Riverboat (TV series)

Media , TV Westerns 1940's-1990's

March 02, 2014

By: Lawrence Walker

John Mitchum in: Riverboat

Scenes with John Mitchum and Mike McGreevey from the 1959 television series “Riverboat.”

Riverboat  is a 44-episode  western   television series  starring  Darren McGavin  and  Burt Reynolds  broadcast on the  NBC   television network  from September 13, 1959 until January 2, 1961. It was produced by  Revue Studios .

Riverboat  depicts the exploits of McGavin’s fictitious character, Captain Grey Holden, and his crew as they navigate the vessel called the  Enterprise  principally along the  Mississippi ,  Missouri , and  Ohio  rivers. Episodes are set in the eastern end of the  American West  or in the  Midwest . Holden and his men encounter interesting characters along the way, including  U.S. President   Zachary Taylor ,  General   Winfield Scott , and a pre-presidential  Abraham Lincoln . One episodes focuses indirectly on the  Texan Revolution  of 1836. Unlike most westerns, which are set after the  American Civil War , the time frame of  Riverboat  precedes the sectional conflict, the 1830’s and the 1840’s. Riverboat  was succeeded on the NBC mid-season schedule in January 1961 by a drama about the sectional conflict,  The Americans .

Dick Wessel , as chief stoker Carney Kohler, was cast in forty-one episodes.  Jack Lambert  was cast in twenty-three episodes as first mate Joshua MacGregor (having played a different character, Tony Walchek, earlier in the series).  John Mitchum , brother of  Robert Mitchum , co-starred in ten episodes as Pickalong, the ship’s cook.

Riverboat is an American Western television series starring Darren McGavin and Burt Reynolds , produced by Revue Studios , and broadcast on the NBC television network from 1959 to 1961.

Season 1: 1959–60

Season 2: 1960–61, guest stars, female guest stars, male guest stars, further reading, external links.

In the series, Captain Grey Holden and his crew navigate the vessel called the Enterprise principally along the Mississippi , Missouri , and Ohio Rivers . Some episodes are set in the eastern end of the American West or in the Midwest . Holden and his men encounter interesting characters along the way, including U.S. President Zachary Taylor , General Winfield Scott and a prepresidential Abraham Lincoln . One episode focuses indirectly on the Texan Revolution of 1836. Unlike most Westerns, which are set after the American Civil War , the story's time frame precedes the conflict, and includes the 1830s and the 1840s. The series ended on the NBC midseason schedule in January 1961, replaced by a drama about the sectional conflict, The Americans .

Darren McGavin played Captain Grey Holden for 40 episodes. Dan Duryea played Captain Brad Turner for two episodes while McGavin was embroiled in contract disputes.

On May 15, 2012, Timeless Media Group released Riverboat- The Complete Series on DVD in Region 1. [5]

The New York Times called the pilot "labored and dull". [6]

The premiere episode rated 11.9 against Maverick ' s 22.9 and a rerun of That's My Boy with 7.5. [8]

In January 1960, the series was shifted from Sunday nights to Monday.
