A Short-Lived American Adventure Drama that follows Wyatt Earp's descendants (Chad Everett, Maxine Stuart, Hoyt Axton, Mimi Rogers, Jim Varney, and Timothy Gibbs) working as bounty hunters.

The show also features Bruce Tuthill and Richard Molinare.

It aired on NBC for one season.


Tropes for the series:

  • Alliterative Name: Evan Earp.
  • Bounty Hunter: The family is a group of bounty hunters descended from legendary lawman Wyatt Earp.
  • Character Title: Wyatt Earp to the Rescue.
  • Historical Character's Fictional Relative: The show follows Wyatt Earp III, a rouster for a carnival. He's a grandson of Wyatt Earp the First and not too pleased about it.
  • Tagline: "The Rousters are gonna sink the Love Boat!".
  • Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?: The family is a group of bounty hunters descended from legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. The lead character is Wyatt Earp III, a fact that is a running gag throughout the series, with most authorities treating it as a bad joke until he produces his legal identification. The rest of his family have more common and less significant names.
