Anyone recall a series from 1967/68 called Cimmaron Strip starring Stuart Whitman as a US Marshall. Entertaining at the time, but never quite took off in the way that some Western series did. Reckon it was mainly down to Whitman's role proving to be a bit naff!

A later series which I really enjoyed was 'Paradise' (later renamed Guns of Paradise), starring Lee Horsely as Ethan Cord, a reformed gunfighter charged with bringing up the orphaned kids of his sister. It ran from 1988 to 1981 only to be replaced by 'Dr Quin-Medicine Woman', which I thought was somewhat contrived - though the ratings spoke differently.
