For me - "Have Gun - Will Travel" ("HGWT", for short) was a disappointing TV Western (set in the year 1875) which ran from 1957-1963.
Overall - I found its main character, a complacent "gentleman" gunfighter named Wire Paladin (played by Richard Boone) to be one of the dullest, driest, most uncharismatic macho-men of the "Old West" that you could ever imagine.
Boone's stone-faced character was so annoyingly conceited and way too sure of himself that he totally grated on my nerves, big-time. And, it sure didn't take long for me to completely despise that pencil-thin moustache of his that was forever kept immaculately trimmed.
You know - I'm generally a pretty enthusiastic viewer of TV Westerns from this particular era in boob-tube history - But HGWT's stories were so badly conceived that I swear they were making them all up as they went along.
