ABC-TV"The Dakotas," which had its premiere last week, is definitely not such a show. It is, of course, a one-hoWestern, and it is replacing Cheyenne," which had to pack ttp after eight years because its star? Clint Walker, decided it was time to leave. This information came as a particular shock to those viewers who never knew he llras there in the first place. In the new (new?) series, according to ABC, "a U.S. marshal and his three deputies patrol the Dakota Territory, challenging all those who would violate its laws and threaten its peace." The names of these four hardies are Larry Ward, Jack Elam. Chad (Chad?) Everett and Mike Greene. And except for Elam's homely kisser, the program is as unconscious of novelty as a do gooder on the warpath is of die: 's ur aity. It personal opinion thr Mickey Rooney could polish oi the whole quartet with a watc pistol. It is nothing less than painfu. is my to recite the gruesome details of the opening story, but we are pledged to fair and constructive criticsm. In brief, Elam, who portries to trays an avenge a friend's death, and kills an unarmed youth in a wild exchange of gun fire with a gang. Actually (it becomes more painful), the youth is a bad one, all right, but his gun is missing, which puts Elam on the spot. After the usual stuff angry townspeople, threatened hanging, trigger-happy young deputy it turns out the sheriff is the culprit who hid the key weapon because he was jealous of his old gunfight-in- g friend Elam.
