I'm not usually a crybaby but sometimes splitting hairs with answers to questions that are trivial even for trivia can cross the line.

Question fell off the trivia truck into the obscurity bin.

39 was a standard season back in the 50s and 60s, followed by 13 weeks of reruns or summer replacement shows.

Gregory Rogers, who cares about most of the questions? Probably no one, which is why it’s trivia.

Stephen W. Gerrard, I was in high school and college during '57-'63, so I wasn't into the holsters/calling card anymore, but until June '60 I was certsinly a fan of the show. Like you, and most others I'm sure, I didn't, and still don't, keep track of the episodes made for any tv show. To keep track of the number of episodes of any show⁶ would be rediculous unless a person was actually collecting them. In this case, I went for the top two numbers, using the double chance to find which to pick.

THAT is not the answer Google gives!

Who in the heck knew this!! I watched the show as a child and even had the holster set and the Paladin calling card. But, I had no clue how many episodes there were!

Well, that's certainly trivia but I think it's a bit narrow unless we're all TV history buffs.

djkforever, You are right,it would be a wonderful example of the concept of monetary inflation. At $2,000 per episode, he was the highest paid actor on TV. Imagine what the figure is today.
