Right On Marshal Dillon.

This was the second pilot. "Hack Prine" was done first, in 1954. I think HP is a better, more logical episode that does a better job of introducing the characters. Real lawmen would have their guns already drawn and probalby have plenty of help in dealing with Grat. Matt recovers far too quickly. Grat, like "Wilson" in Shane is just fast-he doesn't aim. He has to be close. But first confrontaiton is in the steet and the second indoors. And the US governemtn would have gone after Grat in force.

That's Paul Richards..a great character actor Jim gunned down there.

I wonder how many notches he's got on the gun he has there.

Great episode but I hate seeing someone faster than Matt. I guess that is the kid in me.

Thanks for posting this episode which I dont remember seeing and yes kitty certainly looks different. I DVR all episodes of gunsmoke from encore , tv land, and whmb 40 but dont lhave the gunsmoke channel. But most of the episodes are from the 60s and 70s none or rarely from the 50s.. I wish they would just start from episode one and run all the way thru but no one does that.
