I also am a Gunsmoke fan. . My best Gunsmoke memory is when I was a little girl my parents would get together with another couple (his name was Bob) on Saturday nights to play cards. Well just before it would be time for Gunsmoke to come on TV Bob would put on his gunbelt, stand in front of the television and every week during the opening sequence he would try to out draw Matt Dillon. :lol: :lol: I remember I thought this was so funny then and I think it is funnier now.
Do you have Encore Westerns channel? They run the early seasons of Gunsmoke. They run 2 shows everynight back to back. The black and whites...they have Chester, and Quint (Burt Reynolds). Quint was a half breed and was the blacksmith. These have Festus in them once in awhile but these are where you meet Festus when he first comes to town and learn more about his background which ties in to the story lines later in the series when he becomes Matt Dillons deputy.
On the weedend around Aug. 26th. they are running 50 hours of Gunsmoke in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the series.
