S13 E17 - "Dead Man's Law"

0:40 #DefinitelyNotKansas

3:40 damn that's some nice hair.

3:55 eerily, I can feel "the end" of the show drawing near when I listen to this intro music.

5:05 I can tell this one has a personality... https://i.imgur.com/H3fIOm3.png

5:40 look at that lady's hat... there's nooooo way they had ANYTHING in that shade of purple in the 1800s. That would be considered OBSCENE and PROFANE. If they made stuff that color in the 1800s, show me PROOF.

According to this article they did wear vivid colors in the 1800s that often clashed like shit with the rest of the outfit...

If that's the case, then I guess Gunsmoke is historically accurate with these atrocious accessories pairings, lol. But on the other hand, if they really did dress that way, you almost kinda gotta give them props for not giving a shit!

9:40 dude this is dramatic AF.

10:00 well I mean this guy is definitely believable. His wife is sitting there looking full of pity toward the situation.

10:30 but there AREN'T canyons. There LITERALLY ARE NOT canyons in Kansas. Unless there are? https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/kansas/arikaree-breaks Apparently there's a whole 2 mile 'feature' in Kansas that could be called a mini canyon-esque situation. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/kansas/c...ike-kansas I feel like they try to make it look more canyony than it really is. I'd have to see it for myself.

Apparently Kanopolis State Park has canyons... https://stateparks.com/kanopolis_state_p...ansas.html

12:00 Festus handled that so perfectly.

13:58 I really like his outfit too, it's nice that the main characters' outfits were generally likable, since they wear them all the time.

14:27 see this is what I was hoping. It looks like he's in good hands.

15:06 dude... he don't seem like he's doing so hot.

15:20 why's somebody always gotta get thrown through the window of one of these fine establishments? It's so destructive.

16:20 did I miss something? Who the heck are these thug dudes with badges and the weird black gloves??

16:58 Louie DGAF.

17:50 Doc's let down by the sheeple.

18:54 it looks like they've got furniture and everything else up there on the Long Branch terrace... https://i.imgur.com/sRGtIO6.png

20:46 check out that enchanting AF hair pin Kitty is wearing.

21:37 well that ain't gonna end well.

22:36 ooOooOhooOoHooHhoOooOooo FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

22:40 that was hardcore though, very colorful language from Festus.

23:50 can a deputy deputize? Cuz he needs to deputize the shit out of Newly right now.

24:40 send Newly to the canyon, they'll come in and straight up kill his ass. You can't forcefully take over from a bunch of bad guys and then walk right out again, that's some bullshit.

25:00 BUT HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A BADGE. He should NOT have put Newzerz in that position, yo.

27:20 *3 guns in his face* "Well that's up to the court to decide!" *slow clap*

28:30 did they have therapists back then, cuz I think Newly's gonna need to see one.

29:26 he literally didn't save his life, they were leaving.

29:47 this episode is WIIIILLLD.

30:10 Doc just called election fraud in the 1800s.

30:40 one of Doc's greatest scenes in any episode, maybe the best.

31:10 owwwnnnneeedddddddd.

31:44 I can't believe this douchewit just ordered a hit on Dr. Adams, yo.

33:08 you can tell Matt's trippin' balls seeing this right now.

33:17 and look how fkn sexy he is... in the warm light of the campfire, wow, this is great.

33:22 even Festus thinks so.

34:13 that might have been the PEAK SEXY of James Arness on this show... I'm so for real. Just the absolute. Like so over the top ridiculously everything. Just everything.

34:20 Kitty's like the Queen sending the troops out... https://i.imgur.com/uVN4SSp.png This is actually one of the greatest Gunsmoke episodes of all time, lol.

34:30 this is fucking awesome dude, I cannot believe this show. I straight up cannot believe it.

35:26 you know it's interesting... as I watch this, I realize that I've watched every episode so far with the subtitles on (except for that one episode that didn't have captions, wtf) and the act of reading it while watching it kinda diverts attention away from the scene itself to a degree. But on the other hand, I'll be able to say that I've watched AND read all of Gunsmoke.

36:00 those are some darkass days in Dodge though.

38:40 wow, this black vest dude ain't the brightest crayon in the box is he?

39:40 I love the way Festus walks along side him in this scene... it's such a special walk. Where have you ever seen anything like that???

42:26 the captions misspelled bandana... *tsk*

42:48 you could hear a flea fart in Dodge tonight.

44:50 [approaching horse footsteps] lolol I dunno, something about that just sounds funny to me.

45:28 oh TTTDAAMNMMNNN. That is ominous AFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

47:10 definitely one of the top 10 greatest episodes of Gunsmoke.

47:22 this was exactly what the scene reminded me of too... yeah, they knew what they were doing with that scene.
