Dusty's Trail aired during the 1973-1974 season in syndication.
Bob Denver starred in this slapstick comedy, which was rather reminiscent of his earlier hit Gilligan's Island-only set in the west. In fact it was an almost exact copy, character for character. Bumbling their way across the praire in a wagon train were Dusty( Gilligan played by Bob Denver), Wagonmaster Callahan ( The Skipper, Forrest Tucker), the rich socialites, The Brookhavens ( The Thurston Howells, Ivor Frances, Lynn Wood), two sexy girls, sassy Lulu ( Ginger, Jeannine Riley), and sweet young Betsy ( Mary Ann, Lori Saunders), and the nice young man, Andy ( The Professor, Bill Cort). The simpleminded knockabout humor was also the same. Despite saturation coverage when it premiered, Dusty's Trail was a derivative flop.
Produced by Sherwood Schwartz, the man responsible for Denver's previous venture, Gilligan's Island.
Theme Song Lyrics
Let's follow the path of Dusty's Trail,
Oh! Dusty's Trail, Dusty's Trail.
A stage and a wagon heading west.
Part of a wagontrain lost from the rest.
Dusty's the reason for their plight.
Thanks to Dusty, nothing's right.
Only the wagonmaster's hand
Keeps 'em a-rollin' to the promised land.
Oh! The going gets mighty rough
But they don't seem to mind.
It's Californ-i-a, that's the place they must find.
Deserts and rocks are in their way
But they wont stop, come what may.
Mountains and hills that they must scale.
They know they'll make it 'cause they just can't fail.
On Dusty's Trail.
