Gunsmoke is like a classic Americana historical treasure...
Over the years, I've heard a lot of America haters (globalists, fascists, general enemies of the west) claim that America "has no culture"...
Well that's absolute BS. Not only is it rich with its own stand alone, unique brand of culture, but it's some of the coolest history around if you ask me. The "wild west" thing definitely doesn't appeal to everybody... but I guarantee that the people who are drawn to it feel it on a soul deep level.
It's like people fancying the notion that they had a past life in Egypt or as a Viking or any other historical culture/mythos that has been popularized. The fact is, increasingly as time moves on, the American old West will be legend in the same way. It's fairly new compared to ancient world history like Egypt, or the Norse, etc. But eventually, it'll receive just as much attention as they have.
Gunsmoke will be the holy grail. Think about it... what if film existed back in the ancient Egyptian era, and those materials had been preserved and were still viewable? How much deeper and intense would the fascination with that era have been in modern times? Imagine if people could SEE the historical figures we can only dream of... Tutankhamun, Cleopatra, heck, even Caesar.
Sure, Gunsmoke is just a fictional representation of the wild American west era... but if it's preserved properly and it continues to be made available, it will practically become the visual Bible of old west culture for people in the future who are attracted to that era and will live their lives romanticizing it.
