"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
S3 E1 - "Crack-Up"

0:40 wow check out that righteous candle. This is an intense scene... I'm intrigued.

1:32 famous last words, lmao!

2:05 where the hell is Tascosa anyway?? They keep bringing it up. Ohhh wowww...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tascosa,_Texas

Quote:Tascosa, sometimes called Old Tascosa, is the former capital of 10 counties in the Texas Panhandle. The town emerged briefly in the 1880s as an economic rival of Dodge City, Kansas. Located in Oldham County northwest of Amarillo, Tascosa is now a ghost town.

Makes you think about all the other "ghost towns" there must be... places throughout the course of history that were active hubs at one time but are long deserted now.

4:55 wow, well this guy ain't gonna be making any fuckin' friends, lmao! Who the hell gets that up in arms about a haircut??

11:32 you can make it real rough on me ANYTIME baby!!!!!!

12:55 pft, I'm siding with the gunman on this one. LMAOOOOOOO!!!!! (Spank me.)

14:50 Kitty's kinda bossy sometimes.

17:01 damn look at those righteous earrings.

18:15 I wonder if there's any saloon music on YouTube.

Hmmm, there's this...

This appears to be the absolute ultimate in authenticity, though...

According to his Wiki, he wrote over 100 original ragtime pieces... they've been played by several pianists.

These two are the best:

19:45 that bottle looks so legit. That's another thing about this show... everything looks so authentic. There's absolutely nothing that doesn't look straight out of the 1800s. None of the language, none of the music... nothing gives it away.

22:37 they do an excellent job making Matt seem lightning fast, his gunfights are over before you can even blink.

24:50 this was the best death scene on the show yet... very well done.
