- Quotes
Narrator: Sometimes he ran into people like that. They had the wrong idea, but it didn't pay to try and put them straight. Bounty hunting wasn't too bad a way to live. You got to see a lot of the country. You met a lot of people and it was better than digging in the dirt or standing on his feet all day back of a bank counter. It was a living and now and then a good one. His income came from finding lost brothers and runaway husbands. Josh liked the life and it seemed to like him.
Featured review
A Star is born!
The origin of Josh Randall begins here. Steve McQueen gets his second big break (The Blob being the first one). A few months later Wanted: Dead or Alive would hit the TV screens and make history! The legend of Steve McQueen was born!
Trackdown featured the humorless and generally sour Robert Culp as Hoby Gilman. He was a Texas Ranger, and while most cowboys in a TV show had a girlfriend, Hoby was always alone and sullen. I found this show to be a bit boring, and I did not like Robert Culp much. It was a blast to see Steve McQueen guest star and steal the show!
I wish this episode was included with the Wanted: Dead or Alive dvd set. It is really the pilot episode for that show.
