Movie Reviews of Gunsmoke - 50th Anniversary Collection, Volume 1
Movie Review: A great collection of the best Gunsmoke episodes.
Summary: 5 Stars
"GUNSMOKE" was always a wonderful show, filled with excellent acting and very well-written episodes. This set is not a season set, but it is not just a "best of" collection of episodes either. It goes above and beyond the usual television show DVD release, in that the executives at CBS have put so much time and effort into this project. Not to mention that some of the still living members from the show are still around to provide assistance. All of the episodes look and sound great; everything is in absolutely perfect condition, including the writing of the episodes, which is still entertaining as ever. This show will hopefully always be around to entertain its old and new dedicated fans. Below is a list of episodes contained in this 3-disc set.

THIS REVIEW IS DEDICATED TO ANYONE, LIVING OR DEAD, INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF "GUNSMOKE".
Movie Review: like visiting with old friends you haven't seen in years
Summary: 4 Stars
Probably my second favorite tv series (after The Fugitive with David Janssen).
Lots of enjoyable viewing here, although I would have to say the two standouts would have to be Chesterland and The Bobsy Twins.
Dennis Weaver is excellent in the former, as are the two actors in the latter.
The Gunsmoke regulars worked so well off each other, something like a close-knit family, if you will, even with Doc and Festus bickering all the time (which was a kick to witness week-in/week-out, because it was all in fun and good humor.)
Sadly, most of the cast is gone now, moved on to greener pastures. At least we got 'em on DVD--where they live on.
Movie Review: It's a must if you like Gunsmoke
Summary: 4 Stars
It was good to go back and see the earlier versions of Gunsmoke with Chester. It's nice to look at the older episodes and find that they were as well done as the later ones. It's the best western ever in both the black and white or the color. If you like Gunsmoke you can't go wrong with this set of DVD"sMovie Review: Gunsmoke - 50th Anniversy Collection, Volume 1
Summary: 5 Stars
I am enjoying the Gunsmoke series very much. I grew up listening to Gunsmoke on the radio and then on TV. They are real holsome stories to watch. I can't stand the programs they have on TV today because it is all about violence so I watch these DVD's over and over again. I can't wait until more come out to purchase. I guess I have shown my age by this review but that is okay.

Movie Review: Facinating!
Summary: 5 Stars
I expected the actors to be younger than most of the episodes I have seen on TV but WOW!! These shows all have a totally different lead-in scene than the newer shows and the characters will blow you away. Matt, Miss Kitty, and Doc are very young!!! It will have you laughing at times listening to the conversations, especially Chester. Must have for Gunsmoke fans.
