Grew up with dad watching Westerns - come on how many of us miss those!!! :( I have all the Gunsmokes in this collection that was released years ago. My favorite one in this set is "The Cabin". Matt is all by himself out on the prarie trying to get back to Dodge when a blizzard hits. He comes across a cabin out there in the middle of nowhere and hopes to get shelter for himself and his horse. What he finds is......can't say now....you gotta watch to see! By the way, I know I said I had the whole collection but I did have to reorder this just to have an extra just in case, since I watch it a lot!!!! I would be pretty upset if my tape goes out and I didn't have the backup! :)

These episodes are from Gunsmoke season three. They are: 1) Kitty's Outlaw: A great episode and it really takes us into the past of Kitty Russell. 2) Twelfth Night: A very funny episode featuring mostly Matt and Chester. Some scenes with Doc and Kitty. Basically about two hill-billies that want to kill each other but can't because it's sunday. Matt and Chester go and try to find them on Monday before they do kill each other. All in all, a very hilarious episode. 3) Buffalo Man: Not the best episode. Only really has Matt and Chester and like three other guest stars. No real action at all and though it's a good episode, I've seen better in the third season. 4) The Cabin: The worst episode of season three. This episode was very dull, no action. Only featured Matt and three guest stars and it only takes place in a cabin the whole episode. Season three has great episodes, this is NOT one of them.

Cannot say enough about the episode of "The Cabin" - such an original plot involving our Matt Dillon! It's true we don't get all the characters together in this one but hey, once in a while it's okay to break the mold! This episode is one of my favorites and am so glad to have it on VHS! The unforgettable Harry Dean Stanton and Claude Akins star as the baddies...and Matt has to go up against them himself.....watch it, you won't be disappointed!

Gunsmoke was often a good show but they did have a lot of lemons

too. This collection has pretty good shows. It's in the old west

of course, and it has things of historical interest you might not know about today.

"The Cabin" is an especially good show. It was made in response

to complaints that Gunsmoke had "gone soft". "The Cabin" has a tough edge to it.
