I picked this set up a while back at an estate sale and have slowly made my way thru the years.
Richard Boone stars as Paladin, a very cultured and well read gun for hire. Things in this show weren't always solved by the gun and a lot of the writing and characted development was top notch.
Boone played Paladin to the hilt, but what makes this unique is that his character never overshadows the others. The other characters in the episodes are allowed to develope and we sometimes see much more of them than Paladin.
This ran on CBS for 6 seasons and contains 225 classic episodes. I can't remember any episode that I disliked and I found most of them to be very well written and acted.
It's a good thing they never made this an hour long show as I believe more padding would have killed it. I don't know if anyone who reads this has seen this show or not, but if you have I hope you liked it. I know I did and still do to this day.
Some of the guests who appeared on the show include Hank Patterson, Olan Soule, John Anderson, Susan Cabot, Denver Pyle, Harry Carey Jr., Mary Gregory, Patricia Medina, Vitina Maecus and Mark Dana plus hundreds more.
One of the best, and if you get a chance you might want to check out some of the episodes, then you might get hooked and have to watch them all.
