The old rough and ready cowboy has changed greaTly in The pasT Tew Television seasons. The hero, a clean-cuT man, usua'Iy more well-spoken Than The oThers. no longer rides The range on a pinTo or a whiTe sTaIIion. IThe days oT The sTagecoach chases are gone Torever.I InsTead, he siTs aT his desk in The sheriTT's oTTice or enioys an opera wiTh a beauTiTul senoriTa. As in The case oT Paladin, he may also quoTe Trom lvlonTaigne or Shakespeare. The bad guy, on The oTher hand, speaks in The Jack Webb monosylla- bic Tashion and usually wears a mus- Tache. There is no such Thing as a gang anymore. Three men Travel TogeTher, one oT whom has more brains Than The oThers. One oT The oTher men is very sTupid. I-le usually blunders and causes The sheriTT or hero To geT wise To The seTup by Talking Too much. The boss may be a prominenT ciTizen oT The Town. The TrighTened girl never suspecTs him and unwiTTingly Tells him The sheriTT's plans To capTure The ouT- laws. The hero oTTen has To Take a spoiled young girl on a long iour- ney. IT iT is a serial, he leaves her aT Their desTinaTion a new person, com- pIeTeIy aware oT her spoiled behavi- or, repenTanT, and anxious To make amends Tor The Trouble she has caused. IT, however, iT is a single sTory, The hero reTorms her and Then marries her. The hero knows all The Trails in The surrounding woods or mounTains. I-le oTTen has an Indian Triend who is his blood-broTher and who helps him Track. Every cowboy has a Theme song Today. I-le musT have some mark To disTinguish him Trom ordinary men. This is done Through a silver buIIeT, a chess knighT, a special gun, or a calling card. I-le wears The same shirT ThroughouT his enTire Television ca- reer. There is oTTen a iesTer in The pic- Ture who doesn'T seem To have much THEYRE GUI ' T HAT AWAY -' I -1 knowledge, buT provides The humor- ous angle oT The sTory. I-Ie isn'T hand- some. I-le mighT be an old Tellow wiTh a beard or a young Tellow wiTh a limp. SomeTimes The hero is a UniTed STaTes lvlarshalq someTimes he is a gambler. I-le is Torced To have iT ouT wiTh an ouTlaw, much againsT his will. Il-le always wins, incidenTaI- Iy.I I-le oTTen Takes cases, as a law- yer would. One oT The greaTesT changes in Television wesTerns is ThaT The TiTTy- shoT six-shooTer has Tinally become obsoIeTe. Now, The viewer sees The men reload Their guns once in a while.
