"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
S13 E2 - "Cattle Barons"

1:07 this guy reminds me of Burton Gilliam from Blazing Saddles.

2:30 Robert J. Wilke is crazy hot. He was on Gunsmoke a total of 7 times and this is his last appearance.

4:40 who ISN'T "old friends" with Matt Dillon??

4:43 they've started giving each episode its own title screen... that's pretty cool. Wonder if they're gonna keep that up for the rest of the show? Pretty font... bright white with a touch of orangey red over it, I think they used this gorgeous warm filter on all the footage.

6:26 so Festus rides into town guns blazing for his first appearance in the season. That kinda behavior is totally out of character.

7:55 "When two men want the same thing, somebody's gonna lose."

9:00 this scene with the kid gunfighter is pretty cute, I love the way the marshal steps up to handle the situation and treats him just like he would anybody else.

10:58 Festus has a gorgeous bronze glow going on, I think it's partly natural tan and partly makeup... they've always gotta keep him a lil dirty.

11:02 looks like they haven't dyed Matt's hair lately, I think they're hiding it with a hat. You can tell James Arness's real hair color was trying to peak out under there. His eyebrows are really light and so is his hair.

11:17 "Price of beef's sky high," I'm telling you, nothing ever really changes!!!

12:18 what the heck are those guys up to?? Did I miss something?? Have I lost the plot already?? LOL!!!!!!

12:50 his hair and brows are now darkened/defined in this scene.

16:16 Festus is so unique and legit, every move he makes is just perfection. He's smiling and laughing a lot in this episode which is kind of rare.

16:42 look how sexy he is in those pants... so hot.

17:50 everything seems fine in this episode... there's no super weird, hella intense shit going on. All the characters seem normal, none of them are being freaky or intimidating. This feels like an episode from the black and white era.

18:28 I'd like to sit heavy on YOU!!! *dancing banana*

19:27 that fake dust effect though, lol.

19:40 Ken Curtis has an amazing smile and it makes him very attractive... I think that's why they waited for a while to show that side of Festus. Maybe he had to practice smiling/laughing until it seemed right.

19:45 Kitty's got a nice new dress, sort of a tan/olive green chevron print... it's a very unique piece.

24:20 "You just give me a reason. I'd like one, mister." Roflmfao hell yes, classic. He just told those guys to get the hell outta Dodge!!!

27:28 "Wait?! My aunt Phoebe's tea cozy!" rolfmfaoalolo.

27:40 well hell yeah it's a raw deal bro, this guy's gonna get killed for sure and I feel like nobody's gonna care.

28:34 "Right now, I'd sell you both for a bag of salt." He's right... guys like this are obsolete, it's an old guard way of thinking.

28:46 those beans look like splattercake city, but I bet they'd be good with some bread!!!

32:00 boy... all these fellers are in a fix, aren't they?!

33:36 Marshal lost the hat... his hair looks gorgeous, almost has a nice hint of copper to it.

34:50 did I just hear a dog barking in the distance??

42:55 first time I've ever seen cowboys cheerleading.

43:30 now it's broken out into a huge brawl. Damn, it looks like Ken Curtis could really kick some ass!!!

43:50 Doc is gonna have a lot of work to do tonight.

44:38 they're double-deckin' cowboys into this coffin with bitchin' lavender purple interior!!!!

It was a nice, normal episode. It wasn't too intense, there was no freaky shit going on... it was just your typical classic Gunsmoke episode.
