THE ROUNDERS - 1966 - WESTERN COMEDY CLASSIC
The Rounders is a 17-episode western-style situation comedy about two cowboys on the fictitious
J.L. Ranch in Texas, starring Ron Hayes (1929-2005), as Ben Jones and Patrick Wayne (born 1939), a
son of John Wayne, as Howdy Lewis. The M-G-M television series aired on ABC from September 6,
1966, to January 3, 1967. The program was loosely based on a 1965 film of the same name, The
Rounders, starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda, set near Sedona, Arizona, rather than Texas.
Chill Wills (1903-1978), a native Texan and formerly of CBS's Frontier Circus, appeared as the shady
ranch owner, Jim Ed Love. Janis Hansen (born 1940) co-starred as Ben's girlfriend, Sally, and Bobbi
Jordan played Howdy's girlfriend Ada. Jason Wingreen (born 1919) appeared as Shorty Dawes;
James Bowen Brown (1920-1992) as Luke, and Walker Edmiston (1926-2007) as Regan. Character
actors Strother Martin (1919-1980) and J. Pat O'Malley (1904-1985) appeared as "Cousin Fletch" and
"Vince", respectively. James Brown, formerly the lieutenant on The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, played
"Luke". 15 EPISODES 3 DISCS
