The Adventures of Spin and Marty was a popular series of TV shorts that aired as part of the Mickey Mouse Club in 1955. The series of 25 ten minute episodes set at the Triple R Ranch, a boys' summer camp, was followed by two sequels - The Further Adventures of Spin and Marty (which aired in 1957) and The New Adventures of Spin and Marty (airing in 1958), both also airing during the Mickey Mouse Club.
The series starred David Stollery as the rich, orphaned Marty (Martin) Markham and Tim Considine as the poorer Spin Evans, the most athletic and popular boy at the Triple R Ranch. Though starting off as enemies after Marty dismisses the dude ranch as a "dirty old farm", the two eventually become close friends.
A TV movie focussing on the eponymous characters, The New Adventures of Spin and Marty: Suspect Behavior, was made in 2000.
The Adventures of Spin and Marty received a DVD release in December 2005 as a part of the fifth wave of the Walt Disney Treasures Series.
