Hec Ramsey: The Century Turns (1972) Universal

Pilot episode for "Hec Ramsey" The show stared Richard Boone as Hec Ramsey, a lawman in 1901. This show was way ahead of its time. Ramsey used a sort of primative version of forensics to solve crimes using finger prints, ballistics, and cement casts. Hec Ramsey was a western version of CSI. He was always way ahead of the young clean cut chief of police. This show only lasted 10 episodes and was cancelled by NBC in 1973. Hopefully the complete series comes out on DVD.
