8/10. I wish she and Matt had married in the final episode with them riding into the sunset and Festus taking over as marshal arguing with Doc as the show ended.
10/10. I get a drink on the house at the Long Branch.
My mom might do better on this
9/10

9/10. There was no mention of the fact that, on the original radio series, Kitty was a prostitute!
* In early TV episodes we saw guys and female employees of Kitty going upstairs to rooms together! nudge nudge
Officially, on radio, Kitty started out as a “hostess” at the Texas Trail. A few seasons into its run, she became the co-owner of the Longbranch. The other co-owner was the former bartender at the Texas Trail, Sam.
Once, when asked Kitty’s occupation, series co-creator Norman Macdonnell replied, “Kitty’s exactly what you think she is. She’s someone that Matt just has to go visit from time to time.”

8/10---I'll take it!!
I love Guy smoke 😍
Well, two out of 10 and even that was a guess. I never watched Gunsmoke… Not even one episode! Oh well…😁
Whew doggey. On today’s episode of Gunsmoke, “MacGraw”, the main character walks into the Bull’s Head saloon. Immediately, I recognize Sam tending bar and when asked for the owner he points to Miss Kitty sitting at a table. Somewhere in the middle of the episode they show the Bull’s Head saloon again but it’s entirely different. If my wife hadn’t seen it with me I would think I was seeing things. If anyone has the Gunsmoke DVDs and can verify I’m not going crazy I’d be “much obliged”. Happy Father’s Day MeTV gang.
Season 15, Episode 12…..called “Macgraw”….In the scene you’re writing about, Macgraw was across the street from the Bull’s Head Saloon…..He was standing under a sign that read The Long Branch Saloon, but across the street, Macgraw saw someone of interest (at that point we don’t know who) entering The Bull’s Head Saloon…..but Macgraw does not cross the street….instead he turns around and as he does, it shows him entering the establishment with the sign that reads The Long Branch Saloon….Miss Kitty never owned any saloon in Dodge but the Long Branch…..The Bull’s Head was the seedy saloon where none of the repetitive characters (Mat, Doc, Festus,etc) visit…..
Much obliged to ya. That’s where I miss my DVR. Thoroughly enjoy Gunsmoke, my go to western. May have to spring for the DVD set. Birthday’s coming up so maybe I’ll drop a hint or two to the family. See ya in Dodge!

9/10 not too bad. Love "Gunsmoke", especially the first 10 years of it.
I agree love those episodes way more than the last 10 seasons. The color ones seemed so corny.
Kitty kicked my mule skinnin "A", 3/10
