Wanted: Dead or Alive (1958–1961)
9/10
Loved this show, in the 80s as a preteen/teen

Warning: Spoilers
I used to catch every rerun of this show I could in the 80s. Came on very late at night. I always said I would own a "mare's leg" one day, I still plan on it.

I loved that Randall tried his hardest to always bring them in alive. He would even defend them against those that wanted them dead in order to ensure them a fair trial. He stood for justice.

I had read once that Steve McQueen hated being on the show, even danced a jig when it was cancelled. I never understood why, until I binge watched all three seasons this past weekend. In about 90% of the episodes, he was knocked unconscious. He's supposed to be a big tough bounty hunter, however, he always seemed to get bushwhacked. Then there were some very questionable episodes in the third season, "Baa-Baa", "Witch Woman", "To The Victor",... etc.

Only reason I gave it 9/10 stars.
