Just okay
28 October 2018
At least Festus broke his endless stream of bromances for a minute although his interactions with April were like a love sick 12 yr old. and APRIL. Every episode she was on she appeared to be severly mentally deficent. But a good mystery line to story.

Real actors real direction
27 October 2018
And those two things along with a real story. Is what its all about. Being able to spot and emply a gunfighter at the drop of a hat is a bit implausable but mostly the story is strong and all acting excellent. Powerful ending.

Women making sense
22 October 2018
People will. hate this because women have big roles and they arent saloon girls. Yes,it was too easily smoothed over but acting was strong and story was different.Also men and women actually LOOKED. Like they might be hill people!

Legit
21 October 2018
This was a good subject. As an elder I can relate to the passing of a familiar culture. I cant stand Chill Wills but this story had a real legit subject that is still universal.

Again with the heavily abused and starved young girl YET STILL. Beautiful!! Some good issues, good acting,could havw been creepy with the affection of Doc stuff but handled well by writer and Mulbuen Stone.

Shows promise
21 October 2018
I get so sick if these frontier girls being potrayed as pert, in cute fresh calco,nipped in waist, shiny fresh washed hair. Ridiculous. The do produce a LOT of episodes about girls being attacked. That story line gets old. They have good actors. They need better stories.

Greenhorn
19 October 2018
Sad tale about a well meaning greenhorn who gets in a culture he doesnt understand. Suspenseful and a nice morality tale.

B as d idea
16 October 2018
Another attempt at adding a semi reg character. Not a,believable character in any way WAS THE DANDY LAWYER. COULDNT HAVE FIT in in any way. Like dropped from the future. Almost as bad as another attempt with the unappealing Kale guy. Quint was great, Newly was good, Thad was God awful and the flatest actor ever.

Good mysyery
13 October 2018
Although one can usually figure it out based on the guest star, this time Martin Landau. Had a beginning,middle and end which is not always the case. Sometimes there is too,much story for the half hour. Someimes too little. This one was well done.

God awful
13 October 2018
It is amazing how often these fading acttess with formerly successful careers come on shows like Gunsmoke an are just beyond terrible. Betty Hutton was so dreadful,in this show she was embarrasing. The entire cast must habe felt akward aboit this performnce and sad for her. Why did they run this? One of the worst ever.

Okay
12 October 2018
There was just not enough story here to last an hour. The viewer knew within 20 min what was wrong and how it would end. Good cast though npt much of a tale to tell.

Silly women
12 October 2018
Gunsmoke is my all time favorite tv show but there some elements I abhored such as Festus's creepy over the top adoration of Matt and the ridiculodly tiny, delicte, fresh skinned ,shiny haited women of their old west...even the saloon girls! Oh, I know why they did it but in doing so they totally destroyed the authenticity of the show. This just another one of those so so scripts

Gentle chamge
12 October 2018
Nice gentle story for a change with npt too much random senseless killing until,the end. Fine, multi award winnimg actor, Bikel adds depth to the story.The endless "revenge for my whomever" theme really gets overused on Gunsmoke

Nive episode

With depyh,of story and real character development. K Hite always writes well for women and the producers are wise to see this and feature it. How people can still question a romantic relationship between Matt and Kitty is beyond me.me !
