The Rebel

After the end of the Civil War, a former Confederate Army private roams the Wild West, and, as a rogue drifter, gets involved in helping out various settlers threatened by various bad guys... THE REBEL is a 76-episode American western television series starring Nick Adams that debuted on the ABC network from 1959 to 1961. The Rebel was one of the few Goodson-Todman Productions outside of their game show ventures. Beginning in December 2011, The Rebel reruns began to air Saturday mornings on Me-TV.

Directed by Nick Adams, The Rebel leans on a strong ensemble — Nick Adams — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1959.
