Greene seeks Griff as new Bonanza era ends
Lorne Greene talks about his move from Bonanza to Griff on ABC TV and the shift to a modern private eye wardrobe. He recalls four studios offered him roles, rejected several, and chose Universal for Griff, hoping the show becomes a philosophical dramatic series rather than a pure whodunit. The Eisenhower Museum in Abilene, Kansas is noted in the piece.
