The new Dalton was a flashback-prone Vietnam vet who drifted across the country in a camper van with his German Shepherd, Wichita, helping people with his unique fighting skills. Based on great Sunday night movie numbers, they ordered a 6-ep series. Production problems had them stop filming after 4.
They decided to re-edit these as two TV movies, πΎπ€ππ π€π πππ£ππππ£ππ ππ and πππ. When πΎππππ got disappointing ratings, πΎπππππ was scrapped. THEN in a last-ditch attempt to salvage something out of the production, the four completed eps were used as a cheap summer series in 1986. Wow!!
