Have Gun, Will Travel
The one that went backwards: a television western turned into radio drama.
By 1958 the direction of travel was so settled that this series is genuinely startling: CBS took a successful television western and made a radio version of it, with John Dehner instead of Richard Boone, running the two in parallel for two years. It is the last significant American dramatic series created for radio, it is very good, and it exists because a network still believed — correctly, for another eighteen months — that there was an audience listening.
