I just love Festus!!! Ken Curtis did an awesome job portraying him!!! What a fantastic, great actor!!!! I truly miss actors like him and James Arness!!! How can anyone not love Festus??? 🥰❤️🤗❤️

in 2020 it's still the best show on tv.

"Onlyest" Only Festus can say that. Ken Curtis was great doing that part. He strared in Gunsmoke and made that show a classic. Festus's sayings were classic!!!!

So glad that they are airing these Gunsmoke episodes on MeTV now. It was on too late for me to watch as a kid, but I really enjoy the show now, and see why it was a favorite of my dad.

The “reading right and right reading” speech is the best one from Festus!

One thing people don’t know, he had a great voice

I love that story especially when he starts saying reading and writing and writing and reading don't you see and him and Doc get into it all the time just love it. It's classic

Festus made this show and that's why it lasted so long!

'Think it's easy playing a podunk hayseed like Festus ? That's some great acting folks , Festus just made it look so easy and so natural ! Great acting Festus , R.I.P.

FESTUS ! WHAT A HOOT !

One of them Fellers Lol Ken Curtis was one of the best it seems so natural for him to speak this way and yet to hear him sing it was so different he was such a great actor and a great singer and performer he is missed so much

It doesn't get any better than this. Such a joy to watch.

Thank you for offering up this portion of Festus! Years ago my brother went to Mexico and I told him I wanted a pair of spurs that jangled like Festus Hagin's. Well, he brought me back of brass spurs that I wore with gold chains holding them around my ankles, high-heel shoes and blue jeans. They jangle just fine to this day! (and that was in the mid-70's)

Festus was the best.

This was when TV was fun to watch. No profanity,nudity,just a great show to watch. Its not why can’t they make programs like this anymore,they just don’t want to,because it don’t fit their narrative. What a Shame.

Omg I love gunsmoke I love how he says “contrary clocker wise”

Go to wikipedia and look up the things that Ken Curtis did before he played ''Festus'' - an amazing career even before ''Gunsmoke''! Couldn't believe it!

One of the absolute high points in TV comedy.The choppiness of this scene suggests that the actors had great difficulty controlling themselves. I'm also curious as to why Kitty's dialog is looped.

Festus had logic!!

There were episodes where Chester showed remarkable heroic resolve such as the episode called. ex urbanites that featured Ken Curtis as part of a duo who caused problems for Doc and Chester. Chester ended up removing a Bullitt from Doc and saving his life by providing liquid protein nourishment to sustain Doc after the Bullitt was removed. Chester had to shoot Doc's horse to provide that.

But they made him a bumbling fool later with his ear sticking from under his hat ---

Quality of this video is very very bad

There is an online site dedicated to Ken where they've published a final farewell to his family, friends, and fans. It is very touching and made me cry. Something tells me that Mr. Curtis was definitely touched by an angel with his talent and his big heart 😇
