Bat Masterson (TV series)
Bat Masterson was a Western television series which showed a fictionalized account of the life of real-life marshal/gambler/dandy Bat Masterson. The title character was played by Gene Barry. The show ran on NBC from 1959 to 1961.
The show took a tongue-in-cheek outlook, with Barry's Masterson dressed in expensive Eastern clothing and preferring to use his cane rather than a gun to get himself out of trouble. Masterson was also portrayed as a ladies' man who traveled the West looking for women and adventure.
Barry went on to star in Burke's Law, pretty much the same show except set in modern-day Los Angeles.
