"Sugarfoot" was one of the earliest products of the alliance between ABC and the fledgling Warner Bros. Television Department, chaired by William T. Orr. During the same period, other similar programs appeared, including "Maverick", "Cheyenne", "Bronco", "Lawman", and "Colt .45". Hutchins appeared as Sugarfoot in crossover episodes of "Cheyenne" and "Maverick", and in an installment of "Bronco" called "The Yankee Tornado" with Peter Breck as a young Theodore Roosevelt. Jack Kelly appeared as Bart Maverick in the "Sugarfoot" episode "A Price on His Head".
