Gunsmoke 1964 original intro/previews/close
Loading...
Uploaded by saynotoursoap on Aug 9, 2009
This is a rarity. Although early episodes of Gunsmoke are being telecast on satellite, they do not include the original previews for the next episode introduced by the cast, as you see here with Amanda Blake, who later played Dr. Julianna Stanhower on Edge of Night. The format for Gunsmoke in 1964: the series opened with the intro theme, segued into the sponsor's commercial with no announcement, then returned for the writing and directing credits before the first scene. I enjoy this clip because the preview is Festus-centric (ie, comical).

Sheri451: the B&W "Gunsmoke" episodes are on Encore Westerns. The half-hour shows from 1955-1961 were just added, with the original title and not the pasted-on "Marshall Dillon" substitute.
-
I always understood that Burt Reynolds' time on the show was earlier in the run, and that he left to co-star with Darren McGavin in RIVERBOAT. Could someone clarify when his stint was.
-
I just realized how much I miss that program, and how
much we all miss The Country we USED to have to
WATCH IT IN!
Remember? A country called "America", NOT
A "HOMELAND"!

I would like to see the B&W episodes of Gunsmoke. Or as Susan Oleson told Sherwood Schwartz (May he rest in peace) Gunthmoke. I believe the Brady Bunch children said they were on the Gunsmoke set when they did the first part of Grand Canyon Or Bust. Sus an Oleson did an episode of Gunsmoke when she was five. As I said she lisped to Mr Schwartz 'I wath on a Gunthmoke, with a horth (horse) and a thake (snake). He thought she was so adorable he hired Susan on the spot as Cindy Brady.

How sad: Lost two great lawmen in one week: Marshal Dillon and Columbo. RIP, both of you.

I was very small when it was on the air in 64. Arness will be missed. It is also pleasing he wrote a message in event of his death thanking the fans of his tv shows.

Rest in peace Mr. Arness. We will miss you!!

RIP James Arness.

This was my lullaby on Saturday nights when I was a boy. My parents wouldn't let me stay up that late (10:00) to watch Gunsmoke, but I could stayed awake in bed long enough to hear this version of the theme. I'll bet within 10 seconds after the last note, I was asleep.

What a beautiful memory audiophile55. I recall the same thing in my house with the theme from "The Fugitive" . Hearing te end theme now send shivers on my neck and I can actually recollect our living room just as it was. Great days that have passed.
