Wild Bill Hickok 274 Episodes
Wild Bill Hickok was one of the most beloved Western adventure series of the golden age of radio, galloping onto the airwaves in 1951 and thrilling audiences with tales of frontier justice, courage, and friendship. Produced by Mutual and later syndicated by CBS, the show followed the daring exploits of the legendary U.S. Marshal James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok and his jovial sidekick, Jingles P. Jones, as they roamed the Old West battling outlaws, rustlers, and other threats to law and order.
Aimed at both children and families, the series offered clean, fast-paced entertainment full of action, humor, and moral lessons. Each half-hour adventure captured the spirit of the American frontier, emphasizing bravery, fairness, and loyalty. The sound of galloping hooves, crackling gunfire, and the whistle of the prairie wind made Wild Bill Hickok one of the most vivid Westerns ever broadcast on radio.
The Stars
The title role of Wild Bill Hickok was played by Guy Madison, a popular film actor whose calm confidence and heroic presence made him the perfect embodiment of the Western lawman. His faithful deputy and comic companion, Jingles, was portrayed by Andy Devine, whose raspy, high-pitched voice and lovable personality added warmth and humor to every episode. The chemistry between Madison and Devine became a signature element of the show, helping it transition successfully to television in 1951, where both actors reprised their roles.
