Frontier Circus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frontier Circus was a short-lived Western television series about a traveling circus roaming the American West in the 1880s. The show aired on the CBS television network from October 5, 1961 until September 6, 1962.

The show featured such veteran Western television and movie performers as J. Pat O'Malley, Roy Barcroft, Richard Jaeckel, and Chill Wills. The circus ran into lots of trouble and troubled characters during its short run.

The difference between its plot and the plot of most standard Westerns may have led to its short run. Frontier Circus has not enjoyed wide syndication in the US since it's cancellation.
