Spin and Marty

The serialized Disney television adaptation of the novel starred David Stollery as the rich, orphaned Martin "Marty" Markham and Tim Considine as the poorer Spin Evans, the most athletic and popular boy at the Triple R Ranch.[2] Budgeted at $600,000 (equivalent to more than $5 million in 2024), filming for the inaugural season's episodes began at the Golden Oak Ranch in June 1955 and wrapped in September, while the juvenile cast members were on summer vacation from school.A TV movie focusing on updated versions of the eponymous characters, The New Adventures of Spin and Marty: Suspect Behavior, was made in 2000 for The Wonderful World of Disney, with David Gallagher and Jeremy Foley in the title roles.Hosted by Leonard Maltin, it includes the complete first season of 25 episodes, plus bonus features such as interviews with David Stollery, Tim Considine, and Harry Carey Jr., on the 50th anniversary year of the series' original telecasts.[7] The comic books continued even after the television series had ended, such as issue number 7 in September 1958 (pictured): Stollery and Considine, by then 17-year-olds, are depicted on the cover in their Spin and Marty characters, as they confront danger at the Triple-R Ranch.
