Editorial Reviews
The show followed the adventures of Paladin (Richard Boone), a gentleman/gunfighter, who preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled. Paladin lived in the Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, where he dressed in formal attire, ate gourmet food, and attended the opera. In fact, many who met him initially mistook him for a dandy from the East. When working, he dressed in black, used calling cards, wore a holster that carried characteristic chess knight emblems, and carried a derringer under his belt.

I have been a fan of Have Gun Will Travel since I first saw it during the 1950s. It was the precursor of Kung Fu. In both cases the central character was "a knight without armor in a savage land." Both series also emphasized moral values through the central character's emphasis on helping those in need. Both series also had a distinct intellectual bent. In the case of Paladin the emphasis was placed on Western philosophy with quotable quotes by Paladin from major philosophers in conjunction with challenging ethical quagmires. Kane, the central character in Kung Fu and other characters such as Masters Han and Poe, also provided similar insights with an oriental thrust. In the final analysis, Have Gun Will Travel is one of the best TV series that ever hit the airways.
However I also agree with the comments offered by another reviewer regarding corporate greed. The pricing of this series is nothing more than a transparent ploy to make as much money as possible at the customer's expense. Possibly those who developed this strategy should take the time to view this series (along with Kung Fu) in the hopes of developing a moral center.

In my opinion. While I can understand the thoughts above concerning pricing and split seasons, I'm just happy that we may actually get all six seasons completed by end of next year.

I am surprised and overjoyed that Paramount continues to release Have Gun - Will Travel so quickly now, just 1 1/2 seasons to go to have the whole restored set. Thanks, Paramount

Richard Boone was classic as Paladin, Season 5 was great!! I can't wait for vol. 2. It's a shame they don't make this kind of television any longer.
