I love Gunsmoke. I don't think I've ever watched a bad episode before. Until today. When I say "bad", I mean bad by Gunsmoke standards. It was still mildly entertaining enough to watch til the end.
In the opening credits, the first thing I noticed is that neither John Meston nor Kathleen Hite wrote this. Love those 2... they made Gunsmoke the legend that it is. John Dunkel wrote this doozy.
Like another reviewer said, Joan Hackett's character was obnoxious. I might add that a lot of her dialogue was barely audible. Lots of whisper talking. Long extended, boring conversations that you could barely hear. And no, I'm not going deaf, haha.
There were a few good scenes, don't get me wrong. But those involved Miss Kitty, and or Doc/Chester/Matt. Hackett's scenes were rather dreary, IMO.
Overall, in 20 seasons, Gunsmoke is a 9.8 in my book. But this one, The Widow, was quite possibly the word ever, in large part due to the writing and (mis)casting.
Enjoy...if you can.
