Yes, I think it had a quick release from his holster, but I could be wrong on that.

There was this western movie someone killed the guys father. The son was afraid to take revenge. Some guy had a quick release holster the gun broke off without taking out of the holster. So gun from holster to hand was super fast.

That is all I remember about it. Any takers?

... in place of The Andy Griffith Show which ticks me off to no end!

Best $80.00 you'll ever spend, Oli. And when I bought it, I paid over $125.

What's nice is, you get the original backdoor pilot from "Make Room for Daddy," which is never shown in syndication. No Barney, no Aunt Bee (although Frances Bavier plays a different character).

You also get "Return to Mayberry, which is about the only "reunion" movie ever made that was halfway decent.

There's a competitor to MeTV called Cozi TV, which is showing Make Room for Daddy, and had this episode a couple of weeks ago.

You know who else was a staple guest star on those shows, MP? Tom Skerritt.

Most people remember him as the sheriff on "Picket Fences," or as Mr. Drake on "Cheers." But back in the '60s he had to be in a dozen or so episodes of "Gunsmoke" and "Bonanza."

Good character actor. He had that rugged, outdoor look. A natural for a cowboy smile.

Six different episodes of the Virginian! He was one of those guys who could turn out to be surprisingly twisted.

I've always liked Skerritt. Since "River Runs through It" is set in Montana, I'm going to call it a Western and link this:



At about 1:20, there's one of my favorite scenes in any movie, between Skerritt and Craig Sheffer.

So did Nick Adams..."The Rebel". I played golf in Berwick, PA, at a course that bordered a cemetery. The locals told me that Nick Adams was buried there. rolleyes

Our family liked "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Bonanza", "Maverick" and "Cheyenne". As a kid I was impressed by Clint Walker (Cheyenne Bodie, cool name) BIG MUSCLES. I'll never forget the episode with the killer Grizzly and Cheyenne killed it with a knife....at least that's my memory.

I always wanted to see a fight between him and Chuck Connors. The two BIG cowboys. (I guess you could throw in James Arness).

Right. Remember when after the first two or three seasons, they introduced words to the show's theme:

Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire head's the calling wind.
A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin
Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin,
Far, far from home.

Paladin was very slow on the draw. But when he did fire he hit what he pointed at.

In the beginning where he pulled the gun pointed it at the camera and you heard him talk. Then he would slam the gun back in the holster. I always thought the gun would get stuck in the holster when he tried to draw.

Richard Boone who played Paladin was a method actor. He never went out of character for all the seasons he did the show.

Check out when he was on "what's my line"

And why does my almost 85 year old father get so angry when I tell him that Miss Kitty (from "Gunsmoke") had to have been a hooker?

"Saloon Girl" = Prostitute lol.

No miss kitty was not a hooker when the show started. She owned the saloon the long branch. She was a madam yes the long branch was a gambling hall, saloon and a whore house.

It was protected by Matt Dillion miss kitty was his girl friend and partner in the place.

They both died shortly after the series ended from venereal desease. Miss kitty retired from being a whore when she took over the long branch. But the VD was already in her and in Matt.

So is Gunsmoke worth watching i guess? Is there any particular movies you could compare it to, or is it pretty much a bit of everything?

I thoroughly recommend Gunsmoke for your viewing. It's one of the best westerns ever (for that matter, one of the best tv programs ever). I don't think I missed any of its episodes when it was in its original run. It was decent and wholesome, something the kids could watch also. It was about heroism, bravery, justice, and defending the defenseless. Also, I think you'll enjoy the character of Chester.

I did not like gun smoke, but I did like a character named festis especially when he got pissed off.

My version of gun smoke was probably the way it was if the show was real. They made in nice and wholesome fuck that smile

Thanks for the response Olivant. I'll try it out in the next few days, and will post my thoughts after a few eps. Out of interest have you or anyone else here watched Deadwood, and if so what did you think of it?

I didn't see Deadwood. However, Gunsmoke may be comparable to the movie Silverado. or Wyatt Earp. Of course, those movies contained alot more violence than Gunsmoke, but they have comparable qualities.

I wholeheartedly agree, Oli. And I also loved the Chester character. Festus was fun, too. But in a much more comic way. And don't forget Burt Reynolds as Quint! smile

As an Andy Griffith Show fan, you might remember the episode where Goober is introduced and does his Chester impression.

You know who else you can add to that guest star list, MP?

John Saxon. Remember him, from "Enter the Dragon"?

He's actually Italian American from Brooklyn (real name Carmine Orrico). Anyway, I saw him in three different episodes of "Gunsmoke" in this past week alone.

Oh, yeah. Another was Michael Ansara (Barbara Eden's ex), who was of Syrian descent and thus eligible to play Mexicans, American Indians, or any other non-whites who might turn up.
