"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

S1 E10 -  "The Queue"

Wow the title of this episode is so apropos for my situation tonight! I've been wanting to finally watch the show but there were so many things that came first! Gunsmoke is so very magical.

0:16 my favorite part of the opening (aside from Marshal Matt Dillon's fine posterior) is the announcer saying "GUNSMOKE"... I absolutely love it. I like to put on my deepest voice and randomly say it every now and then. But I do prefer the way it's said in later seasons... it seems like a deeper voice or a different announcer.

0:23 OMG he's at Boot Hill again... I squealed in glee!!! God bless season one. I know eventually they stop doing this at the beginning. They couldn't have carried on opening the show that way for 20 years. I'm going to savor these Boot Hill intros... they hold a very special place in my heart. Part of me wonders if these legendary Boot Hill openers have ever been parodied, like SNL style. ROFL. I would love to do this. I absolutely would love to do it. Maybe I should build a Boot Hill replica in my back yard... *dancing banana*

0:35 God dang... look at the way he grabs that holster and just works it around all good in the front. My God. I had no idea... I had noooooo idea James Arness was that fine. I mean, yeah, I've seen him throughout the years. Sure I have. But I just never knew, baby. I just never knew... https://i.imgur.com/Q1IE2aU.png *lustful moan*

0:49 "Down there in Dodge... down among the randy, hard-living citizens," HOW DID HE KNOW I WAS RANDY!?! *nanarub*

2:48 Overland Express... what a simple yet dreamy name for a coach company.

3:10 hey I'm pretty sure he's Japanese, bro.

4:25 and this is the story of the very first Chinese restaurant ever opened on Main St., America! God bless! I need me some of that chicken lo mein. And some broccoli chicken!

8:00 wow, what the hell is that, a wild west slot machine?!!?!?!?!?!?1? Whoa check it out: https://imgur.com/a/KkbBA6A That's so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:20 so I guess one of the morals of this episode is that people who are all religious and stuff are basically hypocrites.

11:50 whatever, that's deception and nothing good comes of it. If he talked normally like that, people would respect him. He sounds like a doctor or some shit. I dunno where they're coming from with this!

12:18 ah, how interesting... so the "queue" is a word for the ponytail and the meaning behind it is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(hairstyle) See, this show is educational for me. I had never heard of this before. I gain a lot from watching Gunsmoke. It's more than just enjoyment and entertainment... it's teaching me things.

14:20 oooOooOooo, that was damn near dirty talk right there, Marshal Dillon!!!

17:00 the religitard did it... duh.

17:30 I LOOOOOVE the way Marshal Dillon's eyes scan whoever he's talking to when he gets up in their face. It's especially enjoyable the more lines he's got. I'm gonna point out good examples of this from now on... it's absolutely delicious.

21:30 I meeeean, now might be a good time for Chen to drop the fucking facade and speak normally. It would change the entire dynamic and freak this drunk moron the fuck out, lmao. I gotta say, this episode isn't great. It's good but it's not great. It makes sense that it wouldn't be because it's a bit propagandistic. Back in the day I supposed they still had to make their illuminati deals and sacrifice an episode here and there for the sake of their crossroads agreement. The bright side is that being a vintage television show, it's far less offensive than any of this kinda crap would be today. So all in all, I am not that bothered by it.

22:56 God I love all the sweatiness in this show.

23:20 "You've got to live as an American, not as a Chinese." OHHH DAAAAMMMNNN, see. The societal degradation wasn't so bad back then... it wasn't so far gone and cancerous yet. The propaganda was there, but they still hadn't let go of every single last patriotic value. I think even after I get done watching Gunsmoke 10 years from now (lol) I am still just going to watch super old TV shows exclusively. I'm so tired of propaganda and nasty vile shit on movies and TV these days.

23:30 God this is so sexy.
