I think that was horrible how cbs handled the end of gun smoke after 20 years they deserved better!, they made a lot of money for them!, it’s still so popular after all these years, I watch a lot of episodes of gun smoke on other streaming services too besides me tv my favorite old show to still watch! ❤️ it and the entire gun smoke family
