CBS started the year 1958 off with the introduction on 01/29/58 of Frontier Gentleman.  That series lasted 41 broadcasts.  Near the end of the year, the network launched Have Gun, Will Travel on 11/23/58, which continued for 106 programs.  In between, a very short series was offered and discontinued after only 16 broadcasts, Luke Slaughter Of Tombstone. Each program had an authoritative opening statement: "Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter.  Cattle's my business.  It's a tough business, it's a big business.  I got a big stake in it.  And there's no man west of the Rio Grande big enough to take it away from me."  Junius Matthews was heard as Slaughter's sidekick, Wichita.
