Gunsmoke was great. I can watch it all day. Great actors and characters and the writing was excellent

[@OhShaw]

I wholeheartedly agree!

[@russellhowardjr.9894]

One of the best shows on television...ever.

[@lorettaaxton1645]

I agree

[@RobBurness]

I like the radio series with William Conrad as well. Naptime every day. My 1st post just joined.

[@lucypartin8566]

I watch it any time it's on.

...still! 💕

[@williamhobbs2942]

I was born in 64 it already been on for 9 years when I was about 10 almost the last season I hated at the end seeing them pistols hanging on the wall because I knew it was bedtime

[@brendaisajiw3417]

It was really great seeing the funny side of him. He liked to have fun for sure. 💖

[@randygreen8916]

I'll keep watching "Gunsmoke" as long as they keep televising it.

[@pinkfinger66]

True, but owning the DVD's is better and means never having to rely on television .

[@karenmurphy6749]

I watch Gun Smoke 5 times a day!! I love retirement!!

[@fucheduck]

I will buy the DVD since they don't except on METV where my broadcast drops because of all the neighbor's "doodads" on their rooves.

[@Blue-rw9kj]

Yep, saw it this morning, watch it later tonight.

Gunsmoke is the absolute best show on TV for those who are reminded of their childhood!

[@estebanmiguel6019]

Gunsmoke is the only tv show I watch these days. James was a class act.

[@lindadeisher1815]

A wonderful family show with true acting and a sense of humor without vulgarity. I watch it daily and it inspires everyone.

[@paulkosik5474]

Awesome Series-Awesome Cast-Watching since I was 5 years old and still watching 64 years later.

[@irenedeleon5719]

Gunsmoke. We watched it as kids. Still watching it as Seniors n as grandparents

[@Zwei4815]

Seniors tend to find themselves watching more and more television as they get older and find themselves less willing or able to do other things. They also have a tendency to reject watching new and unfamiliar television programming because the shows of their childhoods are much more comfortable and familiar, even if it's something they've seen dozens of times.

[@Doprocess3]

I absolutely loved the chemistry between the actors. So good.

[@InCountry6970]

I know James Arness worked hard on that show, but it did look like he had fun too

[@thomasmarty907]

I doubt the show would have ran for 20 seasons and been such a success if he didn't have fun on set. Best show to air in my opinion

[@alucard624]

He was known to be a huge cut up off camera laughing and having a good time.

[@BeanieScooter]

His autobiography is wonderful!

[@lisanidog8178]

I watch Gunsmoke every weekday and never knew how funny Mr. Arness could be. Gunsmoke, Cheyenne and Wagon Train. Yahoo!

[@31Alden]

Wonderful seeing this side of James Arness! ❤️

[@bythesea4ever2010]

I watch 6 of Gunsmoke shows every day on MeTv Tvland and INSP and never got tired of watching the good old days

[@karenmurphy6749]

I totally ENJOYED the bloopers!! I LOVE💖💖💖 watching Gunsmoke on insp.

[@47Brenda47]

One of the best shows ever made, that's why it's still the longest running TV drama. And he seemed like a good man.

[@nicolekenna7822]

He was

[@chuckwagon5518]

What class acts and great actors, both he and his kid brother, Peter Graves were!

[@robertsmith-oh9mo]

From what I have heard band read, James Arness had a real great sense of humor and capacity for jokes and such on set.

[@alucard624]

It's true. From all accounts he joked around a lot on the set off camera.

[@foreverknight3345]

Great actor and should have won an Oscar for his portrayal of the THING!

[@brendaisajiw3417]

One for 20 years of Gunsmoke too!

[@texas_germanic7073]

It was good to see James Arness in these funny bloopers considering his roles were always serious sounding great clips

[@nicolekenna7822]

Adore this man so much, a beautiful human being in and out with an amazing sense of humor ❤❤

[@H43339]

He seems like he had a Great Sense Of Humor. Probably the Best TV Show Of All Time.

[@rodolfogarcia321]

Great writers,Matt Dillon was a sheriff that knew to recognize the good guys ,from the bad guys ,he was not a rude lawman,he was compassionate and understanding with who he thought was a Good person ,he did not always shoot to kill ,only when he felt threatened.these series always teach us ethical values . excellent programs I watch them everyday.

[@nicolekenna7822]

I can watch this over and over again ❤Thanks for your beautiful videos of James Arness 💕

[@marrowmcneely7467]

Gunsmoke is time less! Been watching it over 50 years & don't plan to quit. Love Doc matt Kitty & Festus!

[@MaurLiz]

I LOVED these bloopers where James Arness would start laughing!! He looked so cute because he was always so serious & law-abiding!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹 Loved his laugh!!

[@vinnymac7565]

Marshall Dillon is such a likeable character. A lot of times when I watch old Westerns I find myself rooting for the bad guys cause the main character is always so invincible. Never the case with Matt.

[@sheilahardy892]

I met him at champy ranch in 1960.i was 13 his son was 8.jim walked through the reacreation room and his son said my dad doesn't wear underwear.dumb founded I said nothing.jim walked back in and handed me a bowl of green roasted grasshopper s and said if you have to listen to that bull here's something to go with the bull..I was only 13 and my dad had told me not to bother him.but he took me riding the next day and he was alot of fun.grasshoppers were good to.lol

Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Rifleman & Rawhide ! Top 4 🐴🐎🔫

[@sainttrunks1982]

Yep you got the best ones

[@liberalliar9216]

Our favorites were Gun Smoke, Paliden, Rawhide, in that order.

By far one of the best TV shows of all time ! This day in time all they know how to do is make dumb reality TV shows !

You are a BILLION % RIGHT! 1. Gilligan's Island 2. The Munsters 3. Sanford & Son 4. The Banana Splits Adventure Hour 5. The Andy Griffith Show 6. The Streets Of San Francisco 7. Happy Days 8. Laverne & Shirley 9. The Brady Bunch 10. Alf

[@wildbillharding]

Arness said that when the network decided to cancel the show in '75 the cast didn't know and there was no time to do a "wind-down" episode.

[@H43339]

@@sergiogalindo3024 I will agree on numbers 1,5 & 7. But Gunsmoke is #1 Top's !!

[@toddq6443]

I agree of course, Gunsmoke is one of a special kind. Also in my opinion, Have Gun - Will Travel is something unique and wonderful. Richard Boone was a real talent and made the Paladin character singularly interesting.

[@victorjeffers1993]

@@toddq6443 Yes I also agree with you there there's quite a few I like course I like a lot of those old westerns ! 👍

[@robertdereak3572]

I'm sitting here watching Gunsmoke like I do every evening,an I was wondering if there was any bloopers an hee I am,this really is a awesome tv show starting in 1955 an so many actors an actresses that started out to be long time movie stars !!❤

[@mr.stankers5967]

The acting in this show is so freaking good, its surreal to see these bloopers

[@donjet5371]

Two of my favorite scenes were from the old black and white episodes. The first one was with Matt and Doc sitting outside the jail when Chester walks up with a paper note and says "Here's a message for you Mr. Dillon"; then Doc says to Chester "well, you'd better sit down and rest; you've done your days work"; then Chester says "why aint you operating on someone; are your hands too shaky?" and Doc replies "I'm surprised you'd say something like that...I was about to buy you a beer!" Then Chester just stood there looking lost. It was great smart-ass remarks that real friends would say to each other. The second one was With Matt sitting outside again when Doc walks up to him. Matt said " Hello Doc, looks like you're gonna be real busy today". Doc says "really? Why is that?" Matt says "just the law of averages. You didn't do anything at all yesterday". .Doc just stands there in stunned silence. These two scenes made me laugh out-loud. The wise cracking banter between these characters seemed so normal that it could have been ad-libbed.

[@TacitusR]

I have the boxed set of the entire series. The early black & white episodes are my favorites though the entire series is good. I never get tired of the best TV western series of them all.

[@nicolekenna7822]

@@OhShaw Thanks sweetie 🙏😢

[@ccdogpark]

It cracks me up when a criminal is lying to Matt Dillon and instead of tipping his hand and calling him a liar before he can prove it, Matts' only response is to just stand there and say Ummm humm. Most people use that response to agree with the person they are talking with, but Matt Dillon NEVER uses it that way. He never says umm, humm, to agree with what he has just been told. Viewers always know that and most of the liars probably knew it too. This is probably one of my favorite lines that is frequently repeated in Gunsmoke and I sometimes wonder if this is something James Arness just started doing or was that written into the scripts (?) It drives my wife crazy when I do this to her which always give me a little chuckle. WRZ 2021-07-10

[@OhShaw]

I love it too, and though I really have no idea if it originated with the writers, or with JA, himself, my guess would be that JA came up with it in his efforts to make Matt less "wordy". It was a brilliant touch, though, whoever came up with it!

[@robertbonini]

I love gunsmoke and I watch it most nights. I get tired of watching politics, so it’s just so relaxing to sit back and watch shows like gunsmoke. James Arnez, was amazing on gunsmoke! Nobody could’ve done a better job!
