- TriviaThe title refers to the American western outlaw Billy the Kid also known as Henry McCarty (birth name) and William H. Bonney. After his participation in the Lincoln County New Mexico range wars in 1877, he traveled through Texas earning a reputation as a gambler, outlaw and gun slinger. He was eventually caught by Pat Garrett, who later killed him after an escape from jail. Billy the Kid did not gain notoriety until after his death when his story was told in a sensationalist biography.

Even Cowboys Get the Blues
Dick has writer's block and keeps getting distracted. He has a favorite book that is a distraction. It's about what it is to be a cowboy. Soon he returns to his boyhood dream of being such a cowboy. After some pretty funny stuff, he hooks up with a ranch in the West, ready to ride and rope and roll his own cigarettes. But when he gets there, there are no horses, only a Toyota. Instead of poker night, they watch movies on the VCR. Dick plays straight man, using western jargon to talk with his bunkmates. This is one of the cleverest of the Newhart shoes. As a B plot, we have Larry, Darryl, and Darryl bringing back their "anything for a buck" thing. So Stephanie hires them to do all her work, with hilarious results. Don't miss this one.
