Have Gun Will Travel 106 Eps

(4,68 Sterne; 103 Bewertungen)

(106 Episodes) "Have Gun Will Travel," the 106 episode radio Western created by Sam Rolfe & Herb Meadow (starring John Dehner as Paladin) was broadcast on CBS (ty jenni janzen, for the thumbs up!!) radio, November 23, 1958 to November 22, 1960. Paladin 'Gun For Hire' lived in & worked out of the Carleton Hotel, in 1875 San Francisco. During many episodes, we heard Paladin in conversation with the Carleton Hotel's Chinese bell hop, 'Hey-Boy' (starring Ben Wright). Have Gun Will Travel was one of those very rare programs which got its START as a top rated television show (CBS TV 1957 thru 1963, starring Richard Boone), successfully moving to radio broadcast, there-after. Thank you to OTR fan, "Hack Prine" (Aug 13/10), for this important additional data! These wonderful programs will never die as long as they have avid OTR listeners to keep it alive!

Attention: falcofalcofalco ......

(5 Sterne)

falcofalcofalco .... I have done my homework, and judging by the critism you have made against the quality of the many available (FREE) Gunsmoke and (FREE) Have Gun Will Travel episodes, within the Internet Archive, I have reached the conclusion that you possibly, just don't understand the workings of this wonderfull FREE Internet Archive and all that it offers to you and others. I (like other Joe's and Josephine's who upload to the IA) volunteer many many hours of time to upload "STUFF," for the (FREE) enjoyment and pleasure of all present and future generations. I ask you (falco x3) to consider the thought that volunteers (like this Josephine) who upload to the IA, are untrained, unpaid workers who give freely of their time - not because they have to but because they want to .... for posterity. Please also take time to note that the age of many OTR single episodes just may have alot to do with poor sound quality. As for the better sound quality of some OTRR copies, it is very likely he or she who cleaned up the many 1,000s of (FREE) OTRR episodes, which you clearly enjoy listening to, likely (at their own expense) took the time to buy the costly program needed to clean up many of these shows, for the (FREE) enjoyment of the many millions of listeners - not to mention the many, many hours it took to do the clean-up. Have you, falco... ever considered volunteering your time somewhere, maybe even in the uploading of something interesting to the Internet Archive? This would be a most appreciated gesture on your part, and I can pretty-much guarantee you will be more proud of yourself for your time spent in helping others, rather than in criticising others for doing what they so clearly derive pride and joy in doing - in my case, volunteering my time for future generations, is a job of love. Whether I receive positive remarks, negative remarks, or no remarks at all, for the pleasure of all listeners, I will continue to upload to the IA. The download numbers on what I and other volunteers have uploaded to the IA, do not lie. The numbers clearly indicate the joy these "FREE to you and others" OTR programs, movies, TV shows and Books, bring to all who download them. As long as people continue to download, there will be a meeting of present and future generations with past generations. Thank you for your comments (falco x3). What is it they say about: "Even bad publicity is blah blah blah ....?" Please consider coming on board with uploading to the IA, the 'work' I so greatly enjoy! Respectfully yours, DEF gp ddh

I'm enjoying these while I iron!

(4 Sterne)

I've been watching the TV series since the late 80s when I discovered them when I was 15 years old. I've always known about the radio series and have listened to a few, but now that I found them here I enjoy listening to an episode or two while I Iron my pants and shirt for the next day.

Excellent!!!

(5 Sterne)

Very fine series. As pointed out below Gene Roddenberry, wrote episodes. As I have just listened to the first five or six, I can't say how many. Very adult series, it's not afraid to dabbble it the less virtuous areas of life. Commendably, it addresses the horrible treatment of the Native Americans, showing their humanity,and how their basic morals, wants and desires weren't that different than their "white" counterparts. This was in an era when most shows were still espousing 19th century way of thinking.

Radio v TV

(5 Sterne)

I have had the pleasure of seeing all the TV episodes (an icon of my early years) as well as listening to the radio programs by courtesy of this site and each has its own merit. However, I found the radio version much more to my taste. I suspect it is because I could use my imagination to fill in the visual story, always something more exciting than to have the images doled out to me. Thanks for making this excellent series available.

Western best

(5 Sterne)

Big fan of this show. It's said that John Dehner never watched the tv version so it wouldn't taint his performance. Well written and acted. I know it's hokey to say but my favorites are the ones where he helping Hey Boy or Miss Wang out of trouble. These are always worth a listen.

Great adult stories.

(5 Sterne)

This is the third time that I have listened to this enjoyable series. While there are few episodes that do have poor audio quality, the rest of the series is of quite excellent quality. And then again, I didn't have to pay a dime for a single one. Thanks so much, mrk65

Great Western

(5 Sterne)

These shows are well writen. I especially like the shows about real people and towns from the old west. John Dehner is great as always..

Who knew? Another boffo otr western better than the tv version!

(5 Sterne)

I love Gunsmoke, but love hgwt for its non-fictional setting (Frisco, stranger). The music sure don't hold a candle to Gunsmoke's beautiful scoring...love the commercials on the ones I've heard, from WROW Tri-Cities. Such as...1960 car of the year the chevrolet corvair! In ep 074. The world news for easter sunday 1960 is in ep 072...includes 'negro student nonviolence unrest' story as well as one on the pioneer 5 satellite and photos from it of easter island on account of it being easter...I know some are annoyed by the additional material you find on some episodes, but to me they add to the 'time travel' feeling of listening to old time radio. They also have the potential to be as valuable and useful culturally as the programming ads made possible. For instance, for the young pups in the room, the Corvair would quickly become known as a deathtrap which needed a trunk full of ballast or it was to quote ralph nader, 'unsafe at any speed.' thx volunteers who made THIS possible...this means you, def gp ddh!
