Spin and Marty started as an 11-minute segment on the Mickey Mouse Club in 1955. It proved so popular that it ran for three seasons and spawned two remakes, a movie, and many comic books.
Tim Considine was Spin Evans, a poor but popular kid who spent his summer at the Triple R Ranch. David Stollery was Marty Markham, a spoiled and over-protected rich orphan from the city.
These unlikely ranch mates eventually became best friends and helped solve all kinds of situations on the ranch. Annette Funicello joined the cast from the second season, which was broadcast as The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty.
The 1958 – 1959 season was broadcast as The New Adventures of Spin and Marty.
