I have to say that I always liked Ken Curtis when I saw him in movies with John Wayne, but by far my favorite character is Festus on Gunsmoke. For the first twenty-seven years of my life, I'd never seen a single episode, but I latched on last year, and can now say I've seen (and have compiled) almost every one of the 20 seasons.
It should be said, despite my love of Ken Curtis, that I watched the Killer Shrews, and could not help but giggle through the whole thing.
