Review by dcoydcoy

We were a rodeo family, team roping was everything. Both Junior rodeo and professional. We even roped with some celebrity real cowboys like James Caan, Bob Eubanks, and Johnny Crawford. And my dad would team up with Montie Montana at LA County Sheriffs ropings.

We loved all the great westerns like Bonanza, Rawhide, and Wagon Train. But Gunsmoke was definitely our favorite! Matt was a Marshal with integrity and morals. Always avoiding killing when possible.

Something we loved to do every week when the show aired was to count and bet on how many times Doc Adams would wipe his face with his hand. As everyone has noticed, he does it very often. There's the mouth wipe and the nose wipe. Each one counts as a wipe. Don't get me wrong, he was an amazing actor! Everyone loved Doc! My favorite on the show besides Matt was Festus! Ken Curtis was an amazing character actor!! Yes, great show and it ran my entire childhood!
