Shotgun Slade (October 24, 1959)

A western TV series with a twist: instead of a gunslinger or a sheriff/marshal, the main character was a private detective.
The program ran in syndication from 1959-61 for a total of 78 episodes. Scott Brady portrayed Slade.
In the premiere episode, "The Missing Train", Slade is called upon in the case of an entire train that has gone missing, and aboard it was one million dollars in coins.

Shotgun Slade is a good western series. I was a kid when Paladin (Have Gun, Will Travel), Gunsmoke, and Rawhide, etc. were really popular. It's Sept. 2024 and I'll take these westerns over the absolute trash polluting the airwaves today.

Ah, Peter Whitney. A great character actor. Could do comedy and get serious when called for. You see him on "The Rifleman", and as Layfe Crick on the "Hillbillies". Man, he was a riot on that. Top notch laughs.

This was the first episode aired in most markets. The pilot, titled "The Salted Mine" (featuring Ernie Kovacs as a prospector), originally aired as an episode of Schlitz Playhouse of Stars, which had been canceled the previous season.
