Season 2 (1956–57)

In "The Dark Rider," the first episode of season 2, Diane Brewster appears as Samantha Crawford, a character later featured in four episodes of Maverick starring James Garner and Jack Kelly between 1957 and 1959, another Warner Bros.Western series. "Samantha Crawford" was the maiden name of writer/producer Roy Huggins' mother. Huggins produced Cheyenne beginning with season 2 and Maverick for its first two (and most successful) seasons. "The Dark Rider" was filmed again as a Maverick episode starring Jack Kelly titled "Yellow River," but with a different cast (Warner Bros. frequently recycled scripts through their various series during this era, changing only the names and locales). At one point, Kelly's character (Bart Maverick) notes to the new leading lady that she reminds him of Samantha Crawford.
