack Kelly, Cheyenne with Clint Walker, Bronco with Ty Hardin, Lawman with John Russell, and Colt .45 with Wayde Preston. Hutchins appears as Sugarfoot in crossover episodes of Cheyenne and Maverick, and in an installment of Bronco called "The Yankee Tornado" featuring Peter Breck as the young Theodore Roosevelt.
