"Gunsmoke" (1955) - Review & Commentary
S12 E17 - "Mad Dog"

Robert Totten started directing episodes right at the end of season 11, and he directed 25 episodes between '66-'71. He directed most of these season 12 episodes that have been so great.

This episode is directed by Charles Rondeau... let's see if it's good.

2:10 the lighting is amazing in this scene... https://imgur.com/a/Pgctqur

2:50 how ironic though... you know that's some shit that would really happen too.

3:40 what's wrong with being left to the buzzards?? I think it's a great thing to give back to nature, maybe the buzzards are hungry.

6:06 "That sounds kinda serious." Roflfmfaololol.

7:15 "Kitty, I need a drink." I feel like this part was ad-lib... it seemed genuinely spontaneous.

10:10 damn, Festus inherited one badass rig!!!

10:44 oh my God, it was so sexy the way he turned the horse toward them.

11:05 whew, good Lord, he's so fine, I'd be tempted to do anything he said!!!

11:56 this episode is wank worthy. It's in the "Episodes I'd Masturbate To" Hall of Fame.

17:00 "Or I'm comin' back to HAUNT YOU!"

18:20 Festus walks into the most redneck saloon in town and everybody immediately pours out.

18:28 "Now I don't know whether I'd orghta go soak in the creek for a spell, or run for public office!"

20:55 they think Festus killed Travers... that's pretty funny, that would make him a badass in their eyes.

21:36 oh shit, it's a hill people omen.

24:30 whoa, you know what, one time I had a dog who sorta looked like that!

25:56 dude that scene was scary AF!

26:11 OMG, is Festus gonna get rabies!?!?!

27:55 "They would be with me. Everything I do's extreme."

29:55 this is SOOOO dramatic. Absolute melodrama.

30:40 I'm practically drooling over this.

32:20 this scene of Festus scaring the shit out of these guys is iconic... https://imgur.com/a/jBBtJCu

32:40 "You been a'choosin' me for the last hour or so... and I'm here to tell ya I'm choosin' you back."

34:08 this was the episode where they solidified Festus into pure legend.

37:12 he just puts that gross beer back up on the table... *gag*

38:27 imagine Festus being buried on Boot Hill! That's so mysterious and sexy!

44:20 so brilliant. This was another top of the list episode.
