Empire is an hour-long Western television series set on a 1960s 500,000-acre (2,000 km2) ranch in New Mexico, starring Richard Egan, Terry Moore, Ryan O'Neal and Charles Bronson.[1] It ran on NBC from September 25, 1962, to May 14, 1963.[1] After the initial series of one-hour shows, the series was retitled as Redigo and truncated to half hour episodes, again starring Egan as Redigo. That version only ran for a partial season.
