I like the first scene where the preacher says all those fine things at a funeral about a deceased scoundrel. Chester asks, Is this the same guy I knew who was a essentially a lazy, shiftless moonstaker/thief (words to that effect). Matt Dillon says, "Chester that was while he was still alive." The writers for Gunsmoke were outstanding at their craft. Many of these shows were originally on radio programs. So the television show had much tried out material to work with from the radio shows. How often do we run into real life people in our ordinary world everyday who act almost exactly like these characters while watching Gunsmoke reruns? The one liners in these shows are great too.

"God bless and forgive Father Meza for all his kind words for Mendoza but he was lying up a storm even Moses couldn't tame. Mendoza was a drunken, mean, profane, womanizing, shiftless son of a bitch! If Father Meza lies like that at my funeral I may rise outta my casket and grab him by his scrawny throat." With that she took a good sip of her strong coffee.

Oh I wish I had downloaded the season 1 to 8 when it was downloaded on KZread. I love this great series!

Of all the favorite characters of mine in Gunsmoke one of the ones that was hardly ever mention was Louis he lasted so long on the show Gunsmoke and made so many different changes as his character changed. Yet the man who played Louie was I believe darn good actor who portrayed a drunk most of the time and he was so very endearing and compassionate caring person the character Louis. The man who portrayed him was excellent at it yet hardly hardly ever hear anything of him after this. It's so unfortunate
