RE: I haven't watched it since the fifties and sixties

My only memories of Gunsmoke are from the early 1970's. My father and my uncle (both passed)were avid fans ... they never missed an episode.

I don't remember watching the half hour episodes (syndicated) on TV in my youth ... not sure if they were aired or not ... I do remember the color hour episodes.

As stated in my earlier post ... John Meston was one hell of a writer. He often "implied" things in his stories ... you had to draw your own conclusions.

The other night I was watching Season 3- Episode 89- "Fingered" First aired on CBS 11/23/1957.

Plot summary: Jim Cobb comes to town to marry a woman from back East. Hank accuses Jim of murdering his first wife then of murdering his second wife. Hank doesn't like Jim because Jim got a claim on some land before him.

After watching the show ... ask yourself ... who was telling the truth?

Marshal Dillon believed Jim Cobb ... as the casual viewer to show would believe. But ... spoiler alert *** Jim Cobb was telling Mat "his story" about how his second wife died (filmed scene). So was the filmed scene reality? ... or just a clever contrived tale? If Cobb's story was true ... why was he so quick to leave town?
