Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy is a Canadian television drama series, which aired on CBC from 1998 to 2000.
[1] The series began with a 1998 television film pilot directed by Kari Skogland, starring Chad Willett in the title role as Hobson, Sarah Chalke as his love interest and later wife Gloria McIntosh and Ted Atherton as his friend and business partner Panhandle Phillips, as well as Zachary Bennett, Robin Brûlé and Ryan Gosling in supporting roles.
[2] It then premiered as a weekly series in February 1999, with Yannick Bisson replacing Willett as Hobson while Chalke and Atherton continued to play the same roles.
The second season initially saw a significant ratings dropoff from the first,[6] to which the CBC responded by scheduling one episode for a special airing in a prime family viewing spot on Sunday evening; the special airing doubled the ratings of the season's previous episodes and the show's ratings improved significantly in its regular time slot for the rest of the season.
[9] At the 14th Gemini Awards in 1999, Sarah Strange received a nomination for Guest Performance by an Actress in a Drama Series, for the episode "Wild Horses", and Lorraine Carson received a nomination for Best Costume Design.
