I could watch Gunsmoke with Festus, all day everyday. He is one of the most talented actors I have ever seen. R.I.P. Festus we love you.

Yes he was great for sure. I remember him in Ripcord also. Ken Curtis and Larry Pennell.

I grew up watching Gunsmoke and bonanza I'm 65 now. I still watch both. I got to meet doc and Festus at a roado

God bless his soul......he brought such joy, laughter and love to millions...

Ken Curtis and Milburn Stone, compliment each other so very well, I love the humor these to bring to the great series Gunsmoke. I really enjoy their characters. I wish there was more shows like Gunsmoke nowadays. enjoyed the post thanks.

Festus I still love watching him🙋

Festus was a great character for Gunsmoke! He came along when the show needed a boost and it did.

Love Ken Curtis!! Festus was the best!!

I’ve watched Gunsmoke since I was a kid in the 60”s, and I can’t think of a better character actor than Ken Curtis.

Gunsmoke……realistic stories, fine scripts and superb acting. One of the greatest western dramas ever made. Those wonderful actors and actresses who made this series will return after Armageddon. R.I.P. means Resurrection In Paradise according to the Bible’s promise in John 5: 28 & 29. Alan Peck 🐎

A true statement. Festus is the bestus

My favorite “Festus-isms” are...”That was mighty thoughty of ya! “ “You old scuddard “.

Clockerwise, and contrary-clockerwise.

Oh, Festus! Hes really something else!😅🤣😂Poor Doc! Then Festus follows him out the door! Golly Bill!😂

in my home town I always walked for excersize and always walked by one of my neighbor's house they had a dog, a grey terrier or some half breed, very mangy and loud and handled their bigger dogs with its voice! I named that dog "Festus"(I don't think they called it that). I never talked to them much after I grew up, but as a kid I knew their two daughters. the dog was always around, they were not. so I never asked the dog's name but to me it(he/she) was "Festus"

It's amazing how the characters have changed their personalities through the years. Take a look at the early Seasons before Festus was a Lawman, he can really sing too! He was part of a western band called The Pioneers.

It doesn't get any better than fastest he's a great actor

Festus is the Bestus! You could edit together all of the scenes of Festus like this one and have a whole season of Gunsmoke comedy….and it’d be light years better than what is on television today.

One of my favorite TV cops is Deputy Fetus Hagen. Honest and sincere and full of backwoods wisdom.

Festus should have got an Academy Award how he could turn Ken Curtis into and to Festus was amazing

Doc & Festus- always at it! ☺

Saw Ken Curtis (before the Festus character) in an early episode playing an Indian. They saw an obviously, very talented actor!

Hats off to Festus!!

Doc was plumb tuckered out !

Incredible actor. Gunsmoke got better the last ten years with Festus than Dennis Weaver,s character!!!!!

Thought I used to like festus better. But I didnt remember anything about Chester too small. All I remembered about him was being crippled and just yelling mr. Dillon after now watching old reruns of Chester he could be really funny but when he got mad he could have a temper.😄

Festus is always larapin.

He is right people rarely consider where they get there info. Just like he said, Just because some feller wrote it does not mean he wrote it right.

I love Ken Curtis but I loved Dennis Weaver also I hated to see him go

On the Gunsmoke (original 30 minute shows), I have noticed Chester's 'one- liners.' He was quite witty! I looked up Dennis Weaver's bio this year. Wow! He was an accomplished man before becoming an actor.

they were both great, theyre two roles helped define the show, Dennis was great too in my books. I like em both.

FLANG ‘EM OUT SIDEWAYS!!

You got to love him....lol..

I liked Marshall Dillon and Festus as the best ones on Gunsmoke to me.

Hello Festus he may not have been book educated but he was a smart man

Festus's logic is unassailable.

Got'cha dere Doc, by jimony😮!!! FLANG!!! FLANG!!!🤠😎🤓✌🏻

He sang pretty good too. The tumbleweed song.

Actually Festus was the prototype politician. After they explain something you say WTF! only difference is Festus had a good soul.

No one can tell history better

The best

Jee jawz!!!

He was too funny omg

What episode was that

Doc gave up LOL!!!!!!!!

I love Ken Curtis and Festus also, this clip is not presented as original, with some extra "Haw-Haw's" edited in. Ken's singing, dancing , and overall charm made him a fan fave.

Which is what we have with todays media

damn sun?o?

Doncha see?!

Festusism still applies here in 2024...How do you know if the person who wrote the readin' wrote the readin' right ? Now we have a name for it however . It's called fact check . Yup . Fact check what you read and hear . Festus was spot on in his own way of course .

Premier Ministre Mlle Kitty.

Festus is the best

Is that pure tea or.......lol wonder what they are drinking. Just like Seinfield. "Norm" drinking tea, too? lol... sorry, had to throw that in..

Dennis weaver hurt the show after awhile because he kept taking off to work on other projects finally after awhile they told him nope see ya later. If it wasn’t for Burt Reynolds and Ken Curtis being there in Season 9 the show would’ve failed because they kept the audience interested
