Gunsmoke: Crack-Up (1957)
Season 3, Episode 1
8/10
Top tier half hour
30 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The csmith review is right on...it amazes me how good these 30 minute episodes are. I was looking forward to the rollover (on MeTV anyway) to the old b&w half hour shows and most pay off.

This show uses a tried and true plot: a dirty rotten scoundrel (who shoots a poor dog!) VS the ultimate good guy hero (Matt). From minute three on we want Matt to put the guy down, and he does.

This first show of season three is why Gunsmoke is now the number one rated show on television. It took two seasons for the show to ramp up and season two made it to number 7. It will remain number one for two more seasons and remain in the top 15 for ten more.
