randyking@your-net.com Sunday, December 02, 2001 3:15 There seems to be some debate in other web-sites regarding the original opening title sequence for Gunsmoke. Apparently, it wasn't the famous Front Street showdown; that didn't seem to appear until about mid-season 2. Do you have the answer? ----------------------------------------------------------- Hi Randy, The first show distributed by Columbia has the same showdown scene.The music, though, is different. --------------------------------------------------------- Q: Also, have you seen every episode? That would be impressive. (How else could you know something like Matt never went shirtless!) ------------------------------------- A: No. Almost every. .No shirtless Matt in any of them. How many times was Matt Dillon shot? A lot. .Go to the "Didja Know?" section of the web site. .There's a partial list there. . ------------------------------------ Q: Were there many episodes that featured both Chester and Quint?; you never see cast photos with both of them. ------------------------------------- A: Yup. And believe it or not, Chester & Festus both had billing on a show. Gotta get a picture of that. Bob
