Trivia
Because of this episode's unusual runtime, "The Day They Hanged Kid Curry" was not included as a part of the standard Alias Smith and Jones (1971) rerun package. It occasionally appeared in syndication as a TV movie, under its own name, with the series title bluntly edited out of the regular series' opening credits.

An enjoyable episode.

An enjoyable episode. It is fun to watch Slim Pickens playing a character that seems like he could immediately become Pickens' character from Blazing Saddles. And Walter Brennan's character, Silky, dressing up as Kid Curry's grandmother is worth the price of admission. The scenes where Brennan flirts with Pickens are very humorous. I haven't seen more than one or two of these episodes since I was a kid of 10 or 11 (when it was originally on TV). This episode is enjoyable. I can see what I liked about it when it was a first run. If you get a chance, give it a listen whirl. I think you'll enjoy it.
