The western lawman theme was sure popular back in the day. Not to mention my hero Paladin!

Sugarfoot is the only one,of this group for whom I`ve never run across a single re-run ......I vaguely remember how he was able to foil a train robbery in order to save a shipment of insulin to Dodge City.....
.......back then,I thought "WEST" was the name of a state .....so I didn`t have a FULL bag of marbles to work with........

@john-barry I think my love of Paladin was sealed when I got his Have Gun Will Travel Hat/pistol & holster/business cards set back in 1959. I remember it; I thought I had died and gone to heaven! My folks reminded me for years how I used to fill in my name "Jackie" on the cards, get all dressed up in the outfit and visit our neighbors. I would give out my card and tell them to call me if they needed help. They must have howled with laughter when I left. Really.....I was a "special" child. Lol.

"Jackie Dodds, Jackie Dodds, where do you roam?"
no one ever actually ever asked Paladin where he roamed John......if one needed this type of information,the accepted method was to wire San Francisco.....chances were better than average you would receive for your efforts,within six weeks, a signed portrait of Mr Din himself (usually stamp/signed by Heyboy)

Watched all of those. Yeah Sugarfoot was less of a favorite in my era but I also watched the likes of Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Tom Mix, Cheyenne and this guy and more:

Now THAT was a good series along with Bat Masterson.

@john-barry, apparently this information was not available to the folks who wrote the theme song, probably a small group of musicians working for union scale.

Like Tony, I think I saw all those westerns when I was a kid. Plus, Bonanza, Davy Crockett, Bat Masterson and movies like The Magnificent Seven.
