Gunsmoke - The Complete First Season (DVD, 2007)

This set consolidates the original Columbia House mail order (six disc) series into one package. The video quality is the same as the mail order series. The pilot episode which is introduced by none other than "THE DUKE" John Wayne is interesting due to the fact that while its decent, you would never believe that a twenty year series evolved from it. When watching this series remember that the producers, writers and actors all had parents which were born in the 1800's which gives first hand perspective into the 19th century. The story lines are basic and no frills just like the 19th century was so join Matt, Chester, Galen(Doc) and Miss Kitty for a western adventure which was to last twenty years. P.S., don't look for Festus, he was still an outlaw as well as a few years away from joining the cast! FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
