about its production and reception.
The Alaskans was created by Gene Levitt, who had previously worked on shows such as Maverick and 77 Sunset Strip. The series was produced by Warner Bros. Television and aired on the ABC network from October 1959 to March 1960, running for only one season and 37 episodes.
The show was unique in that it was filmed entirely on location in Skagway, Alaska, which provided an authentic setting for the show's action. The production was very challenging, however, with harsh weather conditions and difficulties in transporting equipment and crew to the remote location.
Despite its short run, The Alaskans was generally well-received by audiences and critics, who praised its high production values, strong performances, and unique setting. However, some viewers found the show's portrayal of the Klondike Gold Rush era to be too romanticized and unrealistic.
Today, The Alaskans is considered a cult classic among fans of western and adventure television shows, and it helped to establish Roger Moore as a leading actor in the industry.
