Texas Wheelers, The (ABC 1974-1975, Jack Elam, Gary Busey)
The Texas Wheelers was an earthy comedy about the four motherless Wheeler children and their no-account, cantankerous, “but lovable” father Zack. With Zack spending most of his time thinking of ways to avoid work, eldest son Truckle, 24, led the clan, which consisted of Doobie (16), Boo (12), and T.J. (10).
Their adventures living in rural Texas, without much money but with a lot of spirit, provided the stories for this short-lived series.
