Best of the West
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Best of the West was a sitcom airing on ABC from September 1981 through August 1982. The Old West spoof featured the misadventures of Sam Best, a Civil War veteran (played by Joel Higgins) who becomes a marshal in Copper Creek after accidentally scaring off an incompetent gunfighter called the Calico Kid.
Sam's family was made up of his Southern belle wife, Elvira (played by Carlene Watkins) and his smart-mouthed son, Daniel (Meeno Peluce). The cast also included Leonard Frey as the villain Parker Tillman, Tom Ewell as the drunken town doctor Jerome Kullens, and Tracey Walter as Tillman's clueless, but kind-hearted henchman, Frog Rothchild Jr.
