Tom
Fielding remembers when Pick made a brief one-time appearance on ABC-TV's
"The Rifleman" western-adventure
series
which starred Chuck Connors; "Pick announced
it in advance on his show, and held up stills of him with Connors."

Tim
Hollis, (author of "Hi
There, Boys and Girls! - America's Local Children's TV Programs.),
believes ABC had a promotion where local performers, like Pick, from network
affiliates
would
make a cameo appearance on "The Rifleman".
