''[[Wanted: Dead or Alive]]'' is an American Western television series starring [[Steve McQueen]] as the bounty hunter Josh Randall. It aired on CBS for three seasons from 1958-1961. The black-and-white program was a spin-off of a March 1958 episode of ''[[Series/Trackdown|Trackdown]]'', a 1957-1959 western series featuring Robert Culp as a Texas Ranger named Hoby Gilman.
 
McQueen's character of Josh Randall is a [[The American Civil War|Confederate veteran]] and bounty hunter with a soft heart. He often donates his earnings to the needy and helps his prisoners if they have been wrongly accused. Randall carries a shortened Winchester Model 1892 carbine, called the "Mare's Leg", in a holster patterned after "gunslinger" rigs then popular in movies and television.
