1950's, airing for 3 years. Directed by Stacey Keach, Sr., TALES

Don't mistake this series for a Western. It's a modern (1950's)
police drama featuring the oldest and most respected law enforcement
body in North America. "Tales" related true cases from the police
files and is sometimes considered a forerunner of today's TV series
starring Chuck Norris.

of this series.
In 1955, TALES OF THE TEXAS RANGERS made the transition to television.
Stacy Keach Sr. is credited as one of the directors. Willard Parker 
played the part of Jace Pearson. The series aired through 1959,
consisting of 52 30-minute episodes.
