"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

I loved that scene, lol.

She was so snotty too...

Turns out it wasn't for her, obviously, but...

Lol.

I mean, I would have given it to her.

Sexy thing.

I'll bet it was the switch from film to videotape.

The producers of M*A*S*H chose to use film instead of video for the TV series when it came out in the early 70s, to give it a classier look.

Well it was NOWHERE NEAR as bad as when the Twilight Zone filmed those random episodes with a "soap opera" kind of camera.

I can't remember what the technical term is for it, but it was absolutely horrible.

I dreaded those episodes. A few of them were good despite...

But wow, it was awful.

Twilizn and Gunsmoke are now my 2 favorite shows of all time, which is saying a lot.

Lastnight I was considering it, and I concluded that for the first part of my life, Twilight Zone is my #1 favorite show.

Now, for the second part of my life, Gunsmoke is my #1 favorite show.

So that way they are both #1.

I actually own the entire Twilight Zone (original) series on DVD too, I have owned that for a super long time.

I've owned M*A*S*H, Columbo, The Twilight Zone, and now Gunsmoke on DVD.

The only ones I have left now are Twilizn and Gunsmoke.

I think that is apropos. I guess there's no real reason to have to pick and choose top favorites...

And how could I ever leave out Columbo?? Regardless...

Gunsmoke and The Twilight Zone are my two number ones.

M*A*S*H has been one of my favorites for a long time. The early episodes show their age in a much nicer way than videotaped shows.

I haven't really ranked my favorites. All in the Family, Family Ties, VR.5, Star Trek, and Twin Peaks are high on the list. Firefly and the 2003 Battlestar Galactica reboot were very good.

[Mister Obvious]

All great shows. Carroll O'Connor is one of the greatest actors of all time.

S1 E38

When your mom from back east comes to Dodge looking for you - and you're in an unmarked grave on Boot Hill.

[user328]

Living on the prairie drove these people batshit. lol

[user328]

S1 E39

Season 1 finale. It can't be a cliffhanger because of the episodic nature of the show.

Kansas has a lot of mountains for being so flat. lol

[user328]

Another episode with Matt and Chester being the only regulars appearing.

I want my Kitty.

[user328]

S2 E1

Same intro and Boot Hill sequence as last season. The full cast is on deck.

Kitty is dressed as though she's been traveling. Matt and Chester act like they haven't seen her in awhile.

Doc punched a guy and got stabbed.

[user328]

That hairstyle makes her look older.

*wink, nod*

2:10 you and everybody else, mister.

2:35 uh oh, Chester's got a bug in his ear.

5:40 lmao! Uh oh, somebody better call that guy and warn him he's a'gonna git murdered! Oh wait.

6:12 it always blows my mind how they're gonna ride out to this guy's place, but the dude who's heading in the same direction is somehow not gonna see them and follow them.

8:00 damn they had to ride all that way just for that.

13:28 lmaolololol. Wow.

15:35 lmao these two are kind of endearing.

16:30 pretty sure I've never seen it raining on this show.

20:30 damn, Chester's got a nice ass!

20:40 I love how he just forces his way in with his big sexy body, that's so hot.

22:50 roflmfaolomfaomfoalaoflol.

Taking screencaps is one of my favorite parts of watching.

S3 E17 - "Joe Phy"

0:30 wow that's a unique looking horse.

0:55 Son. Of. A. Bitch.

2:08 the buildings were sooo pretty.

4:43 oh my, another marshal?! First I've ever heard of this!!!

4:52 lol oh, well that explains it. So he's IMPERSONATIN' a marshal!!!

6:00 lol he's got a star and everything... playing pretend. He looks convincing though.

7:07 it's funny cuz I was just asking the same thing the other day.

7:55 lol this guy's crazy as hell!!!

8:08 I meeean... it's kind of embarrassing though.

14:08 "I hang around in that saloon so I can forget all the men I killed. And sometimes I can't. Then I just gotta put my gun on and go lookin' for somebody else to kill."

17:38 I feel bad for the guy too, lmao. What the heck was he doing? I mean really?

18:27 pretty sure there are legitimate ways to go about being a lawman.

23:08 not like you can miss him on that speckled butt horse.

24:50 it's true, he was.

S2 E4

Kitty is wearing that 50s style dress again. I think this is the third time she's worn it.

[Mister Obvious]

S3 E18 - "Buffalo Man"

0:27 "A lawman's got a full time job out here that spans the whole field of human problems. One man came to me because his sister had stopped going to church. And just recently another complained that somebody had blown his neighbor's head off with a shotgun and left the rest lying on the road for the hawks to eat. That one I solved. But the girl is still spending her Sundays out picking berries. Sometimes I think I'd be better off clerkin' in a Philadelphia bank. But that's not the way it is. Matt Dillon, US Marshal."

2:00 Kitty lookin' finer than hell in this episode, God dang.

4:37 I can't tell whether that's a 12 year old girl or a 30 year old woman.

6:50 oh no man, that's not a good turn of events.

7:04 that backhand looked hella real in fact I'll bet you it was.

7:36 Marshal Dillon's hair is gorgeous. It looks curly.

7:55 they're playing with a deck of rider back Bikes... https://bicyclecards.com/article/the-fir...rd-company Those were first released in 1887.

9:00 the marshal looks extra sexy in this scene.

11:35 oh man they are BAD at making scenes with a 'defeated' or 'inhibited' Matt believable whatsofuckin'ever. They should NEVERRRRRR try this again. My God, what the fuck were they thinking??

15:00 getting abandoned by that assclown is the best thing that's ever happened to this chick.

19:23 "We're gonna get you a great job down at the Long Branch."

20:10 hell yeah she does... spending a few weeks in the saloon gettin' railed by them rowdy cowboys seasoned her up just right!!!

22:28 lmfao, oh you know you're in for a world of hurt whenever that gun belt comes off!!!!!!!!!

24:46 "I owe you some tail tonight down at the Long Branch, Marshal Dillon."

[Mister Obvious]

S3 E19 - "Kitty Caught"

Uh oh! Intriguing title!

1:18 this guy's crazy hot... sexy curly hair too.

2:45 "Makin' all those strange noises" roflmfaofalfolol.

3:40 "Oh it's big you know, it's real big." I bet it is... *nanarub*

6:20 it's called pheromones, cowboy.

18:20 you kiddin'? She's been workin' that ass her whole adult life, mister.

23:58 that's hot.

24:36 if I was Miss Kitty, I'd make it my life's aim and focus to provide Marshal Dillon with endless hours of pleasure.

[Mister Obvious]

S3 E20 - "Claustrophobia"

9:34 "Food always tastes better when somebody else cooks it, doesn't it?" I meeeean. Not really. There are some exceptions but... not really.

11:05 that's a real showy tune.

11:55 I dunno what the hell he's talking about, but it SOUNDS pretty deep.

12:40 well, I guess it's time to move to Dodge!

14:40 it'd be justice, those guys need killin'.

18:30 they could always just tie him up out back.

[Mister Obvious]

S3 E21 - "Ma Tennis"

0:32 "I've seen a lot of young men come west full of big hopes and dreams and then break themselves trying to work the land that often does nothing for 'em but twist their hearts and fill 'em with defeat and hatred and anger. A lot of 'em turn pretty mean as a result. But the meanest I ever ran into... was a woman. Matt Dillon, US Marshal."

1:20 oo la la, check out the guy in the middle... I'd suck his dick!

2:17 looks like they're using an era appropriate card deck right here. I always appreciate that.

3:45 I think this young guy and his brother are lookin' to get defiled by Miss Kitty tonight... *ohyeah*

5:15 this tard better not cause any trouble with this hotass cardslingin' feller. Some people are too sexy to mess with.

5:30 awe, well this guy's fucked. At least he wasn't the hot one.

5:52 honestly he better hope Marshal Dillon just ends his ass right now. I know I do.

6:16 gah... man. Matt steals every scene and episode as soon as he appears. Other people may be hot, but they're not James Arness.

6:30 season 3 and card dealers remain the most endangered people in this show. Lmfao.

7:20 heck I believe it... Andy learned that hotheaded behavior somewhere.

8:04 somebody just hang this guy... get it over with, he's a waste of film.

8:55 well... I hope Marshal Dillon starts getting over his rule of not killing women. According to the kill count, he ended up killing a handful and I hope she's one of them.

10:20 TBH, I'd respect him more if he killed her.

11:15 ah come on, he's a bitchboy and it's that simple.

20:55 I love the way this scene was filmed.

24:36 well she didn't exactly have to watch.

[Mister Obvious]

S3 E22 - "Sunday Supplement"

1:40 damn out of towners.

2:17 that's one hotass dirty lookin' cowboy right there.

3:45 he totally should kill him.

6:50 lmao Marshal Dillon ain't a fan. Can't say I blame him.

7:46 sometimes Kitty's judgement just really isn't great.

12:50 some shitty writers if they can't even come up with a story just by being there.

13:20 Matt's looking back over his shoulder at Kitty thinking maybe he needs to find a new saloon bitch, lmao.

14:55 oh this is hot... this is what should have been happening all along. More, I want more!

22:35 man they're really good at making you hate the shit out of some of these characters.

25:05 that guy looks like he's done a lot of horse riding IRL.
