Stoney Burke was a modern Western drama that aired on ABC during the 1962-63 TV season. Before he became Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-O, Jack Lord played the title character on a show that dealt with the adventures of a rodeo cowboy who desired to become the world's champion bronco rider. Warren Oates, Bruce Dern, and Robert Dowdell co-starred in this drama which aired to much critical acclaim but alas lasted only 32 episodes and one season.
