The one little house on the prairie I didn't like is when Alice and Mary and Adam's baby parished in the fire at the blind school where Albert and his friend stole that old man's pipe and took down in the basement I felt so sorry for Mary when she was staying at the restaurant and she started to scream my baby my baby and Adam told her died in the fire and she said to him your lying and should broke the glass and cut her hand then Laura ran upstairs and held Mary and told Nellie get Dr baker😢

I was 2 years old when that was made. Loved watching it with my Pop. Thanks so much for posting this!

Very very cool. I love these type of videos. You should've found a swaybacked horse to ride around. Of course, those types of horses probably don't exist anymore because people who own horses and raise horses euthanize them at birth or before. Maybe in Mexico you can still find a few.

Phone home. 🤪

Thank you for the then and now film location, i watch Gunsmoke almost everyday on Pluto or Metv and i remember this episode, thanks again!

spahn ranch episode would be cool 😎

Saludos amigo.!!!!🤠

Great video! By the way, the that was used with the orange groves WAS actor Walter Brennan‘s from the Real McCoys home in real life! 😮

Thank you for another vid. How far is 1000 Oaks from where the fires are currently burning? Please stay safe.

I prefer the original looks of the homes

Loved the series as a kid. It is good to see the old settings.

Thanks for taking the time to make this, I enjoyed it greatly.

Pleas we want transleator movies in to Arabic

the early Black & white episodes are so much better than 100% of the gahhhhhhhhhbage on TV nowadays.

Thanks for sharing. Very unique rock and I’m glad it’s not been destroyed by housing development.

Thanks for this and all your uploads always interesting to me,best wishes for '25

Question: Is that building that's there now a museum that represents where powerhouse #2 STOOD... I wasn't clear what that building's function is...Would love to visit it, if its s mock up of powerhouse #2 ....

Nice video. , 👍🏼

Cabrillo Village, Puro Campo x3 . Si Se Puede SUR 🔵 🕊️

Thanks for sharing very sad. That things like that are long gone.

Well why did they tare the town down them

THANK GOD FOR RERUNS. THANKS 😊

My house was built to look like the Iverson ranch house. One time they wanted to use it for some fill shots for the Real Mcoy's.

I apsolutely loved TZTM seg 3 was my fave!

It would be cool to live in the town and watch Gunsmoke there. I like Gunsmoke, my family watches it at mealtime at my house a lot of the time. It's cool seeing the different photos you had with you to contrast the hills and surrounding area. My favorite one was the one with James Arness in it.

While i love gunsmoke, i lived in Wichita and know there are no mountains or huge hills like this in dodge.

Burt Reynolds was the blacksmith in the black and white episodes

Nice

Nice to see that the area kind of still looks the same. If this had been where I live it would have been paved over and covered with cheap apartments and cookie cutter housing projects by now.

Cool 🆒

In 1953 I & my family visited Corriganville an we walked those very dirt streets and boardwalks. What memories!!

There is another one on Avoca St near Yosemite in Eagle Rock. I used to live right there.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I was aged 1-24 years during the Gun Smoke era.

Ive also read that at some point when James Arness's contract came up for renewal he wanted a big raise. They would give it to him at the expense of cutting the salary of other cast members and hiring lesser know talent. In exchange for a smaller raise he got them to finance a ranch interest free that he wanted to buy. At a latter contract renewal...same story........this time he got them to write off what he still owed on the ranch. Both times they agreed. "They" as in the studio.

The 30 minutes B&W episodes are by far the best. The color hour episodes are the worst. Anymore I do not even watch the color episodes at all. Ive read where they went to hour long episodes because that was the trend, like Bonanza. Also that at least the first season of hour long episodes were really padded out 30 minute scripts as hour long scripts were not ready.

In one later color episode there were scenes showing Vasquez rocks outside Palmdale Ca. I said jokingly ‘ wow those Kansas farmers did a really good job leveling those mountains and moving those rocks so they could plow those fields!!!’😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for this video , so great to have you do this we can see what its like... Ive noticed where john heads up that street on his bike in the movie there are many more lovely high trees around the end of the street and further up it which seem to have disappeared since sadly

Yet again.. amazing to see where these films were made.. I don't know that particular film.. Seeing the rock formations giving the air of the Westerns I can understand why they filmed there.. Even the sandy soil.. Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year from the UK.

Thanks for sharing this. I was born in the mid 50s in Thousand Oaks. My Uncle Jack Braden was the ranch foreman for the largest ranch in the Conejo Valley at the time. It was the Albertson Ranch (previously known as the Russell Ranch). It stretched from the western edge of Agoura to the Thousand Oaks townsite limits (before cityhood) and north to Skelton Canyon and south to Lake Sherwood. The majority of the land would become the car dealerships, Hampshire Road business district and of course North Ranch and Westlake Village. My Uncle Jack was a real cowboy as was my Cousin Rick Braden (both deceased). They played extras in the movies but more importantly, my Uncle's cattle were used in virtually all of the western TV shows and movies of the 60's and 70's. One of the funniest movies shot in the North Ranch area of Westlake was Wood Allen's "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask". For sometime a giant abandon breast and bra (moving contraption) was left abandoned on the ranch on what would be Kanan Rd and Westlake Blvd area. As kids we spent countless hours watching them film and got to see and meet many stars. In my adult life I worked as a paramedic and worked too many shows and movies to recount that were shot in the Conejo Valley. The area you showed was more properly known as the Pedersen Ranch before it was the Janss Ranch. Janss Corporation bought it all up to build the housing tracts that are all Thousand Oaks as we know it. When I was a kid it was all wide open space and we would ride horses at "the big red barn" which was on Olsen Road near CLU stadium. That barn was a left over from the movie filming days and burned down in 1978. I helped put out that fire as a young reserve fireman. I have a large box full of dozens of photos from the area before all the houses. Progress often is not progress. Sadly. An era gone.

I love Gunsmoke and love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing.

Saludos amigo...Merry Christmas 🎄🍀🖖🎁

I like the black and white shows better

Wasn't some scenes shot in Utah?

Thank you for Sharing! My favorite show Grew up watching 😊

I heard Gunsmoke was filmed in Utah at a place where many westerns were filmed. Is it Danab or something like that?

A real time machine.

Remarkable that this location looks exactly like the mountains in Dodge City, Kansas on Gunsmoke! However, it's funny the tricks the cameras play because in person the mountains around Dodge City look much flatter! Nice job finding this location, Gunsmoke is my all time favorite TV show.

Opposite of Balboa Highway.

The Rifleman was better !! Lucas McCain has the Rifle and lightning speed ! Lots of kills and coffee ☕ with Micah !!!!

Amazing how progress has taken over. 50 or 60 years ago the site was void of any population and not even a road existed. Now it's apparently a major highway. Thanks for the video.
