I can warmly recall western TV show tunes such as "Johnny Yuma was a rebel he rode through the west". And "All but one man died. There at Bitter Creek". And who could forget "da-dumb, da-dumb, da-dumb, dumb, dumb,de-dumb, dumb dumb" of The Wild, Wild West. And then there's Bat Masterson with "And those with too ready a trigger, Forgot to figure". And "He wore a cane and derby hat,They called him Bat". The show was okay. Paladin was more cerebral. Maverick was funnier. Cheyenne was pithier. Gunsmoke had a taller leading man. Bonanza had color. Even Yancy Derringer had better writing. But Gene Barry did an okay job of being a gentleman Marshall.
