IMDb profile |
Dundee and the Culhane was a Western television series starring John Mills and Sean Garrison that aired on the CBS television network from September 7, 1967 until December 13, 1967.
Dundee and the Culhane followed the exploits of two frontier lawyers who provided legal defense to their accused clients. Dundee, played by Mills, was an older English lawyer who travelled to the American Old West and ended up partnering with a young Irish-American lawyer, nicknamed the Culhane.
The show attempted to combine the Western and legal show genres, but with little success. CBS had bought it on the strength of its pilot, but after seeing a few additional episodes and scripts, network officials were convinced that the show was going to fail before it even got started. CBS decided in September to replace Dundee and the Culhane in December with a Jonathan Winters variety hour.
