Comments about ‘Sagging saloon would break Miss Kitty's heart’

Great story. I grew up with Gunsmoke on Saturday nights. We had access to only one television station in northcentral Wisconsin and fortunately it was CBS.

Thank you for this article, and the memories it evokes.
Perhaps there will be other, well-funded, Scenes filmed there.
Even digital filming is apparently quite a production....lotsa folks scrambling about.
Again, thanks, and best prayers and wishes for this set.

if the Feds will spend millions to drag Ted Kazinskis shack and junk to the Smithsonian, surely they could invest a few million in one of America's better known locations. perhaps designate it as site of some historical repute.

There's a reason why they were called "Spaghetti Westerns" ...
After a long day at school, I would sit with a Bowl of Spaghetti, or a "Swanson's TV Dinner", watching, such as "Gun Smoke", before spending the whole night studying, reading, and writing my Homework Essays. Did piles of Calculations, too...
Thank You Again for the Memories,
Bill

As a great entertainer once said; "Thanks for the memories."It's sad to see something that was a part of the past for many of us fall to pieces little by little. However, to those of use who "rode the range" with Marshal Dillon and the great John Wayne, Dodge City, Tombstone, Fort Apache and Stagecoach will be forever safe and sound in our memories.

Gunsmoke is still my favorite TV program. A testament that shows can have a good guy without the profanity, violence, and flesh of today.
