"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E29 - "Fawn"

5:40 lmao I love how nonchalant he is about gunning down the bad guys.

10:50 well I mean no shit, as if that's news to us or something.

16:25 I definitely ship these two.

18:38 oh whatever, her husband's moved on well and good by now.

19:20 oh, fuck this guy.

19:36 lmao both Chester and Matt are giving him that "yuuup, he's screwed" look rofl.

20:56 I'd tell him to go fuck himself right then and there. He's been replaced.

21:40 "I'll divorce you first."

21:48 a real man... that's who.

22:00 lmao I love it when he shoves people.

You know, if I had been a horny housewife back in the day, I'd be sending a bunch of depraved fan letters in to this show, roflmfaolol!

23:47 "Okay, I'll marry you." *curtains, exit stage left*

24:25 my panties just melted. Lil misty eyed too.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E30 - "Renegade White"

8:17 there's my sexy stagecoach driver again.

20:50 I like this actor... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Pate

25:30 I'm glad they've never changed this bitchin' ending theme song.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E31 - "Murder Warrant"

7:00 I dunno, saloon girl life seems pretty fun... cuddlin' up on all those cowboys.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E32 - "Change of Heart"

What's next, a total eclipse?? *dancing banana*

0:22 ooo, this scene is pretty sexy. Scandalous fishnet stockings again.

0:33 this is a foxy new saloon girl right here.

1:00 damn, this is practically a "Rated R" conversation.

5:45 lmao.

10:40 that's a bitchin' choker.

11:36 damn she's a hottie.

12:20 I love that there are hardly any kissing scenes on this show, let alone the gross sex scenes you see in shows these days.

15:30 definitely don't give it up.

17:08 I'm just trying to imagine what it'd feel like to be up against Marshal Dillon's naked body. It'd be helpful if they at least showed him shirtless every now and then.

23:46 oh man they gotta stop it with these fast closeups.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E33 - "Buffalo Hunter"

3:28 nice shirt, asshole. *eye roll*

6:26 wonder who that picture is of.

11:03 I'd eat some buffalo tongue, why not!

15:36 if this guy who doth protest too much stays behind like an idiot, he'll get killed for sure.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E34 - "The Choice"

0:50 well that was awkward. Who the hell was that guy?

12:06 there sure is a whole lot of pointless fighting going on in this episode lmao.

15:40 does Chester not know any other songs?!!????!!!?!?!

19:00 only if I can ride in your lap, baby!!!

19:38 I've got something Jim can get "all in" to!!!

20:46 honestly, if he said yes, I'd totally go for it.

24:16 wavy camera/image on this episode sometimes.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E35 - "There Never Was a Horse"

1:18 I love the evil looking angry guys!

3:17 lmfao @ that shakyass gun. Somebody deck this drunktard.

3:36 I think rather than ever face off, Kin and Matt should just become good friends.

4:20 roflmao I love his "Mmhmm." He does it so perfectly, every single time.

8:03 I dunno, I think Creed's just lonely.

19:54 I want Marshal Dillon to smack my titties and call me stupid.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E36 - "Print Asper"

I'm gonna be 100% honest that I was not paying attention to this episode for a single second!

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E37 - "The Constable"

7:29 lol this "Mmhmm" is like his new catchphrase.

10:46 this guy's about a doof.

11:55 "Yeah, come on. You're still pretty." Roflmfaomfaofmafaflolol.

17:40 just the mere idea of beer makes me want to hurl.

18:10 God there are sooo many rowdy fuckers in this episode.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E38 - "Blue Horse"

0:40 another recycled (verbatim) Boot Hill opener.

1:35 who is this asshole?

2:08 damn right he ain't worth it.

7:00 this is the second time in recent episodes that Matt has gotten injured and lost his horse.

7:05 the camera zooms they've been using lately are sorta... well, they just betray the fact that this kinda camera work was pretty new with TV shows in those days. It's not "bad" per se, it just changes the atmosphere. It would have been fine if they'd shown this scene without any zooming. In a sense it lends a more realistic "observer" type of sense to scenes, rather than making them "dramatic" with the zooming. But it's fine... I am not gonna fault them for it.

7:57 "That was a good horse." God I love this show.

8:30 I'd loooove to be Marshal Dillon's helper.

13:25 pays to be likable. Lol.

14:20 she's pretty.

15:00 I know he's not doing too hot right now, but he still looks sexy as hell.

[Mister Obvious]

S4 E39 - "Cheyennes"

0:28 "Boot Hill. This is the graveyard of the violent ones. Men killed by their own kind. Whites killed by whites. Lot of men are buried here, but a lot more men -- hundreds more -- lie in unmarked graves scattered all over the prairie. They -- the unknown, the forgotten -- were killed by red men, and they were killed because they brought violence to the Indian. And the Indian, as any honorable man would, struck back. And I for one never blamed him. Matt Dillon, US Marshal."

5:05 "You don't look like a marshal to me." Oooookay.

That does it for season 4!!!

[Mister Obvious]

S5 E1 - "Target"

0:30 this guy looks familiar... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Carradine Aha. David Carradine's dad. You can really see the resemblance.

1:43 "namby pamby" lolol.

5:45 isn't that the same hotass chick from a few episodes back?? ... Hmm, nah it's not her. Sure looks like her though. She's playing a gypsy.

7:22 "Don't turn your back on 'em, Chester." lol.

8:06 lol guy's got a monkey. EVERYBODY'S GOT SOMETHIN' TO HIDE, 'CEPT FOR ME AND MY MONKEY.

9:10 why do they have the gypsies talking the same way their Native American characters talk? Lmao.

10:07 "We do not allow our women to see men outside the family!"

10:30 "But I'm too sexy to stay with them!"

13:55 Kitty lookin' finer than hell.

14:02 I looooove stale bread.

16:17 I don't doubt she is.

[Mister Obvious]

S5 E2 - "Kitty's Injury"

Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that title!

0:23 the aggressive volume fadeout on the rushed opening credits version is hilarious.

1:24 lmfaolololol.

2:24 "Doc. Yer brain is TWISTET. It's twistet." loooolllrreerererleorelrol.

2:55 THEY DIDN'T FUCKING BRING WATER?!??!?!?!?!?!?! I'd thirst to death at the MERE THOUGHT of leaving to go ANYWHERE without water, lmao!!!!!!!

3:20 I literally rewound and I still don't understand what the fuck happened, lmao. Did it bite her horse?? Did it bite her? Did she just hit her head? Like what the eff happened??

4:00 oh come on, ain't nobody gonna turn away a pretty, sweaty, unconscious gingerbritches.

5:19 lmao you TELL'EM sister!!! Lol, she may be an older chick, but I like her personality and it makes her attractive.

6:06 mmm, fuck yeah baby, caress that throat.

6:32 more moaning, more.

6:58 mmm, she looks sexy as fuck except for the blood.

7:02 lol I meeeean... that'd be a scary as hell sight to wake up to, but I bet she sees that look on a drunk randy cowboy's face every night of her life at the saloon, so the only difference is the setting.

7:09 [hot sexy whimpering]

7:12 lmao @ the confused look on this guy's face, he's like uhhh, somebody gonna come and do something?

7:48 DUDE. WHY do I love this lady so much, lmao!?!?!?! She looks familiar too, wonder who she is?? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Seymour_(actress) I don't recognize her name. Ahhh! She was in "Pollyanna" (1960) with my beloved Hayley Mills! Here's a scene that shows her too, my favorite scene from the movie... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7kA2idaLCo She's at 0:43. This is the clip I always link to though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpUBKw6i538 DEATH. COMES. UNEXPECTEDLY!!!!!!!!!! Roflmfao, classic.

8:08 "But. Kitty. They haven't invented telephones yet?!"

8:30 sounds like a solid plan.

9:00 I mean to be fucking honest... that fucking kid definitely needs to be the one to go, Kitty recognizes that rapey look in his eyes!!! He's so not hot. Unacceptable.

10:07 well, it's honestly kinda sad.

10:20 well you fucking better, son.

10:56 I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WTF HAPPENED TO HER, LMAO!?!?!?

15:35 lmao what a fricken psycho. I didn't foresee this?!

16:00 man, Matt's gonna straight up kill this guy for sure.

17:08 damn sonny, I mean if you just head out to Dodge City some fine night with a little coin in your pocket, you can have a saloon girl anytime you want. Maybe even Miss Kitty herself!

18:20 I knew I liked her.

21:18 she's damn right about that.

21:58 more like in his pants, but yeah.

[Mister Obvious]

S5 E3 - "Horse Deal"

9:00 look at her, riding side saddle. I love it when she lets her hair down a little bit.

9:10 these two are in their Sunday best. Real fine looking together.

9:42 small world, lmao.

13:55 "If you run outta money, let me know." OoooOoOoOooo, Daddy Matt!!!!!!!!! TzZzAAADDDYYYY!!!!!

14:17 roflmfao.

20:56 like what? A strategic genius?!?! Why yes, he is!!!

23:00 predictable though.

24:30 okay that zoom in was just bad. I can't make any excuses for it. Lmao. Lmaooooo.

[Mister Obvious]

S5 E4 - "Johnny Red"

0:22 ooo, they got 'em some fancy new font for the title sequence!

0:44 hot damn, we get to see Miss Kitty with FISHNET STOCKINGS *AND* those sexy strappy numbers she always wears!!!

2:20 I love how everybody usually looks sweaty on this show.

2:50 OMG I have shotglasses that look like that!!!!!!!!! Those are a little bigger than mine but they look similar.

3:30 sooooo... who is that guy then??!

[Mister Obvious]

Alright I found another discrepancy with the DVD box set...

S5 E5 is supposed to be "Tail To The Wind" but on the DVDs it has "Kangaroo" (S5 E7) in the position instead.

I made it about 10 minutes into the episode before I realized this.

I will have to watch them in proper order tomorrow.

[Mister Obvious]

Google has every episode in every season in order... of course I dunno where they get that info, but each episode is dated and everything, so that's what I go by. Considering the earlier duplicate episode mixup, I am guessing it's the box sex that is out of order. It's not a big deal, if the episodes really are just mixed up and not duplicated again. I'll find out when I watch them tomorrow.

Watching S7 on Pluto TV and noticed they transposed ep7 "The Squaw" and ep9 "Milly"--hitting play on one gets you the other. The one they call "The Squaw" comes up first and is about a girl named Milly throwing herself at a lineup of increasingly awful bachelors, then the one they call "Milly" is about an old guy marrying a hot Indian girl more his son's age...turns out poorly.
So along with ads and QR codes for Ukraine donations, Pluto also has mismatched titles...and I saw on the first page here the episode referred to as Milly turns out to be The Squaw, as you were apparently watching on Pluto at the time.
Hate to be pedantic, just saying for the record-- so if Pat Sajak or some other crazy fan finds this epic thread and has a problem it was Pluto's fault!

[Mister Obvious]

You're right... this will have to be set straight when I come across the episodes as I work through the seasons.

Typically when I'm watching an episode, I have the episode details open on a browser tab, and I look over the cast list.

If the actors/characters in that episode cast list don't match up with the episode I'm actually watching, then I know there's a problem.

It's pretty fascinating that there are any mixups at all.

Like yeah I get that Gunsmoke is one of the most prolific shows of all time, but I feel like I could definitely check every episode and make it totally 100% accurate on the DVD box set, it's not that hard.

Tedious and time consuming, sure. Totally lacking in excitement on every level IF you're NOT a Gunsmoke fan, sure. But... for anyone who is a true Gunsmoke devotee, it would be an honor to check each and every episode to verify they're all there and they're all in order, etc.

And I mean...

When we're talking about a selection of episodes as limited as these online streaming platforms have (Paramount, Pluto TV, etc.), it should be especially easy and especially important to get those listings right.
