Moore's next television series involved playing the lead as "Silky" Harris for the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]/Warner Bros. 1959–60 [[Western (genre)|Western]] ''[[The Alaskans]]'', with co-stars [[Dorothy Provine]] as Rocky, [[Jeff York]] as Reno, and [[Ray Danton]] as Nifty. The show ran for a single season of 37 hour-long episodes on Sunday nights. Though set in [[Skagway, Alaska]], with a focus on the [[Klondike Gold Rush]] around 1896, the series was filmed in the hot studio lot at Warner Bros. in Hollywood with the cast costumed in fur coats and hats. Moore found the work highly taxing, and his off-camera affair with Provine complicated matters even more. Moore later referred to the experience as his "most appalling television series."

He subsequently appeared as the questionable character "14 Karat John" in the two-part episode "Right Off the Boat" of the ABC/WB [[crime drama]] ''[[The Roaring 20s (TV series)|The Roaring 20s]]''—alongside [[Rex Reason]], [[John Dehner]], [[Gary Vinson]], and Dorothy Provine—appearing in a similar role but with a different character name.
