Description

Crime dramas and westerns dominated radio back in 50-s and one of the most popular radio wasterns, along with Gunsmoke, was Have Gun Will Travel.. Have Gun – Will Travel is an American Western series that was produced and originally broadcast by CBS on both television and radio from 1957 through 1963. The television version of the series was rated number three or number four in the Nielson ratings every year of its first four seasons, and it is one of the few shows in television history to spawn a successful radio version AFTER the launch of the TV version. Most radio shows came before and transitioned to TV. That radio series debuted November 23, 1958, more than a year after the premiere of its televised counterpart. (Usually radio came first). The TV show have Gun Will Travel was created by Sam Rolfe and Herb Meadow Of the 225 episodes of the television series, 24 were written by Gene Roddenberry-who gave us Star Trek. This series follows the adventures of a man calling himself "Paladin" (played by Richard Boone on television and voiced by John Dehner on radio), taking his name from that of the foremost knight warriors in Charlemagne's court- the subject of a future episode at 1001 Heroes. He is a gentleman gunfighter who travels around the Old West working as a mercenary for people who hire him to solve their problems. His permanent place of residence is the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco, where he lives the life of a successful businessman and bon vivant, wearing elegant custom-made suits, consuming fine wine, playing the piano, and attending the opera and other cultural events. He is an expert chess player, poker player, and swordsman. He is skilled in Chinese martial arts and is seen in several episodes receiving instruction and training with a Kung Fu master in San Francisco. Ah…grasshopper. He is highly educated, able to quote classic literature, philosophy, and case law, and speaks several languages. He is also president of the San Francisco Stock Exchange Club.
