Nichols
Overview
Nichols is an American Western television series starring James Garner broadcast in the United States on NBC during the 1971-72 season. Set the fictional town of Nichols, Arizona, in 1914, Nichols differed from traditional Western series of the era. The main character, a sheriff, rode on a motorcycle and in an automobile rather than on the traditional horse. The hero did not carry a firearm and was generally opposed to the use of violence to solve problems, preferring other means. Margot Kidder portrayed Ruth, the love interest/barmaid of Nichols.
This production, originally released in 1971, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Western genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 5.0 across its 1 season.
