"The Restless Gun" is a western television series that appeared on NBC. The series starred John Payne as a gregarious, intelligent, wandering cowhand/gunslinger. The half-hour black and white 1957-59 program ran for 78 episodes. The pilot was broadcast as an installment of the anthology series "The Schlitz Playhouse of Stars" on March 29, 1957; it was based on the old radio series "The Six Shooter" and Payne's character had the same name: Britt Ponset. This was changed to Vint Bonner when the actual series began. Some episodes of the series were based on the radio programs. Actors making appearances on the series included Henry Hull, Edgar Buchanan, Jack Elam, Dan Blocker, James Coburn, John Dehner, Claude Akins, Denver Pyle, Olive Carey, Robert Fuller, Ellen Corby, Don Grady, John Mitchum (Robert Mitchum's brother), Mala Powers, Fay Spain, and Ray Teal. Blocker and Coburn each had their first substantive screen roles on the show. One of the show's producers, David Dortort, would go on to produce the more successful "Bonanza" TV series, which debuted right after "The Restless Gun" was cancelled.
