    Trivia
    * Because Michael Ansara did such a convincing portrayal of Cochise, and because of his somewhat Indian-sounding name, many viewers thought he actually was an Indian. In reality, he was born in Syria and his parents, while American citizens, were from Egypt.

    Broken Arrow is a Western series which ran on ABC-TV in prime time from 1956 through 1958 on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
    Eastern time. Repeat episodes were shown by ABC on Sunday afternoons during the 1959–60 season.
    Selected repeats were then shown once again in prime time (on Sunday evenings) during the summer of 1960.


    Good series, which for a change saw the native indians
    in a positive light!
    Michael Ansara, thought the part of Cochise unchallenging,
    but nevertheless was credible in his part.

    Used to watch this as a kid and liked the show. It was my introduction to Michael Ansara and have always liked his acting. The man can play a villain as good as anyone. After Broken Arrow, he went on to his own starring series, Law Of The Plainsman, playing an Indian, Sam Buckhart, who went east to get an education and became a lawman on the western plains. And of course, we all know him as Avalon in The Comancheros. He was also once married to Barbara Eden, yum yum.
