Conflict (American TV Series)
''Conflict'' is a 1956 to 1957 American ABC television series that was a successor to the earlier ''Warner Bros. Presents''. Although ''Conflict'' assumed the same time slot as its predecessor, the two do not share the same format. Where ''Warner Bros. Presents'' had been a wheel series,''Warner Bros. Presents'' and ''Conflict'' at The Classic TV Archive (site currently blacklisted by Wikipedia's spam filters) ''Conflict'' was fully an anthological series. However, since ''Cheyenne'' and ''Conflict'' alternated the Tuesday 7:30 P.M. time slot, the net effect was that of a proper wheel series—even though ''Cheyenne'' and ''Conflict'' were not under the same umbrella title. The name change was imposed upon its production company, Warner Bros., by ABC executives who believed that "conflict" was the missing element in '' Casablanca'' and '' Kings Row'' from ''Warner Bros. Presents''. Man from 1997 Actor James Garner caught producer Roy Huggins' attention with a comedic per ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Black-and-white American Television Shows
Black-and-white (B&W or B/W) images combine black and white in a continuous spectrum, producing a range of shades of grey. Media The history of various visual media began with black and white, and as technology improved, altered to color. However, there are exceptions to this rule, including black-and-white fine art photography, as well as many film motion pictures and art film(s). Photography Contemporary use Since the late 1960s, few mainstream films have been shot in black-and-white. The reasons are frequently commercial, as it is difficult to sell a film for television broadcasting if the film is not in color. 1961 was the last year in which the majority of Hollywood films were released in black and white.

In each of these episodes, Brewster is joined in the fight against The Canary Kid's plans by Christopher Colt—i.e., Wayde Preston crossing over from his role in the simultaneously-produced WB series '' Colt .45''.
