The Monroes (1966) Information

The Monroes is a 26-segment Western television series which originally aired on ABC during the 1966-1967 season. The series centers around the story of five orphans trying to survive as a family on the frontier in the area around, what is now, Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming.

Production

The series was produced by Qualis in association with 20th Century Fox Television. Filming took place on location in Jackson Hole, Wyoming as well as Century City, California.

Reception

The Monroes premiered at 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday, September 7, 1966. Though it benefited from the lead-in of ABC's popular Batman series, The Monroes faced stiff competition against the last hour of NBC's The Virginian and CBS's second half of Lost in Space and The Beverly Hillbillies. The series was unable to develop sufficient audience to remain on the air, and its concluding episode aired on March 15, 1967. Although not a ratings success, Michael Anderson, Jr. and Barbara Hershey both won American Heritage Awards for their work on the series.
