It would then be up to straight-shooting Annie and her "silent suitor" Lofty Craig to rescue law-abiding neighbors and arrest outlaws.〔''The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows 1946 - Present''〕 Often Tagg would be told to stay in town and out of the way, but through disobedience, the need to relay important new information, or being captured by outlaws, he would end up in the middle of the adventure. Annie always wore the same fringed cowgirl outfit, of which 15 or more copies were made throughout the show's production.〔''Annie Oakley Hits the Bulls-Eye!'', in the Summer/Fall 1994 ''Trail Dust'' magazine〕 Her hairstyle was braided pigtails. Additional episodes were being considered, but Jimmy Hawkins had a growth spurt and outgrew the part of Annie's little brother.〔''Annie Oakley Hits the Bulls-Eye!''〕 ''Annie Oakley'' was among Gene Autry's Flying A Productions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annie Oakley (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
