Buck James is an American medical drama television series created by Paul F. Edwards that aired on ABC from September 27, 1987, until May 5, 1988.

Premise

Buck James is a middle-aged[1] surgeon at a hospital in Texas who also has a passion for ranching.[2] James, a "hard-driving, daredevil, brilliant sort of fellow", is chief surgeon[1] at Holloman University Hospital[3] and head of one of its trauma units.[4] In addition to his challenges at work, at home he has a son "who is going through all the usual painful gyrations of growing up" and a two-month-pregnant daughter who has separated from her husband[4] and he had to deal with "a divorced wife who wouldn't let go."[1]

The title character was based on real-life physician Red Duke. Star Dennis Weaver shadowed Duke at work (including being present during surgeries that Duke performed) to prepare for playing James, and Duke was a consultant on scripts for the show.[5] Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, where Duke practiced, was the location for filming of the show's pilot.[6]

Buck James was broadcast from 10 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Sundays on ABC[7] from September 27, 1987, until January 10, 1988.[8] and from 10 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursdays[3] on ABC from March 10, 1988, until May 5, 1988.[8] It was produced by Entertainment Partners in association with Tri-Star Television.[9]
