Synopsis
Duggan stars as the less than admirable Murdoch Lancer, the patriarch of the Lancer family. Stacy appears as half-Mexican gunslinger Johnny Madrid Lancer. Wayne Maunder was cast as Scott Lancer, the educated older son (though he is younger than Stacy) and a veteran of the Union Army, in contrast to Stacy's role of former gunslinger. Paul Brinegar also appeared as Jelly Hoskins, a series regular from season two after making a one off guest appearance during the first season. Elizabeth Baur (who later replaced Babara Anderson in Ironside from season five to eight) also was a series regular cast member as Murdoch Lancer's ward Teresa O'Brien.
Guest stars included Joe Don Baker, Scott Brady, Ellen Corby, Jack Elam, Sam Elliott, Bruce Dern, Kevin Hagen, Ron Howard, Wright King, Cloris Leachman, George Macready, Warren Oates, Stefanie Powers, Tom Selleck, and William Tannen.
Lancer lasted for 51 hour-long episodes shot in color. The program was rerun on CBS during the summer of 1971.
