Been watching this alot for the past year, and Boone is just a terrific Paladin. A couple minor complaints, Paladin looks a bit ridiculous when he goes into his fast-draw crouch. Glad that didn't carry over into all the episodes. Also, when Hal Needham takes over doubling Boone in action scenes, he's a bit too obvious. Suddenly Paladin gets a bit thinner, and far more agile than Boone. As one character commented as he watched Paladin a street brawl with 2 other guys, "he moves like a dancer"-which Needham DOES during the fight, since he does all of, except for a couple closeups of Boone. Acting-wise, no one could top Boone on the show.

Last nites HGWT episode on WC with Gene Lyons as a gunfighter was sure reminiscent of The Shootist.

I missed pretty much all HGWT on it's original run, and have been having a great time catching up on it on TWC. Hal Needham musta gotten rich off this show alone, considering he's doubling Boone, plus playing a part in almost every episode. Nice to see all the Duke regulars like Ed Faulkner, Victor McLaughlin, Ken Curtis, Roberson, Hayward, etc popping up from time to time.
