Wyatt Earp starring Hugh O'Brian
Actually the series was called something like "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" or something like that. I was a hooked 6 year old as I recall. I even ordered a "Buntline Special" toy six shooter with the looonnnggg barrel. I think there was a life lesson there too.

The Buntline WAS in fact a legend as I later found out and no real proof of its existence was ever found in contemporary accounts short of Earp's own.....and old Wyatt was known to spin a yarn now and again. When mine came in the mail after waiting for what seemed an eternity, it turned out to be a cheap plastic thing which broke the first time I played with it. I was totally heartbroken as only a 6 year old can be when a dream goes poof.
