The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters (1963)
Overview
The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters is an American western television series based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Robert Lewis Taylor. The show aired on ABC in the 1963-1964 television season and was produced by MGM Television. The series introduces Dan O'Herlihy as a charming Scotsman of the frontier, Dr. Sardius McPheeters. As with many such charmers, Doc is missing something commonsense-wise. Fortunately his 12-year-old son, Jaimie (Kurt Russell), makes up for it by being as sharp as Daddy is gullible. The production is slick, authentic and brisk.

Secondary
The show, typical of its genre and era, portrays Christian faith and its adherents as a source of moral guidance, community cohesion, and comfort amidst the challenges of the American frontier. While individual characters may exhibit flaws or hypocrisy, the narrative generally affirms the positive role of religion in the lives of the pioneers and the overall community.
