Synopsis
The series starred Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys, Trigger, his Golden Palomino and Dale Evans, Queen of the West, with Pat Brady, his comical sidekick bouncing about in his out of control jeep, Nellybelle, and Roy's Wonder Dog, Bullet. The show was filmed at the Samuel Goldwyn Studio. The closing theme song was called Happy Trails which was sung by Roy Rogers & Dale Evans over the end credits. Four years after its cancellation, CBS started airing repeat episodes of the series for 3½ seasons on Saturday mornings.
Like many of his films, though having a Western setting the series took place in contemporary times with then modern motorcars, fashions, telephones, and electric lighting appearing alongside horse riding cowboys/girls in western fashion.
