The main cast of Boone.

Status: Partially Found

Boone was a short-lived drama series that aired on NBC from September 26th, 1983, until August 11th, 1984. Created by Earl Hamner (who created the long-running hit TV series The Waltons), each episode was an hour-long. While Boone initially achieved, it eventually found itself against other popular dramas and was canceled after thirteen episodes. No episodes have since emerged.

Plot

Set in post-war Nashville, Boone revolved around a teenage boy named Boone Sawyer (Tom Byrd) as he aims to be a rock star. Coming from a blue-collar family, they do not approve of Boone's ambitions. Each episode also had Boone singing a country and a rock song.

Syndication and Cancellation

Boone aired on NBC as apart of their Fall lineup of television shows on September 26th, 1983, and was initially a success. However, later on Boone found itself against other popular drama television shows such as Scarecrow and Mrs. King. As the show's ratings plummeted, ideas were thrown around by creator Eral Hammer to just interrogate the cast into The Waltons.[1] The cast's agents told the cast to distance themselves from Boone, killing off any chances of a second season or an integration into the The Waltons.

Availability

Due to the fall from grace, the show experienced during its syndication, no re-runs or home media of Boone have been released. The only piece of media from Boone to surf is the show's intro.

  • Tom Byrd as Boone Sawyer
  • Ronnie Claire Edwards as Aunt Dolly Sawyer
  • Greg Webb as Rome Hawley
  • Elizabeth Huddle as Faye Sawyer
  • Barry Corbin as Merit Sawyer
