''Boone'' is a dramatic television series which was broadcast on NBC from 1983 to 1984. It starred Tom Byrd and Barry Corbin. Byrd played teenager Boone Sawyer, who aspires to a career in rock and roll music, despite the advice of his stern father, Merit Sawyer, played by Corbin, who wants Boone to join him in the automobile repair business. The setting of the series is Tennessee in the early 1950s, when great changes began to occur in popular music, with the rise of Elvis Presley.〔(Thomas Byrd ) at the Internet Movie Database〕 Ten weekly episodes began airing on September 26, 1983, and three remaining segments were broadcast in the summer of 1984, the last on August 11. The series was created by Earl Hamner, Jr.〔(''Boone'' ) at the Internet Movie Database〕 Ronnie Claire Edwards, an Oklahoma City native who played Corabeth Godsey, the bossy wife of storekeeper Ike Godsey (Joe Conley) in ''The Waltons'', portrayed Aunt Dolly Sawyer in ''Boone''. William Edward Phipps played her husband Link Sawyer, the owner of Link's Orchid Lounge, where Boone and his friend, Rome Hawley (played by Greg Webb), sometimes performed.〔(Ronnie Claire Edwards ) at the Internet Movie Database〕 Other stars included Elizabeth Huddle as Boone's mother, Faye, who wanted Boone to commit to the ministry, as his older brother, Dwight, had done prior to Dwight's death in World War II. Julie Anne Haddock was cast as Amanda; Robyn Lively, Banjo; and Amanda Peterson, Boone's young sister, Squirt Sawyer.〔''The Complete Guide to Prime Time Network TV Shows, 1946-Present'', Ballantine Books, 1992, p. 112〕 Because ''Boone'' had such a large cast, there were few guest stars, seven of which were James Hampton, Chris Hebert, Marlyn Mason, Andrew Prine, Janine Turner, Gary Vinson, and the singer Bobby Vinton. A critic described ''Boone'' as "an excellent show that didn't get a chance" in the fierce competition of network television, though in retrospect, ''That's Incredible'' with John Davidson on ABC and ''Scarecrow and Mrs. King'' with Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson on CBS, may not have seemed such formidable rivals in the Monday 8 p.m. Eastern slot.〔 The series was replaced by ''TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes''. In 1987, reruns of ''Boone'' were shown late nights on The Disney Channel. ==References== 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「Boone (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
