Sam Peckinpah was the original writer for The Rifleman and even the popular Western Gunsmoke about three years before but it was turned down. He actually made an unbelievable change to his Gunsmoke script flipping the name John McCain to Lucas McCain plus an addition of his son. He could put some of the writers in the currents best tv shows to shame. Some more changes were coming its way as well.
