You were almost correct about the number of total sets there would be as singles-- there was the first half-hour season (1955-56) that was presented as one release, then the next 14 (1956-70) were done in the volumes (28 sets), and the last five (1970-75) were single releases once more, for a...

Today is the posthumous centennial of a classic television legend!

Must be flying through it!

If you're almost 1/6 of the way through that quickly, I'm pretty sure you're enjoying it.

1985 Jeopardy! ad from that Herald-Journal, when the show as we knew it for more than 3.5 decades w/the late, great Alex Trebek was in its 2nd year (it stayed at the same time slot all the time on 13 WLOS, and IIRC, still does w/the newer people); does not have Alex Trebek in it, though, but...

Why does CBS do better on menus than Warner Bros.?

In other words, basically, it was as true then as it is now (or vice versa), I take it?

Most of mine starts in the 50s-- several excellent series from that decade on DVD.

I certainly agree-- however, a couple of my favorites of that time (The Untouchables and M Squad) did have some violence, but in the case of those, such violence added to the story (and it wasn't gratuitous like now, or graphic; hardly any language either). But even so, violence for the sake...

That's what I thought! You made the right choice in getting that omnibus-- IMO, purchasing the first full seasonal, and then the volumes of the next three, would have taken more money and time (first purchasing, and then waiting for them to be with you), whereas this omnibus can have you...

The first four B/W gos-- do you have those in the omnibus 4-season collected release?

I take it then that they had it at the end where the man whose leg was amputated was shown adjusting to the aftermath thereto (I may be incorrect).

Glad you have all of Gunsmoke right at your fingertips-- the way you describe it, no wonder it became one of the true classics of CBS, and of broader television!

If they did, that veritably might have been unheard of for the time, I think.

Does that mean that nobody knew about them, or wanted to buy them? (Just a guess on my part as to what that means.)

And I feel the same way about the CBS-owned shows that I like (The Streets of San Francisco, Have Gun, Will Travel, and The Untouchables). One thing about that Gunsmoke all-in-one: is it longer and wider than the footprint of all the seasonal releases (regular and volume) put together, or is it...

Another good question-- I know that at least the first go of Hogan's Heroes has it (outside of the B/W pilot), so I would imagine that those Gunsmoke seasons would have it (might be incorrect, though).

I think that is a very likely one-- after all, if you're a Gunsmoke fan, and you can have it all on DVD (and not have to bother w/the classic television cable/satellite networks and commercials thereto), why wouldn't you jump at the chance?

Which Steve Forrest would be in as well, as gangster Art Styles, who takes a schoolteacher hostage while he watches out the schoolteacher's window for a clear shot at a witness that Stone and Keller are trying to protect.

And there have been bigger releases than that, according to him-- one being a Star Trek release that had somewhat over 200 discs (all the series, at the very least [outside of the animated series] and the feature films; that's just what I heard in this clip [I might be incorrect]).

Unboxing on CBS' Gunsmoke all-in-one (remarkably expansive, 143 discs; also a very sturdy box to hold everything, according to this reviewer)

I think that once that expansive all-in-one is released, they should put out a 13-15 megapak on its own.

Glad that 20th and final go came in for you! I'm sure your now complete Gunsmoke collection will give you never-ending pleasure.

I'm sure the same thing was said by a lot of others about not only that, but also about Michael Douglas leaving from The Streets of San Francisco at the end of the fourth go, and the late Richard Hatch coming in for the fifth and final one.

From EBay: a peek inside three of the multi-season collections made of Gunsmoke (the first one [Seasons 1-4] with the first four half-hour gos; the second one [Seasons 5-7] with the remaining half-hour gos, and the first hour go; and the third one [Seasons 8-9] with the second and third of the...

Thanks for noticing-- I am autistic, and (unless I'm mistaken) a lot of people like myself seem to have that skill.

Appreciate that! I'm glad you solved the riddle-- I thought you, for some odd reason, had not gotten the back half of that fifteenth go.

Scanned the shelf-- where's the back half of that fifteenth go (1970)?

You're probably right, massive as that thing will be!

It does, and it'll make it to where it'll have to be hand-carried by the Amazon carrier (big as that release is slated to be).
