Yancy Derringer (1958–1959)
9/10
Yancey Derringer-looking for you!
8 September 2006
From what I remember of the monochrome series, Yancey and his partner were the original "Miami Vice"-coolness embodied. Similar partnerships were seen in TV, such as Robert Urich and his partner "Hawk" as the PI. There was also Wild, Wild West, with Robert Conrad and his partner...but Yancey was just plain smooth..I have known about Jock Mahoney's history as a stunt man, from his days as an actor with the Three Stooges as the handsome, (albeit clumsy)guitar playing cowboy to Range Rider, to Yancey, to Tarzan, and beyond, but what about X Brand, his faithful Native American partner? Who was the actor, and was "X Brand" a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 50's commercials that compared their products to "Brand X"? Does anyone know his biog? I would hope that TVLand or some other enterprise would give us all a chance to enjoy Yancey and Pahoo again...
