He learns through one of the paintings hanging on the castle wall, the only way to escape the clutches of the sorceress is by a hidden door. He is then thrown into a battle against her fiendish slaves in a rescue mission that would lead him and his friends through dark creepy dungeons and passageways littered with spooky skeletons, dusty armour, spiders watching from cobwebs, and the sound of eerie echoing voices. Running and stumbling, and constantly looking over their shoulders as the massive bar-guest, a phantom bear-like creature chases them while the trees look on...

On September 19, 1962, The Virginian made its primetime broadcast premiere. The 1902 novel by Owen Wister had already seen four movie adaptations when Frank Price mentioned the story's series potential to NBC. Filmed in color, The Virginian became television's first 90-minute western series. Immensely successful, it ran for nine seasons--television's third longest running western. This work accounts for the entire creative history of The Virginian, including the original inspirations and the motion picture adaptations--but the primary focus is its transformation into television and the ways in which the show changed over time. An extensive episode guide includes title, air date, guest star(s), writers, producers, director and a brief synopsis of each of The Virginian's 249 episodes, along with detailed cast and production credits.
