"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

32:15 is that a Raggedy Ann doll?? When was she invented?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raggedy_Ann This says the doll wasn't patented until 1915. Maybe some of Raggedy Ann's features were common on dolls before that point. If not, they were off like 40 years with this one.

So it occurred to me last night that this was likely product placement... in fact, I think it was the first instance of any type of product placement in the show as it pertains to a modern product/brand.

There was a boom of Raggedy Ann popularity in the 1960s, so it perfectly lines up. I will take note of any product placement I see in future episodes.
