Description: A light-hearted western adventure series set in the closing decades of the 19th century, an age in which the inventive spirit and imagination of America changed in the world forever. Richard Dean Anderson stars as Ernest Pratt, an ink-stained wretch of a dime novelist who, with the aid of an eccentric European scientist, reluctantly assumes the roles of his fictitious literary hero, Nicodemus Legend. Alternate synop: Ernest Pratt, a dime-store novelist in the old west, lives with his scientist friend Professor Janos Bartok in the small town of Sheridan, Colorado. The people of Sheridan mistakenly believe that Pratt--a drinker, gambler, and womanizer--is the audacious and pure hero of his novels, Nicodemus Legend. Bartok and his associate, Ramos, convince Pratt to assume the Legend persona while supplying him with Legend-like futuristic gadgets that they invent. Together, Bartok and the reluctant Pratt (as Legend), adventure throughout the west solving mysteries, capturing wrong-doers, and even making scientific discoveries ================= Company credits Production Companies * Gekko Film Corp. * Paramount Television * T.L.
