WOW . I do not get all the favorable reviews for this episode at all. The first half is Matt and Abe in the woods doing nothing but talk talk talk for 30 minutes. That is so boring I didn't even care about the last half which wasn't much better. I really love most of Gunsmoke episodes but the best part of this episode was the end credits. Maybe most of the reviewers on this are Chill Wills fans or something - I am not. I don't care for him in any TV show or film I have ever seen him in. He seems to be the actor that producers hire when they need a boring old man to do nothing but talk. Another reviewer said he thought Quint was the best second banana out of Chester, Festus, and Thad. Nope. Chester was miles ahead of any of them. In fact my order for second banana is Chester first by a long shot of course. Then Quint and Thad are next and tied because they usually have nothing to do, and then that hillbilly Festus almost ruins any episode he's in with his bulging eyeballs, whiny voice, and over acting. Anyway that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
