Destry is a Western television series starring John Gavin that originally aired on ABC from February 14 until May 8, 1964.

In the original films the main character is Tom Destry, a Western lawman who is expert with a gun but still prefers to use non-violent means to settle problems with outlaws.

In the television series John Gavin portrays Harrison Destry, son of Tom, who had been a lawman until he was framed for a crime and jailed.

As in the earlier feature films, many comedic situations arise as Destry goes to great lengths to avoid violence whenever troubles confront him.

In a 1963 interview, Gavin described the character's personality and reflected on the role's importance within the context of his acting career: When I came to Universal, they were making 40 pictures a year.
