SERIES SUMMARY

Set during the nineteenth century, Riverboat follows Captain Grey Holden, owner of the riverboat Enterprise, as he navigates the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers carrying passengers and cargo through America's frontier. Along the way, Holden and his crew encounter outlaws, river pirates, con artists, Native American conflicts, frontier settlements, epidemics, political intrigue, and daring rescues. The series combines exciting western action with historical adventure, featuring outstanding performances from Darren McGavin and a young Burt Reynolds during the first season, later joined by Noah Beery Jr. One of NBC's finest western adventures, Riverboat remains a favorite among classic television fans.
