   "Have Gun, Will Travel" was somewhat unique. It had a completely   
   different opening theme, the same theme used for the radio program.   
   "Ballad of Palladin" was the closing theme which I don't think was used   
   in the radio program.   
      
   As long as people are in a mood for trivia, what is unique about "Have   
   Gun, Will Travel" among the Westerns that were on both radio and television?
