The Dakotas is an American Western television series starring Larry Ward
and featuring Jack Elam broadcast by ABC during 1963.
The short-lived show is a spin-off of Cheyenne,
The Dakotas is perhaps most notable for the fact that it was cancelled one week
after heavy viewer protest over an objectionable scene.
Our member Laramie mentioned this one so here it is.
This series is unknown to me,
so maybe memebers might post a review.

Of all the Westerns on TV during the early 1960s "The Dakotas", produced by Warner Brothers, was by far the very top of the top shelf. The hour long western drama was hard hitting, likely a bit too early for its time, but one true TV Western fans wished was not taken off the air so quickly.
I agree with the vast majority of reviewers, Western TV & motion picture veteran gunman & bad guy, Jack Elam, really made this TV western show one I really looked forward watching, after homework of course. The rest of the cast was equally fine, attempting to maintain the Dakota territorial law any way they could. The show had numerous familiar favourite guest Western stars who appeared, making for great Western TV entertainment. The show's musical score was wonderful! I shall always fondly remember "The Dakotas"!
