I never saw any B&W/30 minute episodes of Gunsmoke because after its first run my TV stations only showed the color one hour episodes. When it started in 1955 I was only 4 years old and it came on at 10;30 and when I got old enough to understand it I was not allowed to stay up that late.
SO I first saw Jack Lambert on an episode of the Andy Griffith show when I was in my 30's but did not see any Gunsmoke B/W episodes until about a year ago when one of my channels started showing them. What a treasure - the old episodes with Chester and the tight writing of the great John Meston make the newer episodes seem like a a different show.
And then we have the great Jack Lambert - what can I say about him? What a perfect villian. This is one of those many episodes I will watch every time it is shown. Thank you to the station that is running these episodes Thank you ,thank you, thank you !!
