Paradise is an American Western family television series, broadcast by CBS from October 27, 1988 to May 10, 1991. The series presents the adventures of fictitious gunfighter Ethan Allen Cord, whose sister left her four children in his custody when she died.
Canon Background
Paradise, set from 1890 and on,[1] follows Ethan Cord, a professional gunfighter who was forced to take custody of the four children of his sister, a St. Louis, Missouri singer who was dying and unable to make any other arrangements for their care. Cord realized his profession was unsuitable to child rearing and decided to change, renting a farm from Amelia Lawson, who also owned the local bank in the small town of Paradise, California (the origin of the title). Ethan tried to live a peaceful life, but was constantly haunted by his violent past and frequently called upon by the townspeople to defend them from lawlessness. Cord was close friends with John Taylor, a Native American medicine man, who often provided him with wise counsel and insights into human nature.
