Production Notes
- The original working title of the series was The Searchers, according to George Maharis. That was the title of the 1956 film The Searchers directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne, so the series was renamed.
- The episode "I'm Here to Kill a King," originally scheduled to air on November 29, 1963, was removed from the schedule because of President John F. Kennedy's assassination one week earlier. It was (according to TV schedule listings published at the time) not aired until the series went into syndication. This episode, and "A Long Way from St. Louie," are the only ones filmed outside the US. Both were filmed in Canada, the latter in Toronto.
- Sam Peckinpah wrote and directed an episode of season 2, "Mon Petit Chou," in 1961.
