Frontier Circus COMPLETE S01
www.imdb.com/title/tt0054540/
Set in the Southwest during the late 1800’s, Frontier Circus was a cross between a circus drama and a traditional western. The T&T Circus, operated by Colonel Casey Thompson (Chill Wills), traveled from town to town in a wagon train, entertaining the recent arrivals with animal acts and typical circus extras. Of course, the West being the West, the circus often ran into trouble. Ben Travis (John Derek) was the straw boss who supervised the workmen, and Tony Gentry (Richard Jaeckel) was the advance man. Rounding out the regular cast was veteran character actor J. Pat O’Malley as hired hand Duffy. Along the way, many notable guest stars "ran away" to the circus, including Aldo Ray, Harry Carey, Jr., Brian Keith, Vera Miles, Rip Torn, Cloris Leachman, Claude Akins, Stella Stevens and a unique star turn by Sammy Davis, Jr. Although Frontier Circus ran for only one season, its place in the history of the television western is secure.

Haggard COMPLETE S 1-2
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098816/
Squire Haggard, the womanising, destitute former friend of the Prince of Wales, optimistically searches for rich men "willing" to part with their money, and rich, beautiful women willing to part with their virtue. His handsome son, Roderick, a typical Regency Buck, falls in love very easily, and the objects of his desire just happen to be very beautiful Ladies of Quality, who are heiresses to large fortunes. Squire Haggard, desperate to restore the family fortune, often uses his son in his ‘get rich, quick’ schemes – however, Roderick’s foolishness usually brings his father’s schemes undone. Their sly underhanded servant, Grunge, despises his ‘put upon’ position in life and, through guile and other means, has actually been able to acquire more wealth than his master. This money, however, is often at stake through the Squire’s involving Grunge in his plots.
