Gunsmoke has been re-airing on Encore Westerns every weeknight for the past year. My kids, ages 8 and 4 think it is the greatest show ever. Every night after dinner we watch an episode together. R.I.P. Mr. Arness.

Yep he was a great guy. We also lived for Gunsmoke when we were kids. I saw a series of interviews he did one time they were really neat. Anyone else ever see them?

Same here. One of my earliest memories as a little tyke was going over to my Uncle Dewey's house on Saturday night and watching Gunsmoke.
