Wyatt is a hero.

And My Personal Idol.

One of the greatest of the tv Westerns. Hugh O'Brian was perfect as Wyatt Earp!

Both Hugh O'Brien and James Garner resembled photos of Earp, which is why they were both cast in the role at different times over the years. Garner played him in two movies and O'Brien occasionally played the part in the decades after the TV series ended in different other series venues and a TV-movie partly comprised of old clips.

Theme song: "Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp/Brave, courageous and bold/Long live his fame and long live his glory/And long may his story be toooolllllddddd . . . "

Hugh O'Brian went to military school during high school and learned to ride a horse while there. This helped him land the role of Wyatt Earp. Too bad military schools have kind of gone out of style. The way this country is going we could use them again.

No matter what the real life Earp was like, the TV show was great and gave kids a hero to look up to. He was brave, honest, and well mannered.

Shoot, those were tough times and the people became tough just to survive.

I did a stitch in the army and watched goofy city boys become hard, tough soldiers in about six months. When you live in the bush, dodge bullets and are constantly on edge to guard your life, you become tough as nails or you don't make it home alive.

People adapt.

You are exactly right. As someone who watched the show in the 50's and is now enjoying watching it again I agree it was done for entertainment. It was not a documentary or history lesson. While most of the facts are basically true, like all movies and TV shows they are embellished to make the characters and the entire show more interesting to the audience. No one knows exactly what happened every day of his life.

to the commenters: you all must realize that this is mostly entertainment-the tv shows; they are not trying to make it all factual; just trying to put some excitement in the tv series--you guys just don't seem to get it---if it was all facts it would be boring--and too mush for tv--and no one back in the 1950's would have watched it

My friend, you should do some research on Bat Masterson. He wasn't the man you think he was. The name "Bat" was short for "Battling". He did some boxing to earn money. He was also a gambler, but was not the gunfighter as shown on TV. he was shot in the pelvic region which caused him to limp the rest of his life. That was why he carried the cane. Until my first visit to Tombstone I thought Earp was a great man. It was there I found about about the real man. I then did my own reasearch.
