Redigo Trivia

The Redigo TV show was a "spin-off series" of another show titled, "Empire".

On "Empire" Jim Redigo had been the manager of a huge ranch. On the Redigo TV show, he was the owner of his own small ranch nearby the one he had managed.

Jim Redigo's love interest was Gerry who managed the Gran Quivera Hotel in "Mesa", a town near Jim's ranch. Gerry was obviously much more interested in Jim than he was in her, similar to the relationship between Matt Dillon and Kitty Russell on the series, "Gunsmoke".

Frank Martinez was one of the ranch hands (as was Mike) and Linda Martinez was Frank's wife who also served as the ranch's cook.

The Redigo TV show's time slot at 8:30PM on Tuesday nights pretty much condemned it to oblivion. That put it in competition with ABC's hit comedy series, "McHale's Navy" and the last half-hour of the "Red Skelton Show"!
