"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary

[Mister Obvious]

I've watched episodes I thought were great, but didn't have much to say about them... typically length of commentary or lack thereof doesn't indicate whether an episode is good or not.

With this show, the spectrum so far seems to go from 'Good' to 'Epic'... episodes like S7E26 raise a need for the spectrum to go from 'Meh' to 'Epic'. That's my take on it.

Rare to get a 'Meh' episode... I think most of the cast knew that episode wasn't great. I could just sense it in them. Very little of the main cast really appeared much... seemed like a "vacation season" minimal appearance episode. It aired March 31, 1962 so I'm thinking it was meant for the kids...

Although some schools may just schedule it for the last week of March, with separate days off for the Easter holiday.
