    This has to be one of the best episodes ever written by John Meston!! He was a genius!! I loved a lot of CBS radio shows, but GUNSMOKE was arguably the best! Just awesome writing!! 👍

    Try watching these with the subtitles on, it's hilarious to see what the computer thinks they're saying with their old west accents.

    Originally broadcast on September 20, 1954. John Meston's title is exactly what you think it is.

    That wacky Chester really f**ked up! Hard to believe CBS went with this title.

      When doesn’t Chester fuck up?

    I'm surprised Chester didn't at least get fired.

    • @fromthesidelines

      Matt didn't fire him because he makes the same kind of mistakes, too.

      He's been shot too many times, he's got a job for life.

      The bad guy gets away and/or crimes are unsolved all the time. It's reality.

      Yes, but nothing is reality in Hollywood. It's all fake.

    I know these stories were often base off real life tales but I wish they would have jassed up the ending a little more.

    • @howardoller443

      It's more of a realistic ending, not unlike some episodes of Dragnet.

    Spoiler Alert!
    Good story with an unexpected ending. This time, forgiving a friend was more important than getting the bad guys. We all know Matt got 'em sooner or later anyway.

    Chesterfield once I was really drunk and a ghy was smoking chesterfield so I asked him for a smoke well he played a trick on me and gave me a dry dog turd between the two the turd was superior in every way

    The banker acts like Dillon's job is to stay in town and patrol Dodge full-time. The duties of US Marshalls were exactly the opposite of that. Enforcing local law was the job of the sheriff and/or a city police force.
    Edit: Btw I'm not sure the acronym FU even existed in the '50s, at least I never heard it though the phrase "fk up" was certainly in use. This title sounds like something a 21st-century uploader would arbitrarily assign to the episode.

      No, it’s the real title. There was an episode of the TV show with the same name in 1959.

      The cringe comedy in those shorts was such that they hurt to watch.
