Yeah, they're on Season 1.

If it's a Fix fix you're after, they play two episodes of The Rifleman six days a week, plus AMC's Saturday morning block of varying length.
 
It's easy to imagine Boyce's scene with Pike as something being said by McCoy, right down to the bartender actions and references.
With the possible exception of the choice of libation: "Who wants a warm mint julep?" :)
Mint juleps take too long to prepare. McCoy probably just kept a bottle of bourbon in the bottom drawer for when he needed a quick shot.
 
...Plus, since GR wasn't the writer of the show, he couldn't input as much about the doctor as he could before, when it was more his baby.
That idea doesn't hold water. Gene was the Producer and if he wanted the doctor written differently he could have told Peeples to do so, or gone in and tweaked it himself, as he would do many times when the show hit the air.
