Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I just saw this posted over at TVshowsOnDVD.com You have got to be kidding me!! They are going to split up the Gunsmoke seasons. They will never get them all out now. It is impossible. I can see maybe, even though I don't like it, spliting up seasons of hour length shows, but half hour, come on that is crazy. This really makes me angry.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I wonder what it's gonna take for the studios to wake up and realize people hate split season sets. Maybe if people made it a point to boycott them, that would send a message.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I wonder if that's a typo of some sort originating from CBS? Until I see more detailed information, I'm holding out hope for a full season. The release schedule seems to be on the semi-fast track, like Hawaii 5-0 and Mission: Impossible, so it doesn't seem like they would get cold feet at this point.

People tried the bocott method with "The Big Valley: Season 2, Vol. 1" and all it meant was no more Big Valley on DVD.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
Gunsmoke Season 1 was excellent (39 episodes)
Gunsmoke Season 2 (39 episodes in total)
I won't be buying Volume Sets-Period!
The only time I would buy volume sets would be for CHEYENNE.
Volume Sets, as far as I am concerned,are for die-hard fans-only.
If they want my business,then they should scrap volume sets.
If not ,then they can go to "Boot Hill".

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I agree! I can't believe they are splitting a season of 39 half hour episodes!
What will the cost be?

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
(Sigh) Now it's going to cost me twice as much to collect this series. Can't these companies do ANYTHING right? This way they will either make a killing in profit or they will effectively bury the series. Well CBS, you got me by the balls again. It looks like I'll be collecting this any which way I can.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I love Gunsmoke so much that obviously I am going to keep buying the sets, but I just don't understand splitting seasons on 30 minute shows. Can anyone else give me an example of any other 1/2 hour series that this has happened to or is this a very bad precedent.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
If they split seasons, it would be the same amount of material as 10 hour long shows, 4 or 5 shows less than their usual split with hour long shows. I wonder if it'll have any affect on the price, if it'll be the same as their other split seasons; Perry Mason, The Untouchables, Rawhide, The Fugitive.
On Amazon, it's still listed as Gunsmoke: Season 2.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
I wonder if somehow this is a mistake, and tvshowsondvd got a bad scoop. Has anyone seen this verified anywhere else. I'm hoping that somehow Gunsmoke got mixed up with another show.

Re: Gunsmoke Season Two - Volume One
It seems odd, considering that the SRP of Season 1 was just $39.98, and a half-season would amount to just three discs, unless they padded it out. It wouldn't seem cost-effective to cut it down any lower than that...
