i remember the first episode when Milburn Stone returned to the show following his heart attack. Festus was the first one who found him back at his office--the joy Festus showed must have been so real to the actors....
Yeah but I’ll never liked how they dumb to Festus up so much the longer he was on the show with fastest first got on the show he was smart brash they took all that from Kim Curtis and I don’t like it and you know Roger Ewing quit acting because of Gunsmoke
That’s when TV was great! Back then we had three channels and could find good shows on just about anytime! Now we have two or three hundred channels and can’t find anything!
Crapload of channels, Big screens hi definition. But nothing on. You got that right. There was more on back when we had furniture model tvs and fewer channels.
This clip is great. Gunsmoke had the best writers, actors, & production, I can see how it had lasted over 20 years/seasons. All of the primary actors are all dead may they RIP.
The network heads wife loved the show kept it on after most of the network wanted it gone. Love to see who is on the show as character actors. So many were on Twilight Zone, Waltons, MASH, etc.
I remember an episode where Festus asked Doc a question. He said Doc, I got something I want to ask you. If a doctor got sick, and another doctor came to doctor the doctor and he got sick, would the doctor who came to doctor the doctor still doctor the doctor? Or would the doctor who was being doctored by the doctor, doctor the doctor that came to doctor the doctor? The scary thing was, I understood what he was trying to say!
My favorite argument between those two was when Festus said he wished fingers had eyeballs on the end of them so he could just poke his finger around the corner of a building without getting shot, and Doc went crazy on him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the "rivalry" between Festus and Doc Adams. They argued a lot, but they loved each other (As friends) As seen in some episodes where one or the other thought the other was going to die.
So glad to find this clip. It was always one of my favorite Festus/doc moments and I always remembered it. Also liked another one where Festus was saying, "It's so blame cold outside. I'll tell you how cold it is. I put a pot of boiling water out so's to cool it down and make myself some coffee, and i'll be dad-burned if it ain't so cold it froze that boiling water so fast, the ice was warm".
@@sergiogalindo3024 I watch it in INSP channel. All day long nothing but old westerns.....Dead or Alive, Bonanza, Big Valley, Rawhide. Nothing but the good old western re-runs & a bowl of butter popcorn!!
my dad didn't watch many westerns when they were on TV (though he loved good western movies), but he always watched Gunsmoke...largely because of Doc and Festus.
@@blockmasterscott hmmm I liked Chester.. took me while to warm up to Festus... maybe if they had called him .. well, anything but Festus! LOL. Maybe Dwayne?
now THAT is when we had real law enforcement. the fact is that this former what used to be a country is founded on and based upon concepts long lost. the pioneers that formed the west and the culture? ALL would be instantly locked up and stored away. Not a single one by todays standards could even be employed. and we wonder why the people are on the streets. ALL are locked out of the job market-NOT ONE would be considered employable. will be glad when this cesspool falls --HOPE I AM STILL ALIVE TO SEE IT
Festus was A1 as a friend and will drop his guns to fight 5 people. That's my homie on Gunsmoke man that what showed me how to be a friend to a friend. Aaaayyyyeeee. 👍 💪
I love Festus! He and Doc are so funny when they argue! There was one episode where Festus was putting too much sugar in his coffee because he wasn't paying attention to what was going on and he took a sip, and said, "Bad Coffee!" Hysterical!!
These segments came about when they had time to fill. Even when Matt wasn't the principal in the episode, he would do these to keep his in every episode mark in tact.
Elizabeth Linsay Check this song out before Ken Curtis becane Festus. It's here on TH-cam. Noah's Dove, im sure you will like it very much . I know I do ! He had a beautiful voice .
Check out 'westerns on the web' they used to have full epi's of gunsmoke for free. They have a youtube channel as well, but not sure how many gunsmokes are uploaded on the YT channel. For sure, they have tons of classi full length western shows and movies
I was a teenager when Chester left the show and didn't watch Gunsmoke after that. But came across reruns of Gunsmoke with Festus....what a bad move on my part to not watch them when they first came on. Festus was a Riot! I just love that character so much.
Buy a lot of land My grandpa Smith bought land in 1880 for 50 cents a are Plus you could homestead I live on land bought in 1880 and it is from that era in time
Ol'Festus could get under Doc's skin real quick! I grew up watching Gunsmoke from the mid'60s. Here lately have been watching the early episodes with Chester and Quirt.
I have seen every episode several times...It's tragic there is nothing worth a gob of spit on TV these days. Another great series was Cimmaron Strip...It only lasted one season; but every episode and good scripts, acting and production values. The cast was perfect and Stuart Whitman was well cast as Marshall Jim Crown. All in all, I think it was better than Gunsmoke.
I Love Gunsmoke but I'll tell ya what...the Half Hour Epps are Amazing. Not to take anything away from the Hour ones. (They're great too!) But the Story - Telling is so Great that I bet 80% of the Scripts are based on True Stories. Speaking of Westerns...last year was the 1st Time I heard that John Wayne actually met the real, "Wyatt Earp" in person when John was quite young. I would have Loved to have seen that on Tape or Audio!
I believe that any or most of the scripts are definitely about events that very likely could have happened. In that time period men were trigger happy with guns. So this is why I believe there is a definite realism to the stories. And the way that men viewed women...I see her..she talked to me ...I want to marry her...Simple.
The dialogue between these two...
Always so natural it just didn't even seem scripted! hilarious!
they often didn't need a script. this is scripted, obviously. but they'd done these scenes so many times, they could, and did, ad-lib.
Festus and Doc always fussing with one another but when trouble hits they've got each other's backs! That's rare . Great show
i remember the first episode when Milburn Stone returned to the show following his heart attack. Festus was the first one who found him back at his office--the joy Festus showed must have been so real to the actors....
Easily one of the best tv series for years.
The greatest cast. The greatest show ! GUNSMOKE
Still watch reruns every day.
Doc was so good in this one ... looked like he was going to cry at the end, Great Acting for both of them.
I met Ken Curtis at the State Fair rodeo many years ago - he was a true gentleman.
I watch Gunsmoke daily love this show deeply.
Me to
Ricky Cochran I do too , on MeTv.
Yep. METV Monday through Saturday at high noon
Yep we do too 👍
I love me some Bessie Smith ...that lady could belt it out
Ken Curtis and Milburn Stone really made that show. Festus and Doc's relationship was true blue.
Yeah but I’ll never liked how they dumb to Festus up so much the longer he was on the show with fastest first got on the show he was smart brash they took all that from Kim Curtis and I don’t like it and you know Roger Ewing quit acting because of Gunsmoke
That’s when TV was great! Back then we had three channels and could find good shows on just about anytime! Now we have two or three hundred channels and can’t find anything!
Double D yeah you have to go back and find the shows that were on when we had 3 stations!!!! And you might find something to watch

I agree. I grew up watching that show with my Dad!
Hey dummy, thats what he said.

I want to buy land for a dollar.
@@bobbywall172
Can't be many left. I discovered the show about a year ago and like it and I am almost 50.
@@bobbywall172 so is the actor who played Thad
Love it when these two argue
Yup... that was better than even Abott & Costello's WHO's on First.
@@faithrada
Aww.... You beat me to it!
Me to
Yes
Sensational entertainment like we'll never see again!!!!!!
Amen. Best pure TV available in my life time
Reminiscent of "Who's on first?"
Classics.
Exactly! I just posted the same thing.
One of the best actors in the business , go festus! I don't want to slight doc he was one of a kind!
Bobby Wall All of the actors from Gunsmoke from 1965 to 1975 were great. That was the best 10 years of its 20 year run!!!!!
And voice like an angel.
I really miss them all..
Kenny Curtis was a gem.
@@scottmiller6495 I didn't care for Thad's character.
Two GREAT actors! Miss them both.
One of my favorite shows, that was hilarious

Deb
Of course...Festus was totally logical. I have wondered if they followed a script or if this was ad libbed.?
That was a great one to watch , Festus the one & only ! !
Wonder how many times they had to do that particular scene without someone cracking up laughing.
@@cathytudor3932
Probably a bunch.
My favorite argument between those two was when Festus said he wished fingers had eyeballs on the end of them so he could just poke his finger around the corner of a building without getting shot, and Doc went crazy on him. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And your mouth on top of your head, so you could put your dinner under your hat and eat while you were still riding your horse. 😂😆🤣
@@haulem OMG, I forgot about that! 🤣🤣🤣
I live 8 miles from Milburn Stones birth place in the middle of Kansas, no big deal, just kinda hard to work into a conversation
Everybody loved Festus...Ken Curtis was a very talented man!
Loved the "rivalry" between Festus and Doc Adams. They argued a lot, but they loved each other (As friends) As seen in some episodes where one or the other thought the other was going to die.
So many good old memories... love this show till the day I die.... good bless all of the actors in gunsmoke!!!!
Better than SNL
By a lot
A labotomy is more entertaining than SNL.
So glad to find this clip. It was always one of my favorite Festus/doc moments and I always remembered it. Also liked another one where Festus was saying, "It's so blame cold outside. I'll tell you how cold it is. I put a pot of boiling water out so's to cool it down and make myself some coffee, and i'll be dad-burned if it ain't so cold it froze that boiling water so fast, the ice was warm".
Listening to Festus and Doc argue in that clip is almost like Abbott and Costello doing "Who's on First". Real priceless.
What so many of us enjoy is not how fast Matt Dillion draw, but the flavor Festus and Doc add to each episode. Nadine S.
That is pure gold. And probably a true quote from the Panhandle folks.
PammyT...
I wish youd answer cause that had me laughing for real...
The way you wrote that was perfect.
There is a place in Heaven for good 'ol Festus Haggin, yes sir.
This sounds like "Who's on First"!
I just asked you a simple question, no need for you to lie” 😂😂😂😂😂
One of my all-time favorite Gunsmoke scenes! 🤣
You just can’t argue with logic like that.
I sure miss Gunsmoke!! Thank goodness for reruns!! I watch every evening on the rerun channel.
Rerun channel!?
ForTheLoveOfBenji!
I watch on TV Land!

Festus says" I ain't a storyin' to ya!"
Thanks for the post.bes lovin'some Gunsmoke.......

🤣🤣🤣This is probably one of the funniest scenes in television history!
Better than Chester by a whole "LOT" !
By leaps & bounds. Festus ROCKS!!!! + he rides a mule.
DM, you are absolutely right.
Every episode is well scripted, written, & used top-drawer actors.
if they had just given Festus a little better name... seriously.
I hated Chester. Ugh.
@@blockmasterscott hmmm I liked Chester.. took me while to warm up to Festus... maybe if they had called him .. well, anything but Festus! LOL. Maybe Dwayne?
my favorite festus line "if you dont give him the 2 bits for boardin that horse I am going to pick up that pitchfork and poke you full of holes"

Doc and Festus were classic together, As was Doc and Chester.
Festus better
@@denworley16 I agree, Though it was funny how Chester used to irritate Matt.
Gun smoke rules!!!😋
that could've been an Abbott and Costello skit LOL
I watch this at least once a year
Festus was A1 as a friend and will drop his guns to fight 5 people. That's my homie on Gunsmoke man that what showed me how to be a friend to a friend. Aaaayyyyeeee. 👍 💪

# 1 SHOW. # 1 ACTORS ..👍👍🙏
he's awesome , lov the show ;))
Bilking and gouging. I just wanted to see that in print. Classic and too funny
Love "Gunsmoke", still watchin'!
Blue I watched it when i was growning up. Im 73 now and I still watch it on MeTv.
My favorite show, god bless those people on gun smoke.
The relationship between Doc and Festus reminds me a lot of the relationship between Dr. McCoy and Spock.
Yes, come to think of it ....
These segments came about when they had time to fill. Even when Matt wasn't the principal in the episode, he would do these to keep his in every episode mark in tact.
They were a Great Pair, love Gunsmoke!!
Have remembered this scene for a long time 🙂 Glad it found me 😂😂😂
I just watched it again for the humpteen dozen times! Laughed just as hard as the first time! Is something wrong with me?😜
Check out the one where Festus says "There's a Twisty a comin"....lol
Watch it 6 days a week at high noon on METV
Copy that 5.3!
Classic Doc and Festus. Love it.
This is GOLD!
Gunsmoke was very progressive for it's time. It covered topics not usually dealt with back then like sexual assault. And the acting was very good.
Elizabeth Linsay Check this song out before Ken Curtis becane Festus. It's here on TH-cam.
Noah's Dove, im sure you will like it very much . I know I do ! He had a beautiful voice .
the script writer was great with the lines between Festus and Doc!!!!
I laughed a whole lot at that little scene 😁😆😂🤣🤠🧐
This is like Who's On First, and totally believable
Classic Doc and Festus!
Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous!!
The GREATEST show on earth! The GREATEST characters....Gunsmoke # 1 Show !
That is basically says go buy some land and get out of Dodge
This is an awesome clip. I love it. 👍👍
Hi, Abbot and Castello!!!! One of my all time favorite westerns.
That's a whole lot of little beers for a whole little lot of money.
Love the vaudeville style banter.
Gunsmoke is my favorite western series of all, Festus and Doc’s bickering cracks me up 😂😂😂
love it when doc says im done worn out!
Thanks Doc n Festus. .
want full series of gunsmoke
Check out 'westerns on the web' they used to have full epi's of gunsmoke for free. They have a youtube channel as well, but not sure how many gunsmokes are uploaded on the YT channel. For sure, they have tons of classi full length western shows and movies
If he don’t rub his hand across his mouth, it ain’t Doc.
Lol a lot of what I'm dying here.
There's also the one where Festus asks Doc, Does a feller know how to read what he wrote?
He he. Great show! Still love to watch it.
They might argue...but you KNOW they had each other's back, the way arguing friends always do.
"Doc and Festus?"...priceless. ❤
Reminds me of the Abbott and Costello Who's on first bit.
Classic!
It took some time for me to get use to Festus after Chester. But by golly....did the dialogue ever run out?😂😂😂
I was a teenager when Chester left the show and didn't watch Gunsmoke after that. But came across reruns of Gunsmoke with Festus....what a bad move on my part to not watch them when they first came on. Festus was a Riot! I just love that character so much.

That is amazing.
Festus Haggens
Gunsmoke is Thee show to me for the rest of my life Gunsmoke is my show💯
Back when TV was good and life was a little easier or was it a lot easier
Yes sir
Today was about outlaw that looked like Festus good one
Saw that too. Good one.
Two of the best, of the best ……………………… period!
Hilarious!!!!!
Ah, back then screenwriters could write dialogue
Very nice look down memory lane
Classic. Pure and simple.
Ol'Festus could get under Doc's skin real quick! I grew up watching Gunsmoke from the mid'60s.
Here lately have been watching the early episodes with Chester and Quirt.
They sounds like Abbott and Costello 😂😂🏃😂
LOL! It's like Whose On Third. Take that dollar and squander it on a beer and don't share it with Doc.
How could anyone give this a thumbs down ?
Holy mackerel I feel like I'm right there sitting in front of the Long Branch saloon😛
I just saw this yesterday on MeTV
Like him a lot!!!
Good one today continued tomorrow Festus stranded in dessert
