[69bluegreen69]

By golly sounds good.

[eccoshoe1]

Jim Arness is a true gentleman, o this day and a real american, a credi to his craft and his country..

[dithbmine1]

This is a REAL man...not the feminized loosers of today..

[RARARANDOMcopter]

I have just one question..

how come, in the show, he hardly EVER talked. i've seen so many episodes, he just so rarely talks.

[museack]

@RARARANDOMcopter

His character was as a soft spoken man. Like the saying..."walk softly and carry a big stick". He didn't go blabbing like most people, but if you crossed him....you be dead.

[coldplayish]

I love his laugh!!!

[billjhyt]

I don't think I could possibly be more interested listening to this man tell his story, just great, it ties so many things about the show together--greatly appreciated.

[brylner]

Zebulon Macahan forever, the best there is.

[coleyman1]

Who said the "good die young"? This man is a true gentleman. We were all watching Mr. Dillion back then, and it seems we are watching him now. Thanks for the memories Mr. Arness.

[plainwain]

AMEN!

[Fruth37]

The River was the 2 parter aired on 9/11/72 Mr. Arness couldn't remember the name of.

[loucarlucci]

Arness is still sharp as a tack.

[McCoyFan]

Right when he said, "Snow Train." I was like, That's my favorite too! Funny how Curtis was on the show earlier playing different characters until Festus was formed as a cast member and he got the part.

[Ramubay]

He's watching the episodes on commercial television? Can't CBS send him the DVD'S?

[horsehockey122]

we have the set and watch them every day

we bought them off the net and their freaking copies from tv land and some channel in dallas

[mysterymac38]

this was recorded in 2002 before they were released on dvd.

[musictodiefor]

There are only a few episodes on DVD. There were over 650 shows over the years and only about three dozen are on DVD and not that many more are even on TV.

[One2many4u2c]

Incorrect, there were 635 shows in total and it IS available to buy over the internet EVERY single show.

[BullpenBoss]

One of the most under rated actors ever. His work in Gunsmoke and How The West Was Won is spectacular. God Bless you Mr. Arness.

[horsehockey122]

best show ever

[DJMays54]

thank you for posting the interviews. I remember when I was younger. Every Sat. night we would gather at my Aunt's house. My Father would join after work. My Aunt would make snacks for us to have while we watched GS. I still watch all the reruns today 2008. We never get tired of watching. Times were hard in those days, yet so simple and honest.Simple as no utilities to worry about paying. Only had to worry about food and shelter.

[plainwain]

It is so refreshing to see an

interviewer who go to exhaustive

and in depth 'interrogation'

and to see and hear the integrity

of Mr. Arness.

[michaelwright999]

Great actor and man

[jefroe20]

succinct and spot on.
