The Virginian Trivia

As you can see in the cast list above, James Drury starred as "The Virginian". No other name was ever given for him!

The Virginian was the first of several 90 minute western TV series.

The Shiloh Ranch on the Virginian was owned first by Judge Garth, then by the Grainger brothers, and finally by Colonel MacKenzie. When the Colonel took over in the final season, the title was changed from "The Virginian" to "The Men from Shiloh". The time period of the series also moved forward a few years at that time.

The Virginian took place in the Wyoming Territory in the 1890s.

When The Virginian premiered in 1962, it opened NBC's Wednesday night lineup. CBS was airing the news but The Virginian did have some considerable competition from ABC who was broadcasting their hit western series, "Wagon Train".
