Which I would think would free him from the tailor business, but Frank says: "Not entirely." He explained: "Jim's agent, Meta Rosenberg, executive producer of the series, sold NBC a Jim Garner series. Which means the Maverick Garner, the 'Support-Your-Local-Sheriff Garner. A comedic attack on the material to fit Garner's enormous gifts. "Which means that even though I started from scratch, everything had to be tailored to fit Garner." Frank said'he was approached to devise a Garner series at about the time he was winding up "The Neon Ceiling." Show Set in Southwest "Two things made it attractive. First, the movie business was so totally shot that I knew directors, good ones, who were going two and three years between pictures, and I believe you have to function, you have to work at it." "Second, I'd long wanted to do a show set in the Southwest at the time of the dying off of the frontier, the period just before WW1 around 1914-1915.

"It was an attractive period. The American Dream was in full bloom. The age of technocracy with Ford's Flivver had arrived. It was a time of optimism and innocence. There was some frontier left, but not much some roving bands of Apaches, a few aging gunfighters.

It seemed to me a natural setting for Jim Garner. "As Nichols, he's a career soldier in the cavalry, living the easy barracks life of the peacetime army, occasionally chasing Pancho Villa for action, pleased with both the routine and the romance of horse soldiering. "The day Nichols sees the first water-cooled machine gun mounted on a flatcar, he knows it's all over. It's the end of the romance of soldiering and the end of the cavalry. And the end of the age of innocence.

He goes home." Home is Nichols, a town named after his grandfather. Through a series of comedic happenings, Garner as Nichols becomes its reluctant sheriff as the town with equal reluctance moves from the frontier into the modern era. This period of the West in the first decades of this century seems to be spawning a rash of action series, ranging from Alias Smith and Jones to Powerkeg, now called The Big Wheels. Pierson says it's the natural evolution of the business "Nobody wants another old-fashioned western." An Old Newspaperman He said that he tried to sell networks on the idea of probing the period on several earlier occasions with no takers and that the success of "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" opened the TV door. Frank last produced a contemporary TV western called Empire.

When I first met Frank, he was producing Have Gun, Will Travel, which was supposed to be more comic than It was played. He's an old newspaperman himself. After seven years in the Time-Life bureau here he quit to write films, starving with his wife for a couple of years in Malibu before Sam Rolfe took him under his wing on Have Gun. While Frank admits "The Neon Ceiling" would never have been made in the Have Gun days, things are little changed with the series form, he says: "Networks are as wishy-washy as ever, confining everything into the narrowest possible limits, terrified that a breath of life will get into a show But then Frank said he'd do Nichols as long as it was fun. So far it has been but he'3 only on the first show.
