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.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“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)
“‘Tis the gift to be simple ‘tis the gift to be free
‘Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be
And when we find ourselves in the place just right
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.”
—Unknown. ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple.
