I’ve watched every single episode. Took me 2 years to watch every episode, and I started watching Gunsmoke 2 years ago. I’m 36, so Gunsmoke Is still bringing in new fans!
I started watching just a few years ago too.
It is pretty awesome how some of these shows never get old and continue to attract new fans you’re after year. Thanks for sharing with us Ninnjette 😊👍
Watching reruns now. James Arness contacted me in 2009 when I advised him that I was one of his biggest Black fans since 1956 when we got our first television in South Carolina which had only one channel (of course we were only allowed to watch until 6:00pm and the adults watched until the station "signed off" at Midnight); but what fun it was to listen since it was a very, very small house.
That is awesome Rose. Thanks for sharing this memory with us 😊👍
How exciting to get a call from James Arness!! I envy you.
When you had to make do, when you had little of life's pleasures; those were the good times.😄
@@MrCJ-qz9dl So true!
How exciting. He had such a great speaking voice.
My favorite show. Still watching it. Excellent acting .
I watch it weekly
My absolute best show loved all characters enjoy all the reruns. Nothing on TV today can compare. That was great acting something you don’t see today!
My dad has been binge watching Gunsmoke the last few months. It’s one of his favorites. My favorite is definitely Festus.
Festus is my mother's favorite as well. She loves watching it, it's one of her favorite shows.
TV LAND SHOWS GUNSMOKE SO DOES INSP AND THE STREAMING SITE DAILY MOTION.
@@tanikawashington8246 hilih
@@tanikawashington8246 I really enjoyed Festus and his stories of his family and all their nicknames. Especially his exchanges with Doc. The orneriest Scudder ever to put a stethoscope on his ears.
Thanks for the photo of Dabbs Greer's final resting place. I met him on several occasions and he was a wonderful gentleman, as well as a fine actor.
That’s really nice to know. How cool that you got to meet him. Thanks for sharing that with us CH 😊👍
Yes. Funny when he gets pissed off.
Watched it as a child with my Daddy, now reruns come on....that is awesome!!
Thank you my friend I still watching it day thank you my friend
Thank you Donna 😊👍
I remember most of the Gunsmoke characters including Gloria Talbott. I also knew that Peter Graves and James Arness were brothers. Gunsmoke was a great show.
A true fan. Thanks for sharing Betty 👍
Yes, it was a great show, I especially liked Dennis Weaver
Loved gunsmoke watched a my dad lots of memories my fav was festus n his mule ruth
Good old Gunsmoke. A family favorite on Monday nights (CBS) at 8:00 P.M. I remember it in the mid 60's onward. I would dress in my cowboy outfit, strap two six guns and a Marx Rifle that looked like a Winchester and sit on the floor and help Matt Dillon shoot bad guys. I can still hear my dad saying at the conclusion: "Ok cowboy, off to bed." I can even remember some of the episodes having sad endings and making me cry as a kid. Another great video Steve.
WOW you do have such a great memory. I wonder how many TV sets back then were hit with BB guns 😳 thanks as always for sharing your memories with us Dr. Roberts 😊👍
Glenn Strange also appeared in the origin of the Lone Ranger...he played Butch Cavindish...an outlaw
Love gunsmoke
Wasn't born till 1958 but i love gunsmoke and still watch it on insp & me tv, thanks steve for the great memories.
Thanks for sharing with us Robert 😊👍

Thanks for coming along with me for the ride Mary. And yes my mom is doing pretty well at the moment. Thanks for asking 😊👍
Dennis Weaver was my grandmother's cousin so growing up we had to watch everything he was in. They were born in Joplin Missouri. My grandmother live to be a hundred and one she died four years ago.
Wow, that would be a fun cousin to have. And how awesome that your grandmother lived to 101 years! Thanks for sharing her memory with us Joy 😊👍
Thank you for showing Gunsmoke. My grandmother’s brother was Glenn Strange. 🥰
WOW how awesome. Thanks for sharing that with us Tammy. He sure has a lot of fans 😊👍
Wow. He seems like a great guy. Looked like he liked to play the fiddle, too.
Your grandmother's brother glenn strange must have been a wonderful man. The actress who played miss Kitty was so distraught when he died that she did not want to remain on the show.
Steve, you are the best by far when it comes to cemetery tours....Thank you sir....
Thanks Billy. That’s very nice of you to say 😊👍
This show brings back many happy memories. You create alot of happy feelings and create new memories.

When I was a kid - my mother watched the entire 20 years & listened to the prior radio Gun Smoke as long it was on! 😊
Thanks for sharing. They were a great cast. I remember watching the show from mid 60s until the end of the series.
Thank you so much for your videos. I only wish , I was able to travel like you. My wife and I made it out t Roy Rogers and Dale Evans grave last summer, from Michigan . He was my favorite cowboy when I was a kid.
Thanks again for all you do .
Glad to hear that you were able to visit his grave site in person too. I do feel very lucky to be able to make all of these trips. Thanks for sharing with us mustang 😊👍

I know what you mean. Thanks Sandra 😊👍
I've been watching Gunsmoke reruns for years.
Good job tracking the final resting places of the actors of Gunsmoke.
Thanks Mike 😊👍
I still watch Gunsmoke reruns (I have the whole collection) every night (2 episodes, 7 days a week) with my Uncle and my soon to be 90 year old Grandfather. We love the show and its given me countless hours of precious time with my Grandfather.
Thanks for doing this. I'm going to show it to him tonight. 👍
Wow, almost 90 years old! It’s so need to hear that all three of you were spending quality time together watching this classic show. Thanks for sharing this with us Shawn. And I hope your grandfather has an extra special happy birthday 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel thanks a million Steve. I just finished watching (this video) and I'll watch it with him (and my Uncle) tonight, either before or after Gunsmoke. 😉
We've watched almost the entire collection but we skipped a couple seasons because my Grandfather loves Festus. We had to skip ahead to season 10 from season 6.
It's amazing to hear Thad and Newly are still kickin. Good to hear. Also sad to hear Amanda Blake died so young. Always wanted her and Matt to get married. lol.
Anyway, thanks again. I look forward to checking out more of your work. 👍
I love Gunsmoke I watch it everyday. I think I have seen every episode. Thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks Jennifer. Glad you enjoy it!
Loved James arness. He. Was my favorite. Actior in. Gun. Smoke. Watched. Gun smoke for. Years
Thank you so much for this one, when I was young Gunsmoke was on after school everyday in the late 70s early 80s... When my dad was able to take a break from working on the farm in the afternoon and watch with us. We lost my dad in April... so seeing this now makes it extra special for me. Take care and all the best to you and your Mom.
So sorry to hear of your loss, Lorelle. Thanks for sharing your dad’s memory with us ❤️
RIP 🙏🏻 My Dad & I love our western programs! We watch Gunsmoke, The Rifleman, Bonanza, Wagon Train, The Big Valley & Little House On The Prairie everyday. GOTTA LOVE A GOOD WESTERN!
I was born in 75 so needless to say I didn’t see Gunsmoke when it was on BUT it’s my favorite show ever!! Thank you for doing this!
I have watched hundreds of the Gun Smoke shows! I grew up on Gun Smoke when I was a younger and watch many TV programs many times also and never ever got tired of Gun Smoke. It’s sad that all the cast is gone but stations like Pluto TV let’s you watch all of them for free, how great is that. I am 73 and love Gun Smoke as much now as I did when I was a youngster. Go Gun Smoke I love you! The show lives on and will forever as one of Best of the best ever! 🙏❤️
I have the complete collection with John "The Duke" Wayne introducing James Arness and The series " Gunsmoke" thank you
Thanks ldh 😊👍
Hi there 😊👋😊 Just wanted to say that it's so cool that you have the entire Gunsmoke series collection. I'd absolutely love to be able to get a hold of it myself as like so many other folks on here, I am a tremendous fan of the show as well.
We're still watching gunsmoke. , I remember watching this with my aunt when I was just a kid and now am 71 yrs of age and still watching in fact it's on now. ❤️
I loved Gunsmoke. I have seen most of the episodes for the series. I still watch reruns too. Never gets old. Thanks for finding most of them. Sad to think they are no longer with us. Life marches on. Give your mom a hug and stay safe out there. 🙂
It is amazing how some of these shows never get old. Unlike the rest of us 😊 thanks Pamela 👍
So many people that doesn't have a final resting place! Unbelievable. But! Those cemeteries in LA are full of actors, Glad that you are documenting it. We grew up watching at the same time. I miss those actors of old!
i know, it is sad, but it's also nice that we still remember them all and are still watching them on tv. thanks, mike!
Steve back in the 80's I worked in a Hallmark store in Pasadena, where I'm from, and Dabbs Greer,used to order his Printed Christmas cards from our store, he was a sweet man, and Kind .
That is so neat to hear. Thanks for sharing that with us Colleen 😊👍
So many great actors who enriched our lives and still do through the precious Reruns we still get to see. Those characters were beloved by so many because of the Excellent acting, scripts and believable background. I will never tire of watching these episodes.
I'm 74 I started watching with my dad then. And on the radio
I didn't get to see the whole 20yrs but I remember about 10yrs of the show and still watch the show today, so many great people playing on the show!! I'll have to say that one of my favorites that you didn't mention is "Dirty Sally " played by Jeanette Nolan, what a great actress, thanks for sharing and big hugs for mom and as always "Howdy from Texas "!!
Thanks for mentioning her Greg. Hopefully I will do a part two at some point and include her then 😊👍
Gunsmoke was my favorite TV show. I don't know if I've seen every single episode but pretty close to it. Which of course means I'm old. One of my favorite episodes is "Dirty Sally".
LOL join the club 😊 thanks for sharing with us lambhill 👍
Yes I have watched every episode, many of them more than once. Played on the indoor set at CBS when I was little. 🤠 great video.
Dabs Greer was on many Perry Mason episodes also. My wife and I watch Perry almost every weeknight.
He was one very busy actor. Seems like he was in just about everything back then. Thanks for sharing this with us Jody 😊👍
Thank you for showing this. We watch gunsmoke everyday actually several times a day. One of our very favorite shows
Thanks for sharing with us Brenda 😊👍
I love Gunsmoke, it's one of my favoriteTV shows. I watch the reruns whenever they're on but I have never seen any of the Gunsmoke movies air on TV. I loved all the characters. I just always wished Matt would've married Kitty.
I love, love Gunsmoke still do, the reruns. I use to wish I could go party with them at the Long Branch Saloon. I would grab me a couple of Budweisers and chill in front of the TV.
Wasn't born til 1957 so didn't see them all! But one of my best childhood memories is curling up on the sofa with my father to watch Gunsmoke every week. Still catch an episode or two on TVLand now and then. Gotta love that show. Thanks for the memories!
thanks for sharing that special memory with us, ak!
Mr buck I was born in 57 also most of my life watching the series until I went to Vietman in 75 was was sad I didn't get to see the last year while i was in the service. My mom and dad was watching it until they passaway 2011 and 2013 ..
Gunsmoke was perfectly cast, Marshall Dillon, Doc Adams, Miss Kitty, but I dearly loved Festus! I still watch Gunsmoke and still love it, I also loved Sam! Thanks for taking us along, I so enjoyed it!
I watch gun smoke all the time. My friends laugh at me because I'm 19 and love westerns. I even watch Jonh Wayne movies
My parents watched it beginning to end many times. I was born in 1967, so I remember watching reruns with them, still watch the show to this day. Thank you for another great video, well done and presented. Always brings back great childhood memories.
Thanks for sharing your memories with us, Staci!
Me and my wife watch Gunsmoke everyday while eating supper and my mom and dad did the same until they both passaway and we share this with our son and grandsons to pass it on to do the same.
What a great tradition John. Thanks for sharing this with us 😊👍
MR. Strange also played Butch Cavendish on the Lone Ranger.
Yep
I learned about Gunsmoke because of my husband(He cannot go to bed without watching it first). Now I'm obsessed with it too🤣. Thanks for the well presented video 👍
Yes, it’s very addictive. Thanks for sharing with us Alex 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel You're very welcome Steve
Another great vlog. I enjoy your travels and your down to earth tone. You also take us places most of cant get to and I thank you for that. You and Jordan The Lion are the nice guys on You Tube that provide a great service . You two should collaborate sometime. Anyway thanks again for a great vlog.
Thanks for saying that Dana. That’s really nice of you. It is funny that you should mention Jordan. We’ve been texting for the past two months trying to get together, but so far our schedules have not been in sync. Hopefully soon 😊👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel That would be great.. Hope it works out..
I bought all 20 seasons and 5 movies right when covid hit. Got me through the lockdowns.
Ah the good old days, "Westerns"! Great video Steve thank you!
Festus was my favorite...love gunsmoke
Oh yes a very good show my Mom loved it for many years. I liked all the characters but Festus was my fav. Have a great weekend!
Yes, he was great. Thanks Sondra and you too 😊👍
Golly Bill
This is very nice to know where the Gunsmoke cast is buried or cremated. I loved the show and still watch every day. James Arness was an icon and I will love him always. God bless them all.
Might be a long time till we see another television series run 20 years. I know Memory Lane Trips With Steve is good for another 20 !! :)
LOL i’m surprised that I made it three years 😂 it is actually getting more fun each year I do this channel. So you never know 😊 thanks Tom 👍
Re: Gunsmoke's run.
In 1955 I was in grade school, 5th grade. Graduated from high school in 1962. Was married in 1965. Our only child was born in 1967. In 1968 went to work for the company I retired from 25 years later.
I was a loyal Gunsmoke viewer for all those years.
As usual I enjoyed your video so much. Thanks for posting.
it's amazing how a tv show can be such a big part of our lives for so many years. thanks for sharing these memories with us, joyousonex!
I watched many an episode with my parents though mostly in the 1970s. I think the scenes with Festus and Doc arguing with each other were my favorite part of the show.
By the time the show ended, Doc Adams probably cared for more gunshot victims than any other MD in the USA. After Gunsmoke, Adams relocated his practice to prohibition era Chicago where shootings were rampant.
LOL, so true :-) thanks for the laugh, raymond!
I love gun smoke matter fact me my husband watching it now we watch it gather every night DOC he my favorite out all them
Gunsmoke is one of our family favorites. We usually watch a few episodes every day. I'm a huge fan of Miss Kitty. My standard poodle is named Kitty. I like to think that she got her sass & spunk from Miss Kitty.
😊
Thank You Steve Matt Dillon Always Been My Hero. From Eddie Franklin Athens Alabama
I bumped into Milburn Stone as he was leaving the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs in the early '60s. A few years later my dad was in Las Vegas in one of the hotel bars and found Ken Curtis having a drink there. I'd first seen him in the TV show Rip Cord.
Wow, you really work hard to get your information!! I'm an Historian and I am impressed at your hard work!! I love Gun Spoke, it still comes on! Yay! I heard that Gone with the Wind cant be shown anymore on TV, I think Turner Classic Movies ownes most of the classics, it's a Shane that GWTW, cant be aired anymore, I wonder if Gun Smoke Will offend some people and it won't be shown anymore, well as long as I have a DVD player, I'm watching GWTW, and any thing else that I want to watch. Thanks for sharing another great video, I hope that your mom is well, and you too. You're great!!, God bless you. 😊🌴🍭🌺🌷🌻
Thanks Julie and mom is hanging in there. Thanks for asking 😊👍
It's a good thing a lot of us have the DVD of, GWTW!!
i watched gunsmoke as a child. it was my papa favorite program. it brings so many happy times back.
Claude Akins , was in 10 episodes of GUNSMOKE. I love the show. Over the years I've seen every episodes.

Thanks Jody 😊👍
Thanks steve for always teaching us such cool things about all these famous celebrities
Thanks for watching A S! I learned something new from his trip too 😊👍
Buck Taylor's dad is Dub Taylor, an actor. Ken Curtis was a member of "The Sons of the Pioneers", and former son-in law of John Ford, director. His ashes were spread on the prairie near his ranch in Fresno. (My sister worked for the animal doctor who took care of his dog). Supposedly, James Arness and John Wayne were friends,; that's why Wayne gave the opening intro to Gunsmoke's first season.
I was a little girl when gun smoke came on my Daddy always watched it
Thank you.
I
Thank you for panning around to help show the locations. That has helped to find locations before.
I know, it really helps me a lot too. I’m always surprised when I get comments from viewers telling me to stop panning. Thanks Lynn 👍
Interesting trivia - John Wayne was 6' 4" tall, but James Arness was 6'7" tall!
Miss. James arness. A. True. Hero in. Real. Life
Watching it now in reruns. Love it!!
What a nice tribute to these wonderful actors and days gone by! Great memories of watching Gunsmoke as a young girl! Thank you!
We watched Gunsmoke as far back as I can remember...but not quite alive yet when it started! What a show it was. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for sharing with us Tom 😊👍
Thank you so much for this vlog Steve! Gunsmoke is my personal all time favorite tv show,and yes I have seen every episode but not the original airings (VHS,DVD,and a local tv station that played an episode every night after the local news). I am such a big fan that both my kids are named after the main character (Matthew & Dillon). All your vlogs are great but this one was a little bit more special!
Wow, that is awesome! A true fan. Thanks for sharing this with us kejola 😊👍
I was watching Gunsmoke when this video showed up. Thank you💕
Good timing. Thanks for watching Shawna 😊👍
I always love how you have your videos themed. It’s great. Thanks so much for another cemetery visit. Your channel is one of my favorites.
from the beginning, i noticed that my viewers always liked my themed videos the best, but they were my least favorite to do because they were so time consuming. over time, they've gotten easier to do and now i enjoy doing them. i'm glad you enjoy them and thanks for the feedback, Whitt!
Gunsmoke is one of my favorite shows even now. I have a DVR full of nothing but Gunsmoke. I have my own mancave bar on my back porch. My favorite thing to do is make a drink, light a cigar and watch Mat Dillon save the day. Thanks for the video.
Steve, the two.Arness/Graves Brothers lived right behind my parents as.teenagers in Minneapolis and when my parents needed a "sitter" they would usually have James come over & once in a while Peter. Very nice guys! My brother just passed Nov. 23rd, 2021. Loved listening to his story's since l am 11 yrs younger never got to see them. Enjoy your videos greatly. Thanks for sharing your memories as well. ♥️
Loved Gun Smoke.
I watched everyone of gunsmoke loved it
