The pilot for "Trackdown" originally aired on the "Zane Grey Western Theater" May 3, 1957 entitled "Badge of Honor". Culp's character, Hobie Gilman, returns home to Texas at the end of the Civil War and goes up against the town's boss. He succeeds and then decides to join the Texas Rangers.
@suev3339....Yep, I recognized Sheb. And there was James Best, the bad guy in the saloon, who is best remembered as Sheriff Roscoe in the Dukes of Hazard show. The young man with the pregnant wife was familiar but the credits were covered up so I didn't get to see who he was. I also recognized the brave woman in the church but don't know her name either. And there were several others who were well known faces who filled out a list of actors/actresses who gave a lot of believability and professionalism to this episode.
James Griffith, head bad guy. In the role of Aaron Adams, the town barber, Griffith appeared in 1958 in twelve episodes of the CBS western series, Trackdown.
"I'll lie here on the roof waggling my nice SHINY rifle around for fifteen minutes whilst making a complete FECK UP of operating the lever mechanism and alerting the bad guys"
As a kid, loved these shows. Another was "The Rebel" with Nick Adams, but that's a big no-no these days. Another, "Wanted, Dead or Alive" Steve McQueen.
The long enough hat pin either in the carotid (artery in neck) or the eye or the groin or the knee cap. She's a church lady and not a martial artist and she does not think that way.
man can this cast make it any more believable,TRACKDOWN should have ran back to back with GUNSMOKE AND HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL,its that good,genius actors
Sheb Wooley was Pete Nolan, the scout, on Rawhide, starring Eric Fleming and Clint Eastwood
I Would Like To See Remakes Of These Old Movies, I Love Them We Should Have More Movies Like These

@@marbleman52 Excellent cast this episode had for sure. I too recognized some but like you wasn’t able to place the names.
Paul Brinegar was in one episode also.
James Griffith, head bad guy.

Griffith was terrific, usually as prairie scum, as here, in a million westerns of that era. Great performer.

Definitely not a sharp shooter. Had the chance and stayed there looking.
This "Yrackdown Episode" ably reminds me of the movie.."The Fastest Gun Alive!"
James Best AKA Roscoe P. Coltrane.
How is it that I have never heard of this show? It's quite good.

Those hatpins could be lethal.

If I'm remembering correctly, it did do that: HAVE GUN at 8:30, GUNSMOKE at 9, TRACKDOWN at 9:30 (Central Time) on CBS Saturday night. Great lineup!
❤🎉
Roscoe b Coleraine! James Best as Rand Marple.
