MeTV has reruns every weekday. Also Rawhide, Wanted-Dead or Alive, The Rifleman, Bonanza, Have Gun-Will Travel, and more. Great stuff for a guy who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s.
I was born in the early 70s. My grandmother loved this show so much I watched it almost daily until the mid 80s. This show was in reruns forever. Probably still is.
I saw Milburn Stone in an interview after his heart attack, when he told of how touching it was to get letters from GIs in Viet Nam, and how they said : "Doc, don't die !" These were guys in a war zone, worried about him.
If using that limp, was getting kind of old for Chester, they could have just had doctor Galen Adams, to do surgery and fix his leg, and then he wouldn't have been bothered with doing that the rest of his time, I guess nobody thought of it?!!!
When they mentioned Gilligan's Island, it would have been funny if they had coordinated it with that shot of Alan Hale Jr punching Matt in the stomach (6:08).
"Let"s get the F--k out of Dodge, was a common phrase when I was in High school during the late 70's. You didn't focus much on Ken Curtis, who was fantastic. He was a prominent singer in the group ' Sons of the Pioneers' who were "rock stars" in their day. I think he was my favorite. You didn't even mention Burt Reynolds.
I"m about the same age, and I used to watch the opening gun fight and always did a hard fall, like the guy shot on TV. I haven't done it since I was about twelve, and would probably break something now. (It did hurt a little doing that fall on a concrete floor, as part of a school skit).
Dr was too small to be a physical threat and Arness probably respected him for having the guts to call him out. How many smaller men would get in the face of a a 6'7" athletically built Arness.
My mother LOVED Gunsmoke when i was a kid,so I fail in LOVE too. LOL. Guess I'm gonna have to buy some seasonal dvd sets of Gunsmoke now.GOOD job on this retrospective review of this old classic tv show.
I've been a big fan of Gun smoke since the early 60s, but I never noticed Matt twirl his six shooter after making a shot like he did at 1:50. That was impressive.😊
Some of the scenes shown were from the Ray Milland movie "A Man Alone" (1955), a film in which he was both the star and director. It's a pretty good psychological western.
The Festus Hagen charcacter on Gun Smoke went to the various social events of small towns in the south and southwest to be the eemmcee at open air shows at carnivals etc. He was the town favorite. I wonder why James Arness didn't like him. SRM
Guess we will have to wait to find out who James Arness hated more than anyone.
I figured that 13 min. in and skipped the rest.
That happens frequently in these videos, though.
Yep
Who was it?

What a crock you never said a word about the problem between festus and Matt
It wasn't them, they were best friends.

60 s here ,gunsmoke ,rifle man ,petty coat junction , Bat .....GREATIST TIMES !
Every weekday at noon on MeTV
Ken's voice was his real talent as a member of Sons of the Pioneers.
Indeed.
Why is Rogan on the thumb nail
Ken Curtis was my favorite character..
The stories were good, but the actors were even better !
I grew up watching it when it was running and still watch it today..
I watched Gunsmoke since the early 70s but the best episodes was the early black and whites.
Milburn Stone was from Kansas and you can hear the accent . we love old Doc Adams.

I wasn't aware Charles Bronson could ACT intimidated.
I can still recall the sound effects
on the radio. They helped tell the story.
I remember James Arness once said, he wasn't going to take the part of Matt Dillon because he thought it would get in the way of his surfing.
My Mom's Dad bought me a tv so i could watch the Monkees & he could watch Gunmoke.
Peter Graves of Mission Impossible was James Arness real life brother

Thanks for that tip . Looking up Sons of the Pioneers now! ( I am one of GGG great grandsons of a couple of them in Oregon)
@@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists The one song that I remember was Cool Water, a really great song.
@BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists Roy Rodgers sang with them for awhile.
Original Deputy was Dennis Weaver
@@jesseortiz5938 That's right! Burt Reynolds was the town's blacksmith too.
20 year run 1955-1975. Facts bro.
I was born in 1950, and this was one of my favorite shows🥰.

I saw Shemp in that clip.

I even saw the Dirty Sally episode and spinoff. Gunsmoke was the reward for school on Monday.

I shour missed the old scutter doc and festis
Love old Doc. ❤
Why are you showing JOHN CARRIDINE as a vampire just randomly @ 11:46
Don't you remember the episode when Matt fought Dracula? : )
Peace & Life Everlasting with Jesus 💝
Pray for guidance and wait Patiently 💝
Writer Jim Burns went on to play Joe D. On The Highlander TV show.
At :52, that was JOHN WAYNE--not James Arness...
Actually, they weren't ever "dusty" .. they were spotlessly clean lol
Watching a rerun as I type this . . .
🏆Gunsmoke🏆was awesome really liked it in 🍀 black and white👀✌️
Thank heavens John Wayne did not get the part.

In the late b&w opening, Dillon's gun is not tied to his leg!
At least learn to say the names correctly
Not many people know james arness was a champion surfer...
Was Peter (Graves, his brother) also a surfer?
I trust my addition will bring depth and charisma to the comment section
This doc. Sucks
How does anyone know what was going on with the actors? Hell,theyve be dead for years
Y'all using Joe Rogan for clout. Just getting a better sounding voice over guy.
You know it's good if Rogan likes it.
Not all who tried to watch and listen to an episode in the series found it bearable.
Charles Bronson!
Save time avoid using more than 3 seconds on this one!!! This is garbage!
These people say just the opposite of all other docs. I’ve heard. Just full of S--!
Who who who???
Shes gotta Mustache
Give zero F's.
