I grew up on "Have Gun Will Travel" and am enjoying the first season. They just don't make westerns like this any more. I will buy the rest of the set. Great quality and I enjoy reading all the "notes" on each show..

Okay we went through this with Wanted Dead or Alive the first year came out and then we waited and waited and waited, and finally bang bang the last two season came out faster than a speeding bullet. Now we are going through the same tedium with this great series. The first three came out and we are still waiting for the rest of them, and growing older, poorer, and getting tired of waiting.

This is another great series that stands the test of time (the other is Route 66).
While the actual running time is approx. 22 minutes per episode watching is like sitting down to read a book of terrific short stories. Paladin is a macho character, but one that has depth and breadth.
Highly recommended.

I'm not a genius, but I know one when I see one. When you look back and see how smart the guys were who created and wrote the Have Gun Will Travel TV shows, then you appreciate the shows even more. I went through my entire life not knowing what Paladin meant. Not long ago I actually looked it up in the dictionary, and here is what I found:
"paladin." Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 09 Mar. 2008. .
1. any one of the 12 legendary peers or knightly champions in attendance on Charlemagne.
2. any knightly or heroic champion.
3. any determined advocate or defender of a noble cause.
The perfect description of Paladin. Now you know the symbolism of the knight on his holster and business card.....and his name! If that is not genius, then I don't know what is. Sadly, it took me almost 50 years to realize this, but you will appreciate the shows even more with this bit of knowledge... at least I did.
These shows are timeless. You know that good will triumph over evil every time, and you know Paladin will not hesitate to kill the bad guys who are taking advantage of the poor innocents. They are going to get theirs, and it's a comfort knowing that he will do it every time. I remember one lady who thanked Paladin after he had just killed her husband. She said if not Paladin, someone else would have done it, and she was relieved. Charles Bronson is the guy Paladin shot. Many of the players on this series went on to become big stars. Johnny Western sings the song at the end of many shows. He appears on the show sometimes, and I remember listening to him as as DJ on the radio station KFDI in Wichita, Kansas, back in the 1980s.
Anyone who watches this show secretly wishes they could be like Paladin, especially the guys. He is suave and debonair with the ladies, he speaks countless languages, graduated from West Point, and has a fast and accurate draw that no one can match. The definition of 'hero' should include the word 'Paladin' as part of its meaning.
One of the other reviewers has listed all the episodes, so I won't try to duplicate it here. If you buy this, you won't be disappointed. Besides, your time will be better spent watching these shows than almost any of the stuff on TV nowadays.

Have Gun Will Travel is a classic Western that you can't usually find on television. A must have for anyone who loves Westerns.
