Sad to say, all the Posse got were 13 weeks to prove themselves in 1977. Part of the reason for that was because the show's producer, Hanna-Barbera, was being counter-programmed against itself across the then-Big 3 networks (ABC, CBS, NBC). CB Bears aired on NBC. CBS had The Skatebirds, and ABC, of course, had The All-New Super Friends Hour. Enough said right there. If the concept were to be revisited today, the Posse would be a hip-hop combo instead of cowboys.
Edit, 2/17/23: We've found a screencap of the villain, Tin Nose.

I rather prefer the original incarnation of the Posse.
At least we had additional supporting characters that got dropped when the series was launched. Honcho, Mystery Maverick and the step brothers were all missing.
The little guy with the John Wayne type voice was hilarious to me.
Considering the shorts were, in fact, just that, short, they didn't need as many characters. That may have been costly.
