I am a huge western genre TV show fan but have never liked "Gunsmoke" having only seen the 60 minute long color episodes. This despite critics, fans and actors/actresses speaking glowingly about the show.
Having now viewed the first six seasons, all 30 minute BW episodes, I now see what all the fuss is about; adult themes, even for the 1950s, tight storytelling and surprising plots. This is as advertised.
My highest reccomendation but only for the first six seasons.
