Judge Roy Bean (TV Series 1956)

Judge Roy Bean is a syndicated American Western series starring Edgar Buchanan as the legendary Kentucky-born Judge Roy Bean, a justice of the peace known as "The Law West of the Pecos".

The 39-episode program shot in color, which aired new episodes in 1956, is set in Langtry in Val Verde County in southwest Texas, where Bean held court in his combination general store and saloon. The 2000 census population of Langtry was fewer than 150 persons, but the unincorporated community is the site of one of the twelve Texas State Tourist Bureau welcoming centers.

Jack Buetel, appears in the series as 41-year-old Jeff Taggart, Bean's right-hand man. Jackie Loughery portrays Letty Bean, the judge's 26-year-old niece, and Russell Hayden stars as Steve, a Texas Ranger. Bean was earlier the focus of the 1940 Walter Brennan western, The Westerner, and in 1972 the Paul Newman film, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean.
