"This Guy"?

If by "this guy" you're referring to the OLD TV show, "Have Gun, Will Travel", (and starring Richard Boone as the gunslinger "Paladin")..........I remember him quite well, having watched the show hundreds of times over the whole time it was on TV. (Just don't ask me how long ago it was "on" )

 

[bikerdoc]

Face it guys if you remember it your old. lots of great guns and rifles in those old westerns.

 

[Zeeemu]

All HGWT episodes are posted on youtube. Now follow the bouncing ball and all sing along with me.

Hey, I am 25 and watching Paladin was a family past time for us back when TV Land was good and vhs recorders were still around. ld:

Along with Gunsmoke, Bananza, laredo, Lawman, Cheyenne, etc...

 

[short barrel]

I remember very well, and yes I'm old. I still watch the re-runs in the afternoon.

 

[doubleh]

I also remember it. Wasn't my favorite western but good enough to watch. Watched one of the reruns just the other day.

Yes, I'm old. Three days older than dirt and know first hand that the dinosaurs were REALLY big according to my grandkids.

 

[billinms]

I do!!!

He's on my television right now on the Inspiration Channel.

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

This guy?... This GUY!?!...

Mister, he was, well, he was a knight without armor in a savage land... not to mention that ..."chess knight of silver is his badge of trust"!



Have gun will travel reads the card of a man
A knight without armor in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is a man called Paladin
Paladin Paladin where do you roam Paladin Paladin far far from home

He travels on to wherever he must
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen sing
Of a man with the gun of the man called Paladin
Paladin Paladin where do you roam Paladin Paladin far far from home
Far far from home far far from home

If you had read the line above the holster, you would know who I mean't. Bye the way, I have six grandchildren and one great grand son. I guess that means that I'm old. Everyone enjoy the thread.

Yeah... Kinda why I put the lyrics from "Have Gun Will Travel" in my post.

 

[Twiki357]

I remember it too. So I guess I’m also older than dirt. But I do have a half dozen episodes each of Have Gun Will Travel, Wyatt Earp, and Bat Masterson sitting on my DVR right now.

 

[1SOW]

I sometimes record an episode or two, just to have something to watch for short time periods.

Old enough to have watched "Lash Larue"? Hopalong Cassidy?

 

[Tenncvol]

And even further back, who remembers "listening" to the Lone Ranger and the Cisco Kid?

 

[kc.38]

I have you kids all beat. I used to listen to the show on radio with my dad. My dad liked this show and Gunsmoke so well that when they took them off radio he went out and bought our first tv and we never missed an episode. If they had stayed on radio I do not think my dad would have a tv to this day.

"Wire Paladin, San Francisco"

Not old yet, but I can see it from here.

Have Gun......., The Rifleman, and Wanted, Dead or Alive were my favorites when I was a kid. Bat Masterson was a good one, too

 

[aarondhgraham]

I knew a gentleman,,,

I knew a gentleman out in California,,,
He was a member of the local SASS group.

He worked in the TV industry (wrangler) back in those days,,,
His story was that Richard Boone was a nice guy,,,
But his gun handling skills were atrocious.

Apparently they had one kid on the set,,,
Whose sole job was to chase Boone's revolver.

Apparently he dropped it a lot.

I always wondered about that "2 ounce trigger".

Sure is nice not being the oldest guy in the place. Had to explain Mighty Mouse to a 25 year old girl yesterday. Been telling her for months her education is lacking.
A lot of actors had atrocious gun handling skills. Minds you, in those days a lot of 'em were shooters. Some of 'em seriously good too. All those Circus of the Stars shots Buddy Hackett did were real.

 

[SigP229R]

Other programs we would listen to on radio were; Lone Ranger, Gene Autry, Mike Hammer, Boston Blackie, Batman, Philip Marlowe, The Shadow, Crime Busters, Amos & Andy, Jack Benny, and so many more I can't remember but, we only got to listen if our homework was done.

 

[highlander 5]

Though not a western how about Sgt Preston of the Yukon. I can remember listening to the show on the radio. It was near the end of the Golden Age of radio.

Someone once compared Skeeter Skelton to Richard Boone in appearances.

Richard Boone played some characters in the movies (Big Jake, The Shootist) that you could almost smell in the theater.

Richard Boone starred in Halls of Montezuma a movie that pops up now and then. Really great cast.
