A Delivery from Amazon… and Esther!
Just received a package from Amazon, containing the following
DVDs:
On of those digital channels was running the early Gunsmokes in the wee hours a while back and it impressed me, just like the original radio series (which years ago a local station played once a week). Glad slowly the series is appering on DVD.
My Grandmother was a fan of "The Rifleman" - it was airing on TV a few years ago for a while, then "blip" - gone. At least AntennaTV shows Westerns - "Billy the Kid meets Dracula"...there are no words. Oh, and Phil Carey when he was "young" - though I knew him better as J.R. Ewing wannabe Asa Buchanon on "One Life To Live" - his character died and came back to life so many times that when he died for real in 2009, I thought he had some posthumous guest appearance set up in time for the finale!

ReplyDelete“Slowly” *is* the operative word, Dana.
ReplyDeleteI suspect the DVD format will have given way to one, two, or even three other delivery systems before GUNSMOKE’s 20 seasons are complete.
…I think we’ll complete YOUNG JUSTICE, though! :-)

Ahhh, forget “Old Justice”, what I wouldn’t give to see “Billy the Kid vs .Dracula”.
ReplyDeleteImagine this exchange between Billy and Drac:
“Draw!”
“Draw Blood... Blaaah!”
