As much as I would love to see a new HGWT series, there have been several series that play up similar themes. I mention in another posting "Burn Notice" where a fired spy uses his expertise to help people being threatened by criminals, powerful politicians, or just evil bad guys. A decade ago "The Equalizer" was about a former spy who actually runs advertisements in the newspaper to publicize his services to help people needing assistance against bad guys. The original story even for HGWT had Paladin based in New York City in modern times responding to requests for help. It was only the craze for westerns in the late 50s that had CBS officials force the creators Meadows and Rolfe to change the plot line to the 1870s in San Francisco. Replies:
