Production
Created by Larry Cohen, the show was co-produced for most of its run by Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions in association with Sentinel Productions, Inc. Goodson-Todman was primarily known not for Westerns or dramatic shows, but almost exclusively for game and panel shows such as What's My Line? and The Price is Right. Present-day U.S. rights to Branded came into the ownership of King World before it became CBS Television Distribution. Many stations that carry Branded today usually schedule the program alongside another programs about drifters in the Old West including Aaron Spelling's The Guns of Will Sonnett, which starred Walter Brennan alongside Norman "Dack" Rambo and Johnny Yuma.
The series followed Connors' highly popular series The Rifleman, but it did not have that show's longevity, lasting only 48 episodes divided between only two seasons, the first in black and white, the second in color.
Andrew J. Fenady also served as the producer, later executive producer, on the series. Fenady was the producer of The Rebel, as well.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
