''Barbary Coast'' is an American television series that aired on ABC. The pilot movie first aired on May 4, 1975 and the series itself premiered September 8, 1975; the last episode aired January 9, 1976. ''Barbary Coast'' was inspired by a similar 19th-century spy series, ''The Wild Wild West'', and like the earlier program, ''Barbary Coast'' mixed the genres of Western and secret agent drama. ==Synopsis== ''Barbary Coast'' features the adventures of 19th century government agent Jeff Cable (played by William Shatner), and his pal, conman and gambler Cash (''"Cash makes no enemies"'') Conover (Doug McClure; played by Dennis Cole in the pilot). This was Shatner's first attempt at a live-action series since ''Star Trek'' (also produced by Paramount Television). In their battle against various criminals and foreign spies, Cable and Conover operated out of the latter's saloon and casino located on San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast. Like ''Wild Wild West's'' Artemus Gordon, Cable frequently donned disguises in the course of his investigations. The producers modeled the show's Byzantine plotlines/conspiracies on the ''Mission: Impossible'' paradigm (in fact, they hired a number of ''Mission: Impossible's'' writers). Other regulars on the series included recurring ''Wild Wild West'' villain actor Richard Kiel as Moose Moran and Dave Turner as Thumbs. 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「Barbary Coast (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
