The premiere is still one of the funniest episodes in the run. The series was great fun, especially in the first season. Amazing staple of my kidhood.

Have Gun...great series. My favorite western. Every time I sit down to watch one, I wind up plowing through an entire disc. I love the feel of it. It has on and off lighter episodes, but it's mostly pretty serious. The b&w photography and the grim music (a great deal from the stock library) make this feel like a noir western.

Good to see this one getting a spotlight from you, Neal.

The second challenger, a 64 year old woman from Newton, Kansas is the night watchman for the Merchants'of Kansas facility. Richard Boone is this evening's mystery guest. He and John Daly discuss his success on his very popular TV series, "Have Gun, Will Travel" and to promote his incipient Broadway opening in the drama, called "The Rivalry" This was another play about Abraham Lincoln, within the context of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, in a season with where Lincoln is a popular subject - aptly so, to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth. Martin Gabel plays opposite Boone, as Stephen Douglas.​

The Range Rider had a reputation for fairness, fighting ability, and accuracy with his guns and was known far and wide, even by the Indians. Starring legendary stuntman Jock Mahoney in his first TV series. Produced by Gene Autry's Flying A Productions, former child star Dick Jones was Mahoney's sidekick. The program format was simple: squeeze as much action as possible into the 26:30 minute running time. A Word on Westerns

S01E09 The Baron of Broken Bow (1951)
Stars Jock Mahoney Dickie Jones Patricia Michon Leonard Penn Hal K. Dawson Don C. Harvey Frank Hagney Jack Ingram Tom London Wes Hudman​
The Range Rider and his sidekick, Dick West, are trying to get who is behind the recent feud between cattleman and sheepherders in Dick's hometown​
​

Rancher George Foreman, in cahoots with oil company scout Cass, finds out there is oil on the land of his neighbors, Radford and Evans. He plans to murder both of them and make it look like they killed each other. But Evans survives.
This was one of Gene Autry’s Flying A Productions and co-stars that other daredevil rider, and former voice of Disney's PINOCCHIO, Dick Jones, plus one of Gene’s leading ladies, Donna Martell. Entitled “Harsh Reckoning” this episode was shot back-to-back with "The Ghost of Poco Loco," an earlier RANGE RIDER episode also starring Donna. Actor James Griffith was in that, too, so he’s in this episode as well playing a bad guy out to buy up a couple of ranches, even if it means murdering Donna’s father. This being a RANGE RIDER episode, there is plenty of action! Jocko displays some fancy bullwhip action that rivals, or even surpases, that of B western star Lash LaRue. Let us know what you think in the comments section of this video. Plus, Jocko and Dick jump from a cliff and role to the bottom, then Jocko has a very creative outdoor fistfight with bad guy Dick Curtis and then Dickie gets into the act when he has to change a pair of dangerously soggy diapers on a baby. Lots of action and that baby is really cute, too. I once asked Jocko about the Buckskin horse he rode in this series. He told me that he didn’t remember much but that he didn't ride just one horse, like Roy and Gene did with Trigger or Champion. He rode several during the series and they all looked the same. Jock Mahoney was one of the greatest physical stuntmen who ever lived. Notice how Jocko strides when he walks, like a panther. He wore moccasins, something that Quentin Tarantino must have noticed because Brad Pitt’s stuntman in ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD wears moccasins just like Jocko's. Hasn’t Saturday morning changed a lot since the fifties? A Word on Westerns ​
​

Storekeeper Hilton is running a smuggling operation through a mine owned by Pete Harper and his young granddaughter Susan.When his henchmen fail to get rid of Pete he hires a bandit, Joe Larkin, to do the job.​
​

​

This fast paced entry featured rising starlet Karen Sharpe ("The High and the Mighty") as the cross dressing leader of a band of outlaws who gets wise to Jones' attempt to join the gang. Lots of typical fast riding and flying fisticuffs by Mahoney and Jones. Karen, too! Mahoney was good looking and could move like a cat. As the Range Rider he dressed in fringe suede and moccasins, his movements where rhythmic and swift. And he didn't ride a horse in the normal sense. His body seemed to float on top, an extended arm slapping the neck of his speeding buckskin mount. Before starring his his first series, Jocko's handsome face was almost always hidden. He doubled many top stars including Errol Flynn and Randolph Scott before really hiding his face doubling Charles Starrett as the masked Durango Kid. He wasn't even Jock! He was Jacques or Jack, sometimes O'Mahoney. Whatever they called him, he became the idol of thousands of TV Kid Cowboys! Enjoy. A Word on Westerns ​
