- Russell western TV series episode starring Fess Parker, Jay C. Flippen, Paul Carr and Beverly Garland this is the pilot episode of a suggested TV series titled Russell from about 1960. This is episode 35 of The Forsaken Westerns, an original TV series produced by Westerns On The Web Productions in cooperation with The Westerns Channel. This episode was originally released on April 2 of 2018 on The Westerns Channel. Borden Chase was hired in the early 1950s by United Artists to write a screenplay about Charles M. Russell's life. In July of 1955 United Artists announced Audie Murphy was to star as Charlie Russell. In a movie to be titled The Charles Russell Story. But the project was delayed and never happened. Then in the late 1950's or early 1960's Glenn Ford arrived in Montana scouting locations for the production and he was to star as Charlie. But again the production was stalled and never happened. So as another effort this pilot was made to try to produce a TV series about Charlie Russell. And again a production to be done about Charlie stalled out because the series was not picked up by a sponsor. So this episode never aired on television. This episode is a very fictitious story about Charlie and only has a few things in common with the real life Charles Marion Russell the Cowboy Artist. If you are interested in learning more about the Real Charles M. Russell there are several great books about the Cowboy Artist. The Charles M. Russell Book by Harold McCracken, Charles M. Russell by Frederic G. Renner, The 100 Best Illustrated Letters of Charles M. Russell by Brian W. Dippie, Charles M. Russell Printed Rarities from private collections by Larry Len Peterson, Romance Maker The Watercolors of Charles M. Russell by Rick Stewart and the Massive 400 page Charles M. Russell - Sculptor also by Rick Stewart which was a 5 year project for Rick and is an Amazing in depth look at the artists sculptor work. In this episode Charlie is very much in charge of things in real life Charlie was very young during his days as a cowboy and was called Kid Russell. But true to life Russell is a night herder. Also true to life Charlie draws his artwork on everything. Straying from reality to create excitement the episode makes Charlie a fast gun, Charlie was never known to be a fast gunfighter. But this is a fun enjoyable TV western episode from the most magnificent age of TV Westerns.

Great show. Should have been picked up. We need shows like this today.
Loved watching this. The real Charlie Russell was quite an interesting character. Always loved watching Fess Parker in anything he acted in

Me too
So happy to see “forsaken west” again. Could have been a entertaining program.
Very nice story with a lot of charm. Wonderful verbal picture by Parker of the beauty of living outdoors
I loved this, It's been a long time since a "forsaken western" has popped up. Glad to see it, I love this series. This episode would've been a great tv series, in my opinion. Thanks for showing this.
I agree.
Wow. THAT Charles Russell! One of the greatest western artist/sculptors that ever lived!
Pity this is a one off i would have enjoyed this as a series, loved it as a pilot. Thanks for the privilege to see this
Fantastic bit of History thanks cowboy.🤠
I already gave it a like I guess a year ago' but I'll definitely give it another one by my word, I think it's the third time I've seen this one, every time at the end when they show his painting on the wall ,tell his story, I get goosebumps. There may be some about as good, but I don't think they make them much better. What a treasure.
Weird that no one picked up this episode to air the series those days!? It's really a good episode... 👍
I agree very well written and acted there was just a lot of completion for westerns back then it was probably just a numbers game
Can't believe how many times it was going to be maid and was always dropped even with the big stars
CMR is my favorite western artist. I lived in Great Falls Montana, growing up and went to his gallery and home dozens of times. I went back about 15 years ago, sad as now it is all commercial while they sell his art, it's turned into a bazaar type mindset. Try going to giant springs and stop where they built the dam. When Lewis and Clark went through the area, the sound of the great falls was heard miles away. It's about 50 miles to Glacier, but now need a reservation, stop on the other side of the Rockies-St. Ignatius church-some of the most beautiful mural art in any church. Open your eyes and maybe a mama mountain goat sheep with baby will visit with you. Anytime you go out in the wild take a private locator beacon.
Wow fantastic show,I've ran into a few historical westerns and really enjoyed this one👍👊
Your “Westerns on the Web Productions are always outstanding and appreciated. Thanks for the western art lesson in this Forsaken Westerns Episode. Love it!
Enjoyed that western very much, would’ve liked to of seen more of them. Thank you Bob Terry.
That was a ripper great history as well thank you so much from down under ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Damn!! I’d of watched this show. Thank you for putting it out to see
Loved this show, I just wished they had made more. You wonder sometimes how many of these good shows were passed up.
I think they missed the boat on this one. I believe they could make it today and folks would watch it. My dad would have loved this he was a huge western fan. I come by my love of westerns honestly.
Fess Parker was just Sensational 😅 Seen this episode B4 . Very good messages in this TV 📺 Flick
Thanks! Great episode.
Watched this one before ,this looks like it would of been a good show. I surely would of watched it . I was born 1951, this program would of came on about the time we got a TV.
Wish all the Foraken Westerns episodes were available on dvd and bluray.
Charlie Russell, the artist.
Wow, great 1st Western; too bad it wasn't a series. Fess Parker, supee great actor!!! Miss him!!!
I love discovering obscure abandoned pilots to potentially great shows💕
Thanks Bob. Never saw this before.
Thanks for posting another video , keep them coming
C M Russell was the best, in his younger days he was known as Kid Russell.
Wished that this was a series back in the day, would like to see it made today as a series or a movie but I don’t believe there is anyone who could do it justice, writers,directors or actors this day and age. I really like old westerns but this one got away.
That was a nice treat. Thank you
I do believe I remember seeing that pilot a couple of decades ago or so. Had similar feel to it as did the short lived radio series the Six Shooter with James Stewart.
This was a great story, IMHO anyway. I'd have been a dedicated fan of this series IF, it had taken off.
Russell and Remington, my two favorite artists.
Great show wish there were more episodes
It was, and this is absolutely true, it was the Television series Davy Crockett, King Of The Wild Frontier. I started checking books out of the library. I liked the books so much. I started buying books and collecting them, today I have over 350 books on Davy Crockett and the Alamo. I have the same about the French and Indian War. Yes, Fess Parker got me into history . Im very thankful for that.
I have a grow collection of real pirates of the Caribbean.
I think this sure could have been a great show. Especially with Fess Parker!!
I'm glad it's back.
Enjoyed this immensely. I kinda wish they'd made more!
would have been a big fan of this show
Bob T Pard' I
Recon if there's any comments out there from Fess Parker as to why it didn't go to the rodeo,
I do know one thing" I'm sure glad you do what you do' so well Bob 🐌'Thank you Pardner.
Oh shoot almost forgot to put my boots back on'🤠
Fess Parker really had a tv presence. There's no doubt about that!
I loved that introduction to the adverts.
This was WONDERFUL CANNOT believe networks didn't pick up..idiots ...Chas M RUSSELL..so interesting!!
Know that was a good movie. Different kind for Fess. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Bob...I never knew that OL' Fess had done this, I thot I'd seen everthing he done, and I'm 75, so I seen a bunch of it......take care.....OnWard......
Beverly Garland, always striking, always a strong female character, always watchable.
Her terrific but short lived TV series DECOY comes to mind. That was her best role. Only lasted one season.
Nice rack, too.
She got a lot of work! Damn good actress!
Great show.
That was a great show.
Too bad no one picked it up! A great story and Fess carried it off like every other part he took on.
Love the idea of a series based on real cowboy and real artist Charlie Russell. Parker's probably taller, but the temperament's credible. Garland was always good, as was Flippen. And Borden Chase was behind it all! Not a bad roster. Wish they'd costumed the cowboys more like Russell's accurate paintings, but TV back then wouldn't have been able to handle it. Check the outfits in Tombstone, Monte Walsh, Wild Bill for some instances. I'd like to see an episode where Russell and Remington have a fast draw showdown, know what I mean?
Wow! Fess Parker always my favorite.. I named my dalmatian Davy Crockett. 🥰
Love this, shame it wasn't picked up.
I am n love with Russell!❤ too bad they didn’t make a series of this! They were stupid!
Paul Carr has been a supporting player in many stage, film and TV roles
on television he has guested in many tv shows both westerns and non westerns
he's even had recurring roles on several daytime soap operas Days of Our Lives,
General Hospital (twice in two different stints as two different characters), Generations,
the Young and the Restless and Jay C. Flippen a veteran of many films and television shows
and in later years after losing a leg he still acted very regularly, Beverly Garland best known for
films, tv and My Three Sons and the Scarecrow & Mrs. King, other performers in the cast as
the stage robbers also regular supporting players in many films and television shows,
veterans like James Anderson, Joseph Ruskin, George D. Wallace, Frank Chase and Joseph Breen
usually as heavies/bad guys, others in the cast I recognize by face but not by name probably bit players
and extras who have been seen in the background of many films and television shows, would have been
a great series but only certain westerns were able to make it more than one or two seasons not all westerns
could be as successful as Gunsmoke, Bonanza, the Virginian, Wagon Train, the Rifleman, Daniel Boone and
others that lasted longer and well the westerns fell by the way side in the mid 70's and the westerns
became only occasional on tv at that time I the 70's and 80's and the westerns weren't the same
after that and sorry for rambling but I just turned 58 and my memories of the classic days of tv
are still alive as long as I can find them on UA-cam.
To bad this never made it passed 1 episode.
This would have been a great show.
Good show and information
In the 1950s and early 1960s it was popular to highly romanticize and fictionalize real men of the old west. Here in Montana Charlie Russell is well remembered for his art. We have the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls and the largest canvass Russell ever painted, "Lewis and Clark Meeting Indians at Ross’ Hole" (12 ft x 25 ft), hanging over the Speaker's platform in the Montana House of Representatives. Rumor has it that the dog or wolf in the foreground was strategically positioned there by Charlie to snarl at the Speaker, a man he purportedly did not like.
The famous "Last of 5,000 (Waiting for a Chinook)" postcard is also on display at the Montana Historical Society, in Helena.
The Prime-Time slots in those years were chock-a-block full of Westerns. This would have been only one among many.
You have to remember this was a low budget film made a long time ago. I think it still could become a series or a movie.my grandfather was pesonal friends with Cmr. And theres lots of stories. There is a great museum in great falls mt. Lots of art work and his original studio. First class and well worth the visit. You will need the best part of a day to get thru it. By the way i was born in 1951 and i remember the stories my grandpa told me
Enjoyed that! Thank you!
Thank you. I remember seeing this. Wondered why there were not any more?
U learn something new each day
Thanks ! ❗
Wow, good show. It would have been a great series!
FESS PARKER IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS EVER SEEN !!!!
BUMMER THAT THIS SHOW WASN'T PICKED UP !!!!!
Wish they put these back on Prime.
What a shame this wasn't picked up. Not for historical accuracy, but for Parker's aw shucks, humorous hero, and Garland's ready-for-anything romance.
I was almost on that Daniel Boone show with my pal Darby Hinton. But dad was in the Air Force and didn't want to resign and move to Hollywood. 😢
This is a good movie, can't get tired of watching it 👌
Never heard of the Man but you would think American History in School would Teach there Own Real History🇺🇸
I had to come back to this presentation (Western television shows FULL LENGTH EPISODES) to say that your closing commentary was the best that I've ever seen. FYI I'm 72... so some would say that I've seen a lot. Anyway: During the commentary you were wearing your gun as a right handed person would... but, but, but During your intro to "Russell" you wore the gun left handed. You are doing (in my opinion) a great job! Keep it up!!
Fess parker was my favorite!
I think this would have been a really great show!
Your videos are wonderful😊
Excellent.
You're back .... Yesss !!! 👍
I really liked this one too bad they didn't make it a series. Fess Parker was very good in this.
This would've made great series !
This series had promise, too bad no one picked it up.
Wow!! So sad this didn't continue
Good movie to short 💯💯
It would be ideal to pick this up now.
America could benefit seeing one of our real stand-outs at This point.
The kid does not realize he did nothing wrong; it is just that he have a conscious.
The thugs looked and asked for and found the fate they sought.
Sad but true.
Good movie
With the young hothead learning what it means to kill someone, this had some similar tropes and themes to Unforgiven, just four decades or so earlier.
Shows like this made me a feared of stampedes and quicksand, now I've been around cattle over 50 years I've never seen a stampede and never got caught in quicksand...
I actually found some "quicksand" in the desert outside El Paso, so I tossed a rock in it. It was about 4 inches deep ! Not a good place to hide the bodies, after all
Russell with the name alone I wouldn't pick this pilot either. I am now editing because after watching this great pilot I quite enjoyed it. Not only that but in one of my life experience I came across some painting that I love and and wished I was in the scene (I was a youngster then), and had no idea it was made by Russel. I think I had a copy of some bronze sculptor of a man on a horse that's broncing. Made also by him and again I didn't know. Now I'm in my 60s and the sculpture is gone.
Bev Garland was a sassy cutie pie - one of my ATF actresses.
Do not forsake me ohh my Western and leave me hanging ornn A Treeeee😎dats all y'all
I have a Russell water color. Parents got in Jackson hole...
This woulda been helluva show. Too bad they ain’t morel
Surprised it was never taken up , it might even have given Rawhide a run for its money.
Dozens of western series were around at that time, and this one is just a run of the mill stuff.
No different than many others
Love it like John Wayne Groove Machine 😅🤣😂😆
It's an outright crime that was the only episode!
Paul Carr was in a good episode of The Fugitive.
BEAUTIFUL BEVERLY GARLAND USED TO PLAY AN UNDERCOVER POLICE WOMAN ALONGSIDE GEORGE RAFT IN A SERIES FROM THE EARLY FIFTIES CALKED "DECOY".
Fess Parker also play Daniel Boone.
Saw this one.
yes cbs should relaunch this series. if i win the lotto i'll produce the show.
Daniel Boone married a cousin of mine, met her in BRYAN'S CAMP ON HENDERSON CREEK NORTH CAROLINA.
So Charlie has a photographic memory. How convenient.
