About The Hero
The Hero ended on January 5, 1967. The show aired its final episode on that date, concluding its single season on NBC.
The Hero was a comedy and Western series that premiered on September 8, 1966. It starred Sam Garret, a man who played the hero in his own Western TV show, Jed Clayton - U.S. Marshal, but in real life was quite the opposite. The series depicted his humorous struggles with everyday life, contrasting his on-screen heroism with his true personality as a gentle, somewhat clumsy man who was afraid of horses and allergic to sagebrush.
The cast included Richard Mulligan as Sam Garret, Mariette Hartley as Ruth Garret, Victor French as Fred Gilman, and Marc London as Dewey. The show had a runtime of 45 minutes per episode and aired 16 episodes during its run.
