Tales of the Texas Rangers

Tales of the Texas Rangers (1955-1957)

EndedScripted showWestern

Typical western with a twist. The two stars appeared as Texas Rangers but in a different scenario each program. One week, they might be Rangers in the 1840s and the next week they would be current day Rangers, i.e., it was a history of the Texas Rangers.
