@CarolJean65 And a lot of happiness to both. Although, if "Ruth" is a MALE mule ("him"), that gives food for thought about Festus' sexual orientations... In those times, there were still no "equal opportunities", "gay rights" and "pride", etc. ... No criticism, let's live with the times. But in THOSE times... ;-).
@Gheorgyi I can't remember what eppy is was but Festus referred to Ruth as "him". I think he was talking to Newly and Newly was surprised Festus said him talking about Ruth.
The eye-bolt through the hitching post Matt was handcuffed to was held by a six-sided nut. Six-sided nuts weren't invented yet, as well as socket wrenches to tighten them. No, four-sided square nuts were about it until after WW2. Kinda makes one wonder about who had a ratchet wrench and socket set in the mid 1800's.
A vote for the best episode would be neat. I'd have to go with Dr. Herman Schultz or "Where'd they Go" w/Jack Elam or a top ten list would be neat to see.
A post-60s Gunsmoke. Skerritt is the obvious centerpiece. The plot has more holes than the OK Corral, but no matter-the performances compensate beautfully.
I listened to the musical theme of this episode again and again, and now I know what it reminds me of: the evil Emperor's theme from "Star Wars" episode 6 "Return of the Jedi".
MAN that's gotta hurt. Chained to a post watching your father hang knowing he's innocent.Who wouldn't want revenge like that, who the hell would ever forget that you not only took an innocent life but, you took another just as if you hanged him. I CAN'T BLAME THIS GUY
@SpoiledKitty07 Glad that you like it,is a favorite of mine.Will try to upload an episode of the show here and there.Will have to make sure that someone else doesnt already have them posted though.
@DwighttFrye Could you find the episode of "Champion of the World" this one has Alan Hale in it (from Gilligans Island) He plays a bare knuckled boxer. And give Thad a beating and Matt Dillan a run for his money.
If I was Matt I would have knocked the piss out of that dude!

@Gheorgyi That mule, I'll have you know, is Ruth, Festus's one and only true love.
Gunsmoke is a great ol' show.

@Gheorgyi Festus loves Ruth. Festus will probably marry him.

This could all be over if Festus would just carry a small cal revolver in his boot On his back pant whatever. Just isn't that smart i guess.
Man with all that lumber out there some1 could build themselves a pretty nice place ?
