Have Gun - Will Travel: Black Sheep (1960)
Remember the era in which this series aired
These episodes represent a long forgotten past. The may seem moralistic today, but back then, this was the norm. They are all classic morality plays in one way or another. And can anyone imagine doing this today in a half-hour? Without CGI? Not on my life.
Once, in America, people crowded around their TV sets each evening to watch shows such as this one. It was a major part of their day. Paladin represents the contest between good and evil and acts as a moderator, but always on the side of truth. Today we see no such deep drama. We see shallow "reality" shows and other such shows that require nothing on the part of the viewer. But when Paladin aired, viewers were required to use their brains and intelligence, not just to sit back and swill a few.
