Black Saddle | comment |
Black Saddle is an American Western television series starring Peter Breck that aired 44 half-hour episodes on NBC from January 10, 1959, to May 6, 1960.Breck plays Clay Culhane, a gunfighter who becomes a lawyer after his brothers are killed in a shootout: a gunfight in which he himself was seriously injured, but survived. Realising that his life had to take a different direction, Clay hung up his gun and began to study the law. Based in the town of Latigo, New Mexico, Clay attempts to solve trouble through the law, but circumstances often force him to strap on his guns again. Other regulars include U.S. Marshal Gib Scott (Russell Johnson), a Reasonable Authority Figure who is suspicious of Clay, but generally gives him the benefit of the doubt, and Nora Travers (Anna-Lisa), who owns the hotel where Clay lives and who plays peacemaker between Culhane and Scott. | |

Trivial Title | |
Black Saddle / int_2b80abf4 | comment |
Trivial Title: Clay Culhane uses a distinctive black saddle when he rides. Others occasionally identify him by the saddle, but it otherwise has no bearing on the stories. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
Black Saddle / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: In "Client: Meade", the deputy Scott leaves to guard the prisoner immediately goes to sleep and is taken completely by surprise when the prisoner's mentor breaks in to free him. Made even worse by the fact that Scott had woken the deputy up when leaving, and warned him what might happen if he dozed off again. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
Black Saddle / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: "Blood Money" climaxes with Chet Mallet, who fatally shot (in the back) a respected citizen of Latigo who also happened to be a wanted but reformed outlaw with a price on his head. Unsurprisingly fearing for his life with the late ex-outlaw's brothers wanting his head and everyone in town despising him(Nora point blank tells him the hotel's full), he's about to leave with the reward money, but then a stranger rides into town looking for Mallet... and the paranoid Mallet draws his gun on the man...but the newcomer fires and kills Mallet in self-defence (both Clay and Scott witnessed it)... he was a newspaper reporter eager to do a piece on the man who killed Ansel King! | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: In the first season, all the episode were titled "Client: X" where X was name of the person who hired Clay's services. This convention was dropped in the second, where only one episode uses the "Client: X" formula. | |
