Prior to the beginning of production, Russell, Brown, and producer Jules Schermer made a pact to maintain the quality of the series so that it would not be seen as "just another Western".

At the start of season two, Russell and Brown were joined by Peggie Castle as Lily Merrill, the owner of the Birdcage Saloon, and a love interest for Dan.

Lacey promises Dan that his two brothers Flynn (Jack Elam) and Walt (Lee Van Cleef) will come after him.

Johnny tells Dan that Flynn is the one who killed Marshal Lemp; the whole town saw him do it but were too afraid to stand up to him.

Dan motions for Johnny to follow him back into the office, and then takes down the "Deputy Wanted" sign.

It was revealed that the woman Dan loved and wanted to marry, before her death, had instead wed Clay, a gunfighter and an outlaw.

Johnny was more easy going, but he was also brave, extremely fast with a gun, and loyal to Dan, whom he always referred to as "Mr.

In the later years, Johnny got more involved in the action as Dan began to see him more as a partner in the fight against crime than as his humble apprentice.

Lily was formerly married to outlaw Frank Quinlaven, played by Mike Road in the season two episode, "The Exchange."

Frank tried to use Tommy as a bargaining chip to get Lily to help him rob the Laramie bank, but Dan stopped him at the last minute.

Lily is beautiful, feisty, courageous, extremely loyal, and occasionally even uses a gun herself to help Dan and Johnny when no one else will.

In addition to running her saloon, Lily was also elected the town fire chief, and briefly filled in as schoolmarm.

In the series' next-to-last episode, entitled "The Unmasked" (June 17, 1962), Lawman presents an entirely fictitious portrayal of Boston Corbett, the man who shot and mortally wounded John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Played by character actor Dabbs Greer, Corbett is given the name "Joe Brockway" and depicted as a hotel owner in Laramie.

In the story line, two former Confederates from Georgia, played by Barry Atwater and Charles Maxwell, arrive in Laramie in search of Brockway, the key, they claim, to the settlement of an estate to which they are all a party.

Jack Albertson is cast in the episode as a somewhat comical traveling elixir salesman named "Doc" Peters.

The studio routinely recycled scripts through their various series to save money on writers, frequently crediting the results to "W. Hermanos" (Spanish for W. Brothers).

Two Lawman scripts, "The Payment" and "The Judge" were renamed from episodes of Cheyenne and reduced from sixty to thirty minutes.

Lawman also spawned a variety of merchandise during the run of the series, including lunchboxes, puzzles, boots, arcade cards, sheet music, action figures, toy rifles, and cap pistols.
