14 segments, including the pilot. Richard Donner was one of the directors. Sam Peckinpah wrote one episode, "The Town", about a cowardly community afraid to resist the clutches of an outlaw gang, but he did not direct any Trackdown episodes. Robert Culp wrote one episode titled "Back to Crawford", which featured his then-wife, Nancy Asch-Culp. This episode was directly related to the first regular-series episode, "The Marple Brothers", as Nancy portrayed a former childhood friend of Hoby's, Merrilee Quintana, with whom Hoby was once in love, who was out to kill his sister Norah as revenge for his killing her young husband in the line of duty, who was one of the evil Marple Brothers whom he encountered in episode one. His sister was played by actress Peggy Webber, reprising her role from the series pilot. She went on to guest-star in "Child Out of Time", an episode of Culp's series I Spy a few years later. In an interview, Robert Culp stated that Trackdown was conceived by its creators as "the Western Dragnet". The pilot of the series was written by John Robinson, who according to Culp in that same interview, was partly responsible for the creation of Dragnet. The series narrator was character actor Ed Prentiss.
