Tales of the Vikings (1959)
Minor Correction
Jeff Hill is incorrect on 1 point; Jerome Courtland did not star in Brave Eagle or Northwest Passage; those roles were played by Keith Larsen. Larsen also starred in the show The Aquanauts for 1 season, until he was replaced by Glenn Corbett and the show was retitled Malibu Run.
As for Tales of the Vikings, I remember loving it as a kid! I especially loved the opening shot of the viking blowing the giant horn, until I found out it was stock footage from the Kirk Douglas Movie.
I remember one episode where the brothers wind up in Toledo (Spain, not Ohio)and there was a long digression about Toledo steel and about making rapiers. Even as a kid, I remember thinking that the vikings didn't belong in a Spain that looked like it was waiting for Columbus to return.
