I prefer brisco country Junior, but they're barely the same genre

Isn't that one "weird west?"

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely the weirdest!

According to the latest Nielsen streaming report, Gunsmoke is one of the top 10 most-watched acquired series across all measured streaming services.

How specific.

It sounds like they're just splitting out original programming, so from a service's point of view it's not a weird thing to track.

It was a good show, and parts of it hold up well as casual entertainment

You can tell the truth that everyone is just here for Miss Kitty.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wellllll, ngl, I had a thing for redheads partially because of her.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Her and Marilu Henner on Taxi!

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Heck yeah :)

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Hogan’s Heroes next

I SEE NOTHING!!!!

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Or go deep like the Marianas Trench, binge-watch The Cisco Kid, Colgate Comedy Hour and Texaco Fireside Theater!

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 6 points 4 months ago

That's because Gunsmoke is cool as fuck!

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 4 months ago

90's nostalgia is so strong people are even recreating the boom Gun Smoke had during peak cable when new channels were desperate for content.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

Pfft, it ain't Gunsmoke if the Marshal ain't played by Bill Conrad.

But seriously, I might give the TV version a try, as I definitely enjoy the original radio show.

We all want an authority figure like Marshal Dillon
