This editor has been watching the first seven episodes of Have Gun,Will Travel with Richard Boone. It ran from 1957 thru 1963,six sesons. All are on DVD and it also runs on Encore Westerns daily. Such up and coming stars as Jack Lord(Hawaii 5-0),Janice Rule,Charles Bronson(Death Wish),Claude Akins,Angie Dickinson(Police Woman) and Mike Connors(Mannix) appeared in various episodes in 1957. Gene Roddenberry even wrote over 20 episodes and he later had Star Trek. Paladin was actually a travelling "good deed doer". He wasn't a professional gunfighter but very handy with a gun. This editor is viewing Have Gun,Will Travel as well as early Gunsmoke,Wyatt Earp,Bat Masterson and others like Cheyenne. I missed all the 50's and early 60's TV series,I was a "pup" that watched Yogi Bear,Fred Flintstone and other animations.
The 50's was great TV!!
