    It’s so good to find this old footage. It’s also sad. No longer with us but have entertained millions with their humor and charm on Gunsmoke. It’s a era of tv that we will never see again. Replaced by whatever todays entertainment is. I’ll continue to watch the shows from years ago. When tv was entertaining.❤

    Their interplay was tremendous. At 63, I’ve just recently started watching the show. I don’t watch much TV other than older shows, and Doc and Festus have quickly become two of my favorite characters.

    I sat on Ken Curtis's lap as a boy @ the "Pendleton Round Up". I also met Lynn Anderson, a country singer on top in the 60's. Genuine down to earth welcome and impressed me to work hard in school and life.

    These were Two Great Actors that played off of each other really well. I never got too see Milburn Stone in person or in many other Show's besides Gunsmoke. But I was treated too Ken Curtis's Solo performance Singing & doing a Variety Act at The Western Canadian Rodeo in Edmonton Alberta Canada in the Early 1970s with my Family. Mr Curtis came out into the Arena dressed as Festus, & then immediately gave us an apology that Ruth His Mule couldn't be there that Night? He then told us that Her Plane had been Hijacked too Cuba? So then there were Two Jackass's in that Country, instead of just the One 😮😮😮🎉🎉. Boy could that Son of a Gun Sing like an Angel 😇😇😇. TKS.

    Wow! Trip down Memory Lane. We watched those guys and the whole show each week on "Gunsmoke" for many years. My sister and I used to stand up and "draw" with Marshall Dillon each week at the Introduction of the show and shoot the "Bad guy". For years they were on Saturday nights. Watched it after "The Lawrence Welk Show". Then the network moved the program to Monday nights.
    Milburn Stone (aka: "Doc") did a good job acting / sounding like a TV Reporter/Interviewer. Ken Curtiss was a good singer and could play a guitar also. {He sang in the movies "Rio Grande" (with 'The Sons of The Pioneers" outside the Commander's tent and in "The Searchers".
