Gunsmoke

We're watching an old Gunsmoke. Amazing. Doc and Kitty. Plot and Duck remember them like old friends. Matt's been kidnapped by bad guys (Ed Ames is one of 'em) and they're almost to the Mexican border and what's gonna happen? Amazingly insulting bad Mexican stereotype -- bad teeth, stupid, awful English.

Do you remember Kitty's dress? The owner of the Longbranch Saloon wears white lace buttoned up to her chin.

Of course, this is one of the 'newer' ones, because Festus is Marhsall Dillon's sidekick instead of Chester. Ooooh! Festus has broken into the camp and is going to save the Marshall -- damn! It didn't work!

Can you believe this? Festus is now in jail!

Not to worry. The Marshall survived with the help of a kindly bad guy, who (as we all know) had been falsely accused. The Marshall will help him receive justice.

Ahhhh!

That's an awful lot going on! I remember watching that show as a kid at me grandparent's house. I forgot about Chester.

It's funny that you go from watching all that theater to Gunsmoke. Better than watching the Giants tonight though. (Which means you should be enjoying it a LOT!)
