"The Slowest Gun in the West" was a pilot for a TV series that wasn't picked up by the networks. After seeing it, I could easily see why...it was terrible.
The town of Primrose is filled with evil gunmen and a nasty boss (Bruce Cabot). However, the townsfolk want the place to be a nice place to live and keep hiring sheriff after sheriff--and they get killed one after another. One day, an abject coward, The Silver Dollar Kid (Phil Silvers) comes into town and the townsfolk get an idea--hire this annoying guy because he's such a coward that the gunmen won't kill him because they don't want to be known as the guy who murdered a totally yellow guy(?). And, using lots of anachronistic and annoying ways, the new sheriff brings peace to the land.
The show has three huge problems. The biggest is the ever-present and annoying laugh track. The other is that while this idea MIGHT have worked, it certainly wasn't enough to support a series. Additionally, Silvers and his shtick was 100% annoying and became grating as the show progressed. Overall, a rather dopey idea that just didn't work.
