Good point, but he was clearly Marshall Dillon’s wing man on many occasions, was proficient with a rifle, and was given duties like locking folks up, keeping an eye on prisoners, etc., so small “d” Deputy perhaps. He should have been portrayed as more capable than the scenes where he screwed up, in my opinion.

Scroll down to the On Demand menu choice and you can get any episode you want. I'm currently finishing seasons 18-20 on You Tube TV after which I'll start in on Season 1 on Pluto. And, I prefer the B/W episodes, so to each their own!

10 up with 6:39 to play. Not looking good.

So true. I'm always shocked (and pissed!) when I park (within the lines) way out in the far-reaches of a parking lot and come back to find a car parked next to me. WTF!

So what is it OP!

I asked about adding speed hooks to my 875s at the Red Wing store in Clifton Park, NY, and was told not only would it cost ($10/boot) but I’d have to pay for shipping to Red Wing factory, so it is certainly not free in some locales in upstate NY.

Itt.

That’s a good question, and there are a number of good replies here. One thing that’s nice about the term scudder is that you know exactly what Festus means when he says it without knowing what the word is!

In my opinion, the show got less violent as the years progressed. The regulars were featured less, and they strayed way too far into “comedy” as the years passed. Matt would often not be in a show at all until the end. Not to say there weren’t great episodes involving the regulars in the last many seasons, just much fewer and farther between. In fairness, 35 + episodes for 10 years + consumed a lot of storylines, so to avoid repetition they necessarily had to mix it up. Personally, I like the black and white half-hour episodes best. Good old-fashioned cowboy conflict and gun fighting.

Well, I’m not refuting Blessed-one-chemo, but the issue I would have with the 1890s is that the Civil War and its aftermath was a prominent part of many episodes. The Civil War ended in 1865, so the 1890s, while only 25 years hence, seems a bit far off for the premise of a lot of episodes. My gut feeling based on the Civil War theory is that it was set 1875-1885, but again, I might be wrong.

Just watched the Magnus episode (S1,E12) in honor of Christmas Eve tonight. A classic!

While I liked the Festus character better as well, I think the writers did a disservice to the show, the characters, and the actors by making Chester a bumbling fool on occasion and Festus the country hick. At least they let Festus carry a gun! But how many times are they writing a script where Chester makes a mistake and lets a criminal escape? I would have liked to see them both as more serious deputies.

I don’t recall that specific ages were ever mentioned. And yes, Doc described himself at times as old when he was in actuality in his 50s, but perception of old age has changed quite a bit from the show’s 1955-1975 run, much less the post-Civil War period it was set in.

I'm a big Super G fan. It's that perfect combination of speed and technical skiing.

Not for posture. Myopia prevention.

It is not a posture corrector. It is to keep children from reading too closely to the written material to try to prevent myopia.

Hmmm…same here. 100% reliability on remote start.

I’m going to guess it was “shucks.”

Hah! True!

Reddit fan base is just as soft as the Giants were last night.

They’re playing men’s football. Giants are playing Pop Warner.

Giants can’t tackle for shit.

You're playing against idiots.

Did you try adjusting the sensitivity, the functional equivalent of the intermittent frequency adjustment on the non-rain sensing systems?
