Where To Watch
Can you tell the difference between Bret Maverick and Paladin?
These well-dressed Western heroes for hire have a lot in common – do you know what sets them apart?
On the surface, the heroes of Maverick and Have Gun – Will Travel appear to have a lot in common. Both Bret Maverick and Paladin travel the West doing odd jobs and settling scores — even if they'd rather not resort to violence. Both can even be quite funny at times.
Paladin was actually referenced in the Maverick episode "Gun-Shy." The story, a parody of Gunsmoke, follows Marshal Mort Dooley and his deputy Clyde Diefendorfer who remarks that a gunfighter "came into town last week handing out business cards." The business-minded Paladin sure fits that description!
Of course, there are more than a few differences between the leads of Maverick and Have Gun – Will Travel. Can you tell which gallant gunfighter the following descriptions are about?
-
Though he travels throughout the West, he is based out of a hotel in San Francisco.
-
He sometimes gets caught up in adventures with his brother.
-
He is usually hired for a standard fee of $1,000.
-
He often recounts lessons and wisdom from his father saying, "Like my old Pappy used to say…"
-
He is much better with his fists than with his gun.
-
He graduated from West Point.
-
He wins a "full-blooded Arabian mount" in a poker game that turns out to be a camel.
-
He wears bright colored clothes unless out on a job where he changes into all black.
-
He often quotes historical literature like Shakespeare and Don Quixote.
-
He was once mistaken for real life historical figure Doc Holliday.

That was easy. Paladin wore navy blue, not black. It just looked black because the show was filmed in black & white.
