I also love the “Sixhooter” with Jimmy Stewart. Unfortunately there were not all that many made and I have heard everyone probably twice over including tonights program. I also love the Texas Rangers with Joel MaCrea. Great programs all.
There were only 39 episodes of "The Sixshooter". According to Stan Freberg, hosting When Radio Was, a tobacco company was willing to sponsor the program, but Stewart didn't want that. This is supported in On the Air, where John Dunning writes: "Despite Stewart's great prestige, the show was largely sustained. Chesterfield was interested, but Stewart declined, not wanting a cigarette company to counter his largely wholesome image."
