I am 77 years old, I watched gunsmoke growing up all the time and I still watch it today. I love it.
I want to see Matt love affair more often
😊😊
I watch it every time I’m with my mom. That and The Andy Griffith show have made me at age 45 fall in love with this era. One of the greatest TV shows ever in any genre
@@user-jr4mo2td7wJames Arness answered why we never saw him and Kitty kiss.
We love every gun smoke episode. James was so good and the very kind person he portrayed. Bless him for his dedication to Gunsmoke.
Couldn't agree more! James Arness was truly an icon and his portrayal of Matt Dillon was legendary. His dedication to the show was remarkable.
What's your favorite Gunsmoke episode?
I knew him well, not a hateful bone in his body.Loved his family and friends and anyone who was his friend.
One of the Best Westerns ❤!!!!
Totally agree. Thanks for watching
James Arness never hated any one his life that is wrong to say that. He liked everyone this is the kind of Man he was...
The main thrust of the 'narrative' of some of these chit-chat shows is just sensationalised to get our attention. If the creator of this series had a better mind, and an affinity with truth, we might have seen a better show.
I can still remember the thrill of hearing the tune of Gunsmoke signaling a joint family gathering in the living room, way too many of us not finding a place on the couch, sitting on the floor, us little ones. The series was as a friend who came to visit us..and sure James Arness and all the steadfast characters were so familliar, bringing back memories as old as half a century!! One of the greatest tv-shows of that era!!
I agree on that 100%!!!
James Arness. couldn't hate anyone he's A kind man with a .big soul IL love watching Gunsmoke when I. was teenager and I still do I'm now .65 James Arness is a great I truly miss him what a wonderful man RIP
James Arness was a legend! I have fond memories of watching Gunsmoke too. Do you have a favorite episode?
James Arness is the best actor an kitty too an Chester too all.great actors.
Thank you!
Always someone besmirching a character we loved to watch growing up and still watching now.
Thanks for leaving a comment.
My Mother Loved this show, even when it was on the radio
Your mother must really like these programs
My family loves gun Smoke, we still watch gun smoke those were good Olds days. Why they wouldn't let Matt, Festus, Kitty and Doc get married.

James Arness is a wonderful man and actor and could hate nobody. Gunsmoke is No.1.
It's true, he had such a kind presence on screen. Gunsmoke is a true classic, and his performance is a big reason why.

A GREAT show like Gun Smoke deserves real human narration, not horrible freakin AI narration!
Completely agree
James Arness was a great person who was reported to have been incapable of hate.
Totally agree. Thanks for watching
I loved this show I watched it every time it came on❤
The part of Marshall Dillion was first offered to John Wayne and he turned it down and it was Wayne who recommended Arness for the part
Arness did say he was "embarrassed" when he did the scifi classic "The Thing". But you hardly see him in that anyway. A few years later he played a very good part in another scifi classic Them! In that he plays a very sympathetic and tough FBI agent and he's outstanding, sharing the screen with James Whitmore and Edmund Gwen and more than holds his own with those 2 great actors. He even has a brief scene with a pre-Davy Crockett Fess Parker! What stands out is at the end of the scene the 6 foot 5 inch Fess actually looks UP at the 6 foot 7 inch Arness! Doubt that happened to Fess very often! LOL.
Thank you!
I'm retired and watch reruns of Gunsmoke almost every day. My favorite performance of James Arness is in "How the West Was Won".
Thanks for watching our video and leaving a comment.
Did you know that John Wayne was the one who convinced James Arness to take the role of Matt Dillon? He thought Arness would be perfect for it.

The comedy between Doc and Festus was the best part of the show,for me.
Totally agree. Thanks for watching
"wail, I don't know nuthin' 'bout that , Matthew......... It's just a dad- burn shame that me an' uh Doc hafta fight like that........ we don' mean nuthin' by it - iss jus' the way it izz......."
I did read a comment from Amanda Blake in a book with quotes from stars on their co-stars. She revealed that Arness "could be a bully, wants everything his way. He's not someone I'd care to spend a lot of time with." Ouch! Not sure how accurate that quote was. All indications are that Arness and the rest of the cast got along. Arness was a staunch republican and I know Dennis Weaver was a democrat but I've read that they got along very well. And Burt Reynolds, in his last autobiography, spoke so well of Arness. Burt had a very bad experience co-starring in a western tv show with Darren McGavin, saying Darren hogged the spotlight, didn't want Burt to have any good scenes (sounds like William Shatner!). Burt wound up quitting the show. About 3 years later he got the part on Gunsmoke and he said Arness always pushed the writers to have episodes that centered around Doc, then Kitty, then Festus, and finally Quint, Burt's character. He said Arness taught him that not all "stars" of TV shows want every episode to center around them.
Thank you!
They say they were like family and Amanda like spending a lot of time on the set.maybe when playing a scene he was a Bully not sure what to believe
@@deborahturner1945 From what I've read I think he was a bully in the sense that he refused to give interviews and have reporters on the set. He was a very private person and hated publicity. The TV Guide reporter said he called Peter Graves, Arness's brother, and asked if he would talk about James. Graves was known as much more willing to grant interviews but even he said, laughing, "Sure, just have Jim call me to agree to it." The article confirmed that Arness at times would order reporters off the set. That's likely what Amanda was talking about. Even Burt Reynolds, who had only great things to say about Arness, admitted "I didn't get real close to him because he doesn't let anyone get close to him.". Reynolds was half-joking when he said it. But Burt also said Arness never played the "star" on the show and it's pretty clear the set was a happy one for the most part.
That don't make him a bully.not wanting interviews.it is his privilege..maybe Amanda brought that lion on the set.hsd a change of heart..but buck said very humble man..doc the un hypocrite he seen..burt said never saw changes as someone who thought they were better than anyone else..I just don't buy into everything people say.when trying to sell something... it's ok.though!! Well he was a boss..
Did the robot write this thing as well as narrate it? James Arness was one of the nicest men in Hollywood and a great actor.
click bait, he never hated anyone. Great Actor.
I Love this show.9
Thank you so much!
Jim sailed in Marina del Rey and we sailed together and sometimes on opposite sides....He was always joking, with a big grin at the yacht club with Peggy Salter and a host of friends. But when he was on the water he was ALL BUSINESS and a hell of a sailor. I had a column the Mariner Magazine at the time. RIP Jim....They don't make 'em like you these days. Be seein' you soon...
Have you ever noticed that the people they talk about are dead and gone cannot answer their accusers
James Arness, heavily made-up, portrayed a monster in a sci-fi movie.
Ken Curtis is unrecognizable in retrospect as a conniving, cowardly (and ultimately eaten) character in the sci-fi movie “The Killer Shrews” (if I remember the title correctly). It also starred James Best, if that name rings a bell, and is a quite campy, yet surprisingly scary film! Every time I watch it I try to picture Ken Curtis’ role as if he was acting as Festus Hagen!!
He played the monster in the Original movie The Thing.
To tell lies on someone that is passed shows disrespect
Nice 👍 show
Lovely bit of nostalgia for my generation, well done! The very fleeting reference to Dennis (Chester) Weaver was a little unfair though, as he was also a very significant staple. Happily he later became "McCloud", of course.
Yes, it's great that we sit here together and look back at the memories. Thank you for your feedback, it will help our team improve in the future!
I think that in every movie or TV show that there's a love or hate relationship that's what makes a good show
Thanks for leaving your perspective, it's a very good perspective
Nice show ❤

Whoever did the voiceover for this sounds like AI. Just calling it like I see it (or hear it). Also, James Arness never hated anyone. I’ve never heard any actor he worked with say one bad thing about him
I think if I got to play Matt Dillon I’d be be pretty damned dedicated myself.
Comment 9 i love this video with the ❤👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
Outrageous th el y got rid of Chester and replaced him with that man!!!
Who was James Arness supposed to hate?
I like him ,his acting
Thank you. All the best for you.
What a horrible title! I love Gunsmoke and my grandpa loved it too! Watch it all the time! Too many great shows to pick a favorite but I do really like "I Call Him Wonder."
Never did say who he hated...or maybe I fast forwarded past that?
some folks love to clickbait
I didn't ff, but listened to it twice without hearing Arness hate for anyone.
MISLEADING TITLE... bot the content is alright
Thank you
Did you know there was an inference made to homosexuality in a ‘Gunsmoke’ episode that first aired on November 28, 1964? A question was posed by Mat Dillon to a farmer. The context of the question, by the way, was misconstrued by the person whom Dillon asked. Nonetheless, the inference to homosexuality was as follows:
“I’m looking for man.” - Matt Dillon
“That makes all the difference. I’ve been looking for a woman for the past 30 years” - The farmer (farmer laughs after making quip)
“Old-timer, this is a little different. The man I’m looking for is a killer.” - Matt Dillon
BTW: I wonder if James Arness had Habsburg Chin, also known as the Habsburg Jaw, a condition that is characterized by an underdeveloped lower jaw with a protruding chin. 🤔
Hey there, @christophertsiliacos8958,
Firstly, thank you so much for leaving a l....ooong comment.
That's a great catch about the possible inference to homosexuality in that 'Gunsmoke' episode! It's definitely intriguing how subtle hints like that could be interpreted in different ways. I'm curious to know - did you notice any other instances of such subtle allusions in classic TV shows? And what do you think about the changing landscape of representation in the media today?
Oh, and about James Arness's chin, I've never really paid attention to it before. But now that you mention it, I can see how it contributes to his distinctive look. Do you think it's a common feature among actors from that era? Would love to hear your thoughts!
@@iconicinside Hi there Iconic Inside. As to your question, “Did you notice any other instances of such subtle allusions in classic TV shows? Two characters come to mind: the cartoon character “Fernando the Bull,” and Jonathan Harris who played the part of Dr. Zachary Smith in the 1960s science fiction TV series “Lost in Space.” Their effeminate behaviors made me wonder about their sexual orientation.
As to your question, “What do you think about the changing landscape of representation in the media today?” As observations from a pure sociological perspective, I’ve noticed that more and more couples on present day commercials, TV dramas and sitcoms are of the LGBTQ+ identity. And if a couple just happens to be heterosexual, 8 times out of 10, it’ll be an interracial couple. Parenthetically, if one wants to see primarily heterosexual, same race couples in TV sitcoms and drama shows, one will need to go back to the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Lastly, regarding James Arness’ chin, I never paid that much attention to it. I figured he just had a large face for a big and tall man who stood at an imposing 6’ 7”. BTW: The Habsburg Chin was Jay Leno’s trademark, so to speak.
Never Pester Chester and Big Tom stand out for Gunsmoke episodes and for movies Gun the Man Down and two science fiction movies, the monster in The Thing and F B I agent in Them.
Those are some classic picks! "Gunsmoke" really had some memorable episodes. "The Thing" and "Them" are fantastic examples of early sci-fi horror as well. Do you have a favorite character or scene from those films?
I liked him in the Thing, he is a big guy.
He was a perfect fit for the role. I can't imagine anyone else playing The Thing. Di you know that he was actually 6'7" tall?
Should have Had Festus singing he was gr8 any Wes was
Ken Curtis has a beautiful voice, was one of the Sons Of The Pioneers singers..
He played with John Wayne and Natale Wood in the classic western The Searchers.
Some of these pictures have been doctored...why the worst one possible?
They say they like family .on the set.that she dpend alot of time there . liking being there.maybe doing a scene he was a bully..but i heard doc say he was like a big teddy 🧸.not sure what to believe.james told doc.he was right.admitted it... don't sound like a bully
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the video didn't connect with you as we had hoped.

Fun coincidence: In 1977 I was on an after-season picnic of sorts with my high school track and field team. One of the runners brought along an antique trunk he or his family had purchased; inside was a newspaper section used as a liner or padding for the past contents. The athlete noted that the sports section featured a write up on Peter Arness and his Minnesota state high jump record, along with a photo of the very young man who would eventually take the stage name of Peter Graves, and be well known for Mr. Phelps of Mission Impossible.
As we had amongst us the athlete who had that very year, 1977, broken our high school high jump record at 6’1” it was interesting to note, if I recall correctly, that Arness(Graves) had jumped 6’1” for his state record! (By the way, when my classmate broke our school record, one former high school athlete was present in great pride, a high school custodian, who in 1961 had set the bar - or rather leapt over it - at 6’0”)
The track and field coach, a science teacher who also owned an antique store and art gallery, asked if any of his assembled athletes knew that James Arness of Gunsmoke and Peter Graves of Mission Impossible were brothers. I think one of our lot was aware of this.
I enjoyed both shows and both actors! It’s a small world for the tall and talented, the high jumping and high profile, or the rest of us!
The characters portrayed by the Arness brothers were of adults of professional rank performing ably and with resolve no matter the costs or the conflict! Sort of like the high school track and friend coach who became my friend! Sort of like the high school custodian who became my friend! Sort of like some of the track and field team members!
We all need role models of quiet, unwavering determination!!
Really?
Love ken Curtis made the show. Chester didn't care for.
Ken Curtis really did bring something special to his role, didn't he? His character added a lot of depth and charm that resonated with many fans. It’s interesting how different characters appeal to us in various ways. What was it about Ken Curtis’s performance that stood out to you the most?
More click bait BS Video..
Paramount on Roku has all the Gunsmoke Episodes, unfortunately it starts at season six..
Funny thing they also have Perry Mason, another favored shows growing up.

@@iconicinside learn how to pronounce words first graders can pronounce....
How could one cast any better actor(s)??,,,Matt Dillon....Doc....Kitty.....Festus? (Is there a better country doctor than Doc Adams?.....Milburn Stone was born to play that role...).
Do you know the difference between John Wayne & James Arness? No way I keep watching this crap, the 1st minute was so bad.
Thank you, please forgive my basic mistakes
Doc was a useless character on the show and basically an oxygen thief!
Really?
WTF are you on?😂
Doc was part of the whole pot of Soup Dude, him and Festus irritating each other filled the gaps needed on the show..
Watch the Episode called Wishbone.
As far a writers one was Kathleen Hite, I noticed her stuff was a bit more human element complex.
I would Say Thaddeus Greenwood wasn't need really.
