Gunsmoke: The Magician (1963)
A great story
This is one of my favorite episodes to date. I have no problem with gunfire, and love action scenes, but I especially appreciate a well-written story-- and this is one.
Lloyd Corrigan, Tom Simcox, Barry Kelley and Brooke Bundy lend great performances. The regulars are good, as usual.
With all the special effects movies that we are offered today, I really appreciate a show and episode like this. In fact, I watched it with my 18 year old son, and he enjoyed it a lot as well.
The Virginian: Nightmare (1970)
Great episode
Although this episode was a bit different from most others, I really enjoyed it. A decent mystery, some suspense, and what I thought was a fine performance from Joan Fontaine. (even though I've never seen any of her prior work). A good watch.
Gunsmoke: The Search (1962)
Much better than other reviewers thought
I've watched this episode twice now and really feel this is a fine episode to begin season 8.
I realize there were no shootings and I enjoy those episodes as much as the next guy, but the episodes written by Katharine Hyatt almost always show heart and deal with how different personalities relate to one another.
In my work when I was younger, I dealt with men the age of Cale, and saw men act like this. If I saw it in the late 90's I can only imagine how a twenty-something might have acted in the 1890's. Sometimes they talk in clipped sentences, sometimes they don't reveal. Bottom line, I thought Carl Reindel's performance was believable.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I could feel the father's pain over the loss of his son and the connection he may have felt toward this new brash arrival. And the bonus is that James Arness and Milburn Stone are featured prominently in this episode.
