What a Bunch of Spoiled Brats

I'm a 45-year-old man who had never seen an episode of Gunsmoke until I ordered the first season. I've been very impressed and hope very much that all the seasons will be released in order. I don't understand the whining and bitching about the packaging and the timing. Until just a few years ago, no one would have dreamed of being able to own entire classic television shows in pristine condition like this. Considering the miracle involved, the prices being charged are de minimis. And you know what? No one is forcing you to buy them. If you don't think Gunsmoke is worth it, go play football in your front yard for free. June 22, 2008

what is being done with the " gunsmoke " problem

I to am upset with the gunsmoke series. The question i have is ther anyone
out there that is really working on the problem? Are there people contacting the makers of this series? if so what is there reponses. Are
ther calls to the studio and letter writing being done. just complaing
about it will get nothing done. It anyone knows anything that is being
done, please let the rest of us know. We need real help so we can all
have this series at a moderate price.

Tv Doesn't Get Any Better!

I admit to bias, but this show has been the the best series of my lifetime. It is simply my favorite.

The studio is gouging, sure, but I'll pay to watch Matt, Chester, Doc and Kitty. June 20, 2008

It Keeps Getting Better

This show keeps getting better. I now have the complete set for season two and although I am not happy about the pricing, I refuse to protest the business practices of the company that packaged the best drama/adventure series ever created.
This season continues to depict the dark side of human nature and the unpredictability of life in the most honest manner I have ever seen on television. Matt Dillon, Chester Goode, Kitty Russell, and Doc Adams form a tight circle of friendship and battle against those who refuse to obey the laws of Dodge and not adhere to basic laws of decency. The brutality and depravity of human nature is on full display. Many of the episodes do not contain the traditional "feel good" endings, which I like because I think it adds to the shows intensity. Most importantly, Marshall Dillon, who is portrayed as a larger then life character, also exhibits weaknesses, doubts, and emotions like all of us. He is not perfect but you know he is doing his best to perform the almost impossible task of trying to maintain law and order on the wild frontier.

Season 2 climbed in the TV ratings to number 8. James Arness was nominated for Best Continuing Performance by an Actor in a Dramatic Series. This series is the best TV show I own and I thoroughly enjoy watching it with my kids. My biggest problem is that my 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter want to watch all the episodes right away. I need to limit the viewing so that we can get at least a months worth of enjoyment out of it.

If you don't like paying the high price for half a season, you can wait until season 3 arrives because like other companies, I think eventually they will package season 2 Vol 1 and Vol 2 into one set and reduce the price to around $[...]. This is what other companies are doing. The risk you run is not having the set available because it is sold out. My final recommendation: Buy it, buy it, buy it.
