These are the 32 early and last of the half-hour 1960-1961 b/w episodes..and they are also some of the best. Before they went to one hour and color to keep up with the other shows on the other networks. As Milburne Stone said in a TV-Guide article .".at last, there were guest stars that carried the episodes and only at the last minute Matt came in to save everyone and shoot the bad guys." This Sixth Season is the latest full year collection to be relased to the public. Now,will we be seeing the 7th. Season and the first l-hour b/w shows of 34 from 1961-1962 which were also great, except they were starting to cut some action scenes with more dialogue supposed to flesh-out the characters.l And yes...This is another great GUNSMOKE classic early TV collection.
