My Friend Flicka is a western television series about a boy and his horse Flicka – a Swedish name meaning "little girl." The series is based on the novels by Mary O'Hara and the 1943 film My Friend Flicka. Though filmed in color, it was originally shown on CBS in black-and-white from February 10, 1956 until August 1957. Only one season of the popular series was filmed, but it was broadcast in syndicated reruns for many years, starting in September 1957 on NBC.
