      You know, I'm a sucker for old Westerns, and @MeTV delivers. I love “Gunsmoke," and right now I’m watching “Have Gun, Will Travel," which was a great show from the late 1950s/early 1960s.

      HGWT was my favorite as a kid and hasn't aged a bit. Richard Boone gave Paladin a Shakespearean quality and the theme song was terrific. Ida Lupino directed some of the best episodes, giving them a film noir cast she picked up from some of her movie work.

      And Paladin always tipped “Boy” well!

      Yeah, I know. That was racist as hell. If you ignore the "Hey Boy" part, though, the show was amazingly good, even by today's standards.

      The name was racist but the character was always portrayed as intelligent and treated with respect.

      Yes. I was amazed at that when I saw a rerun recently. And that was in the 1950’s I believe. My thought was that it was not only good modeling but subversive as well.

      Everything about HGWT was subversive. That’s why it plays so well today. First western show with an educated hero. First with a woman directing key episodes. Great stuff.

      It's true. The stories were not the simple "black and white" sort of stories typical of Westerns of the time.

      The other truly subversive western, although for different reasons, was Maverick with a hero that was a con man and a coward. Not surprisingly it also stands up very well today.

      I’ve been watching that show on @MeTV too.
