I Will Wire Paladin - Mookie
I heard some buzz about this being a great classic and I am not disappointed. I love this show. Quick, fun adventures with some smart writing and top notch acting that holds up over the years.
Funny to think that this was a time when Westerns were as abundant on TV as CSI shows are now. Now Westerns are few and far between. In this show, there isn't any real character development of Paladin - we don't even learn his first name (I thought it was "Wire" because his business cards read "Wire Paladin" but um..that was a verb and not a name..oops :) but we still get a strong sense of who he is and what his character stands for, and against. I love the fact they are 25 minute episodes so we don't get the padding that the one hour Mission Impossible episodes are full of. We get short and sweet shows that are still a joy to watch. Recommended to any lovers of TV who get excited when the show is in B and W and don't turn away in disgust.have gun will travel season 1 disc 1 - tvfanatic

When this series started I was only 9 years old. It was in a period of time when our heros were "HEROS" and our men were "MEN". In that time period men were not allowed to be considered "weak" or to "not know" something. We've come a long way! Now-a-days movie characters are more "rounded".
This show was my favourite western series when I was a child. The acting is exceptional with a "star" in almost every episode. Because they don't tell you who the "star" is in the opening credits I enjoyed seeing if I could "recognize" the episode's star. For example Angie Dickinson is VERY YOUNG.
I enjoyed this first disc so much that I purchased the three seasons that were available. I had to purchase it from Amazon.com though.
