The Young Riders | comment |
The Young Riders was a Western TV series that ran on ABC 1989-1992. It focused on a group of Pony Express Riders under the care of a quirky former Texas Ranger called Teaspoon Hunter. The show played some liberties with history, and the Western legends to-be Wild Bill Hickok (Jimmy), Buffalo Bill (Cody), and Jesse James were all among the main characters. During the show, hothead Jimmy Hickok became increasingly troubled by his reputation, while class clown Cody could be seen starting his showbiz career in tiny steps by acting in a theater production and writing stories about his rider friends. Jesse James joined the group in season 3 as a young boy.The other riders were Kid (unrelated to "Billy The..."), who came from a small farm in Virginia, disguised girl Lou, Indian half-breed Buck, his mute best friend Ike, and by the second season Noah, claimed to be first black regular on a Western TV show (The Outcasts co-starred a black man 1968-1969 season on ABC; you could even make a case for Silas on The Big Valley). The station house was cared for by housekeeper Emma Shannon in the first season and Rachel Dunne in the second and third. US Marshal Sam Cain also featured in the first season.The characters spent more time fighting bad guys than delivering mail, a course of action facilitated in the second season when Sam left the show and Teaspoon took over his job as marshal, deputizing the riders whenever he needed to.Now available on Hulu & the terrestrial channel Get TV. | |

Long-Lost Relative: Considering the riders are all orphans, Emma was once married, and Teaspoon has had his, er, dalliances, one of these will crawl out of the woodwork from time to time. Don't expect these characters to last long. | |

Been There, Shaped History: Teaspoon's back story is that he survived the Alamonote While the legends are that there were no survivors among the defenders, in Real Life several men had been sent as couriers to call for aid and were not present when the Mexican army launched their final assault. and had served as one of the first Texas Rangers. | |

Sweet Polly Oliver: Lou cut her hair, dressed in men's clothing and adopted the name "Lou" in place of "Louise" so she could get a job on the Pony Express and save up enough money to buy a house for herself and her two siblings. The boys find out pretty early on, and Emma figures it out on her own sometime later. Teaspoon finds out eventually. | |
