Guns of Will Sonnett, TheFirst Aired in 1967 We search for a man named Jim Sonnett and the tales folks tell may be true; Most call him gunman and killer; He's the son I hardly knew. I raised Jim's boy from the cradle; 'till the day he said to me, "I have to go find my father". And I reckon that's the way it should be. So we ride, Jim's boy and me. The Guns of Will Sonnett was notable for being one of super producer Aaron Spelling's first television series and series star Walter Brennan's (The Real McCoys) last. Despite a lot of promotion by ABC, the series never really caught on with the viewers. After two months of searching for James, the viewers finally got to meet up with the gunslinger in episode 6, even though it would take Will & Jeff another year and a half to finally catch up to the prodigal Sonnett. Although Jason Evers is listed below as a series regular, he was never included in the opening titles but always got the primary Guest Star credit in each episode he appeared in. While Jim Sonnett was a well known gunslinger, the elder Sonnett was no slouch. Will Sonnett was an Rifleman in the Army and once explained to someone who was spoiling for a fight that he was an even faster draw than his famous son. That fact was proven several times during the series as Will pulled his Grandson out of numerous scrapes, most of them started because of the family name. Guns of Will Sonnett also stood out among the other westerns at the time because of the way Will Sonnett summed up each episode at the end of the tag. Possibly the only action adventure series to ever end each episode with a trail prayer. Original Time Slot: Fridays @ 9:30PM Most used phrase (by Will Sonnett): No brag, just fact.
