- TriviaJohn Russell was only forty-seven and looked even younger than that, when he was cast in this series. He believed that in order for a man like Dan Troop to have gained the kind of experience and maturity he possessed, he would have had to have been in at least his mid fifty, so Russell had the Make-up Department streak gray through his hair, and he lowered his voice when he spoke, in order to appear several years older.
- GoofsFrequent references to Fort Laramie indicate the fort is close to the town of Laramie. Actually, Fort Laramie is over 100 miles from Laramie.
- ConnectionsFeatured in TV's Western Heroes (1993)

ANOTHER "LOST" GEM FROM TV'S PAST!
It's inconceivable to me how Warner Bros. can continue to ignore the potential of remarketing this "gem" of a series on video! The casting of this show was impeccable as was the constant tight direction and consistantly strong storylines throughout the sad short run of this series.Lawman had more of a movie atmosphere about it thanks to Warner Bros. detail to props, sets (etc.) and a fair budget which didn't always go into the stars pockets as evidenced by the several western stars that galloped off their respective W.B. shows in the late fifties. John Russell opted not to follow suit.Lawman did not employ "comic relief" that helped make Maverick so intensely popular,W.B. opted instead to inject a "love intrest" for Dan Troop to help ease his tense character in the name of "Lily" after the '58 season.The few "bootleg copies around today only serve to increase the ache and yearning for Warner Bros. to reach into their vaults and allow us to enjoy "real TV" the way it was meant to be enjoyed!
