The High Chaparral was created by David Dortort.  It premiered on television on 10 September 1967, and for the duration of Season One, it ran in the coveted NBC Sunday evening timeslot of 10-11 PM, right on the heels of Bonanza.  For Season Two through Season Four, its timeslot was changed to Friday night from 7:30 - 8:30 on NBC.  Its last telecast was 12 March 1971.

In the charts below, the episode titles on the left are the ones which aired on the dates represented in the middle column.  The episode titles on the right are the order in which they were filmed.  You can see that they aired out of order in which they were filmed, which does make watching them somewhat confusing, as it does cause continuity glitches.  Still, The High Chaparral was one of the best television westerns ever made.
