Ken was so under-rated in the show but he was half of the show. His loyalty, duty, character to justice was great. He possessed an innocent wisdom. I loved Festus

Same here, I have the entire series on dvd 😂

I grew up on Gunsmoke. I got to meet Ken Curtis as a 10 year old kid and listen to him sing and it was quite the pearl button bangled billy.

Ken played a humble character in the series, but the he loved and loyalty he displayed for Matt and kitty it was beautiful to watch. Today you can barely find that in between people. God bless festus and RIP.

$500 in the late 1870's was like $3k today. Festus wouldn't know what to do with it.

Great actor and singer

My granddad on my daddy's side couldn't read or write, my dad read at the 2nd grade level.... this was in the 1930s in Mississippi. When my mom and dad were married in 1943, she taught him how to read and write, he was very proud of his achievement and rightly so

My favorite being an alcoholic is, " You been drinking that loud mouth?" referring to whiskey! And "She is so tall she could hunt geese with a rake" and on and on pure gold!

Th' very best episode between Festus & Doc is Wishy Bone. A must see for any Festus, Doc fan..

He always makes me laugh! Really love his character!!

Is this the episode where Doc explains to Festus the financial meaning of interest? Festus replied "I ain't got any interest in it at all!" Lol

that would be today worth around $11,400.00

I been thinking of getting a FESTUS license plate for my car 🚗 😁

Just have to Love Festus's Reaction! $500😲A Classic Festus Moment!👏🙌

Festus is my very favorite character in Gunsmoke. I esp loved he and Doc giving each other the business! My dad and I loved do watch them together….always made us laugh. And he always called Matt Matthew….I just loved him.

I was enjoyed the interaction between Festus and Doc...Always the best part of Gunsmoke...Festus was my favorite character of Gunsmoke...He was book smart...but he had intergrity, showed loyalty to his friends, and most of all had good old "Common Sense"

Really funny one!!

Absolutely loved the show but hated how it ended. Matt and Kitty should of loaded up in a buggy with Matt's horse in tow and all 3 rode off into the sunset !!!!!!! Now thats the way it should of ended !!!!😥😘👍👍

It depends on the show, for me. I like the B&W originals like Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, and the Lone Ranger. But I think Bonanza would not be the same if it were B&W. I do think the B&W versions of Gunsmoke are better than the in-color ones.
