Season 3 of Have Gun Will Travel is excellent.. The quality of the production of the DVD's sound and picture quality is better than I expected.

The third season of HAVE GUN was undoubtedly the worst of the series, though argued by hard-core fans as being the second worst season of the series behind the sixth season. The production was hurried on account of Boone's insistence that he star in the stage production of Norman Corwin's "The Rivalry" with Martin Gable.
Since most people buy a season but don't make it through all of the discs, here are the best of the season:
FIRST, CATCH A TIGER (September 12, 1959) Season opener directed by Ida Lupino.
EPISODE IN LAREDO (September 19, 1959) Great character study of a hired gun, and Paladin's job to take care of him within the sights of his own son.
LES GIRLS (September 26, 1959) Silly premise written by Gene Roddenberry (yes, Roddenberry of Star Trek fame) but the names of al the fictional characters in this episode are named after Roddenberry's family members and sisters.
SHOT BY REQUEST (October 10, 1959) Based on a story by Howard Seay who was desperate for money and sold the story idea to the producers. John Abbott's best performance.
FRAGILE (October 31, 1959) Avoid thsi episode - it's the worst.
THE UNFORGIVEN (November 7, 1959) David White gets a bed role, which is sad for a man of his talents but the script it top notch. One of the best of the season.
THE NAKED GUN (December 19, 1959) Ken Curtis plays the role of Monk, a character that will make a return in a fourth-season episode. This was the same professional singer Curtis who would later play Festus on GUNSMOKE.
CHARLEY RED DOG (December 12, 1959) Great story and Scott Marlowe helps make this one of the best of the season.
THE LEDGE (February 13, 1960) One of the most macabre and satisfying episodes of the series.
LOVE OF A BAD WOMAN (March 26, 1960) A great story with Larry Dobkin returning for a role. Dobkin and Boone were good friends and the story is great.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR (April 2, 1960) The ONLY episode to NEVER take place outside of the Hotel Carlton. The whole story was filmed on sets so obviously Hey Boy gets to do some true comic efforts.
NEVER HELP THE DEVIL (April 16, 1960) Superb episode opener in the Cresecnt City General Store, rest of the episode isn't worth watching.
THE TWINS (May 21, 1960) Worth watching just to see a twist on the Cain and Abel story.
The behind-the-scenes trivia that is included with the episodes on the DVDs isn't worth a darn. Very little trivia at all. Telling me that Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek isn't trivia to me. I do recommend when you buy this set or future HGWT sets, you buy the HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL COMPANION book by Martin Grams and Les Rayburn. That book tells you who got shot accidentally on the set, who got drunk, which episodes were filmed in 1 day instead of 3, how to spot Hal Needham as a stuntman, where the episodes were filmed, which episodes have Richard Boone's son in the cast, lots of background material that is worth reading before or after each episode. The book is available on Amazon.com so I believe buying both would entitle you to free postage. Recommended. Season Four is an improvement, do grab that when it comes out.

I found the third season outstanding. I have seasons 1, 2 & 3. I plan on buying the rest of the shows when they become available.
