Gunsmoke S 4 Ep 6 Thoroughbreds

[zeawesomebirdie]

This is probably just me not knowing how to utilise google correctly but WHY is it so hard to find Western novels about gay men that aren't romance novels

Then, feeling better than he had all day, he ran down the stairs to watch Marshal Dillon and Festus.

Top 10 List: My Favorite Shows to Watch with Daddies in Them

10. Frasier (TV Series 1993–2004)

Dr. Frasier Crane moves back to his hometown of Seattle, where he lives with his father and works as a radio psychiatrist.

John Mahoney was hot in this show.

9. Fringe (TV Series 2008–2013)

An F.B.I. agent is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist and his son in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.

This is the show that got me liking John Noble.

8. Walker, Texas Ranger (TV Series 1993–2001)

Cordell Walker and his partner, James Trivette, are Texas Rangers. They make it their business to battle crime in Dallas and all around the state of Texas.

Yeah… Chuck Norris kicking ass was great, but Noble Willingham was real reason I watched this show. Well… him and his ass.

7. Gunsmoke (TV Series 1955–1975)

Marshal Matt Dillon keeps the peace in rough-and-tumble Dodge City.

As a kid, I watched this for the gun fights. Now I watch it for James Arness, Ken Curtis, Amanda Blake and Milburn Stone.

6. Father Dowling Mysteries (TV Series 1989–1991)

An amiable, inquisitive Chicago priest moonlights as a detective and is assisted by a rather worldly, lock-picking nun.

Tom Bosley as a priest. Yeah… I'm watching this.

5. Matlock (TV Series 1986–1995)

Ben Matlock is a very expensive criminal defense attorney, who charges one hundred thousand dollars to take a case. Fortunately, he's worth every penny, as he and his associates defend his clients by finding the real killer.

Love to watch Andy Griffith's progression from the beginning of the series from a tall, gray haired man to a short, silver haired chub. I kid you not, by the end of the series, he looked shorter and definitely fatter.

4. Bonanza (TV Series 1959–1973)

The Wild West adventures of Ben Cartwright and his sons as they run and defend their Nevada ranch while helping the surrounding community.

Surprisingly, I watch this as a kid for my strange attraction to Lorne Greene (figured out why later on). It's only recently I watch it for Dan Blocker.

3. Blue Bloods (TV Series 2010–2024)

Blue Bloods follows the lives of the NYPD's First Family of Law Enforcement: the Reagans.

Sure, Tom Selleck is nice, but I keep watching for Len Cariou at Sunday dinner each week.

2. In the Heat of the Night (TV Series 1988–1995)

The cases and adventures of the police forces in and around Sparta, Mississippi.

This is the show that got me lusting after Carroll O'Connor.

1. Murder, She Wrote (TV Series 1984–1996)

Mystery writer and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher uses her intellect, charm, and persistence to get to the bottom of every crime she encounters.

I love watching the show for show regulars William Windom, Tom Bosley, Ron Masak to the many, many guest stars. Plus I had a childhood crush on Angela Lansbury.

Today in the Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars, Leonard Nimoy guest stars in "A Man a Day," episode 14 of the seventh season of Gunsmoke (original air date December 30, 1961).

Nimoy plays one of a gang of outlaws who threaten to kill one townsperson each day until Marshal Dillon agrees to look the other way while they rob the Dodge City Bank. Nimoy plays the main gunman of the group, and he's delightfully sleazy.

Other Trek connections: Garry Walberg, who played the doomed commander of Outpost 4 in the Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror," plays a ranch hand who's in cahoots with the bank robbers. I love the word "cahoots."

My grandpa’s favorite show is Gunsmoke. I’ve watched just about every episode with him over the years.

While Matt and Miss Kitty’s relationship is never defined, it’s still very clear that those two are together. He’s her man and she’s his woman.

Forever shipping Kitty Russell and Matt Dillon 💕

Bless ao3 writers - there's even fanfics for Gunsmoke

They also had a Tv show running from 1955 - 1975.

Super niche, these old cowboy tales. Yet, ao3 has nearly 300 fanfics with Marshall Dillon, Kitty, Doc, Chester and the other memorable characters. I wasn't expecting it, but I know exactly what I'll be reading while I wait to get over this damn cough.

The Devil works hard, but ao3 writers work harder

Happy birthday to my favorite radio actor, Larry Dobkin (September 16, 1919 – October 28, 2002)!

Character actor Lawrence Dobkin was a frequent supporting player in radio, with hundreds of credits across dozens of different programs. He appeared in over 170 episodes of Gunsmoke, playing all kinds of characters from gunmen to gentlemen. Other shows where he was often heard include Escape; Romance; Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar; The Whistler; Let George Do It; Frontier Gentleman; Fort Laramie; Have Gun, Will Travel; NBC University Theatre; etc.

Larry Dobkin's only leading role in a radio series was the title sleuth in Ellery Queen from February 1947 to April 1948—and even there he wasn't exactly a headliner, because, in keeping with the pseudonymous source material, the show tended to be coy about identifying the actors who played Ellery. You might recognize him as Lieutenant Matthews on The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, the first of three main Archie Goodwins on The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe, Dave on The Man From Homicide, or Pat McCracken (usually) on Johnny Dollar—and if you ask me, his most memorable and lovable radio character was Louie, the Brooklyn cabbie who sometimes played sidekick to Vincent Price on The Adventures of the Saint.

A graduate of the Yale School of Drama, Dobkin also played numerous roles on stage, film and television, and later did writing and directing work for television.

Here are a few of my favorite radio episodes featuring Larry Dobkin:

Ellery Queen 1947-12-04 "Man in the Street": A swindler is murdered before Inspector Queen and Ellery can put him in jail. Whodunit? There were only about ten thousand people with a motive!

The Saint 1950-11-19 "No Hiding Place": The Saint tries to help a young man who has escaped from prison after several attempts on his life. Who framed him, who's out to get him, and why? (Louie isn't in this episode as much as in some others, but the lines he does get include some of my favorite lines ever, and anyway I think it's one of the strongest episodes of the series.)

Escape 1949-07-07 "The Fourth Man": Dobkin narrates this classic story of three "civilized" men adrift on a raft in the tropics, battling thirst and one another while their "savage" pilot calmly sits by.

Richard Diamond, Private Detective 1949-07-09: An escaped convict, bent on revenge against Richard Diamond, kidnaps Diamond's girlfriend.

Philip Marlowe 1950-01-21 "The Bid for Freedom": A woman has escaped from an asylum, and now her husband is in danger. Or maybe it's not that simple.

Philip Marlowe 1950-07-28 "The Glass Donkey": Lieutenant Matthews calls to ask about a girl Marlowe used to date—a girl who's just been murdered. It's real personal as Marlowe offers his services to find out why a nice girl had to die.

Philip Marlowe 1951-08-18 "The Young Man's Fancy": There's no murder in this somewhat atypical Philip Marlowe episode by Kathleen Hite. Marlowe goes out for Moscow Mule ingredients, and gets involved in the family troubles of the nice old man from whom he buys his limes.

The Story of Dr. Kildare 1951-02-16: A madman with a gun is holed up inside a school building. Dr. Kildare goes in after him, while Dr. Gillespie scrambles to remotely diagnose a mental illness without ever talking to the patient.

Gunsmoke 1952-06-28 "The Ride Back": This recently rediscovered Gunsmoke episode is almost entirely a radio play for only two voices, as Marshall Dillon brings a twisted killer through hostile Indian country.

Gunsmoke 1952-08-02 "Renegade White": Matt goes after a white man who's been selling guns to Indians, and winds up a prisoner of the Indians himself.

Gunsmoke 1953-02-21 "Meshougah": Matt and Chester find a whole town held hostage by a crazed killer and his gang of outlaws.

Fort Laramie 1956-05-13 "War Correspondent": A smart newspaperman from the East tags along with Captain Quince, hoping to show the folks back home a fair picture of life on the frontier. He's got a lot to learn!

Fort Laramie 1956-06-03 "Don't Kick My Horse": One of Captain Quince's soldiers is a meek little man whose only friend is his horse. He's been in the cavalry ten years, and it's time for a new horse. Dude is not ready to accept this. Tragedy ensues.

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar 1956-01-09 – 1956-01-13 "The Todd Matter": A tip on an old burglary leads Johnny into a very fresh shooting. Dobkin plays five roles in this story, and what always strikes me is that he doesn't do five radically different voices—he doesn't even change his accent very much! He just acts each character so completely that you're not even inclined to notice the actor.

Have Gun, Will Travel 1958-12-14 "The Outlaw": Paladin makes a deal with a convicted killer who wants to see his newborn son before being hanged.

Suspense 1954-07-27 "Destruction": "And it had a kind of warmth to it, this dying…" A strange, melancholy, poetic script by radio noir greats Fine and Friedkin, about a pathetic little man at the end of his rope.

I get how both Ace Attorney and I got the same last name of 'Marshal' because of Marshal Dillon from Gunsmoke but how did we both get 'Neal/Neil'. I named mine after Neil Diamond w the spelling from a guy in my high school class
