Summary: Love The Show, Hate The Release Format
Comment: Gunsmoke - The Third Season, Volume 1 continues the release schedule for one of television's alltime greatest television series. Beloved and revered, this series will always be considered one of the alltime best. Yes, because of its' longevity, but also because of the great acting, directing, and writing displayed on the series.
But still, I cannot recommend these sets. There is no excuse, no justification the studio can make for splitting a 20-season series up and dividing each season into multiple sets. It's greed, shortsighted, fear of producing full season sets that won't sell - maybe one or more or all of these things. But the Western lover, loyal as we are to our favorite stars, our favorite movies and series, are being made to pay a price that is way too high to pay. To think how long it may be before the entire series is released is too painful. Suffice it to say that it will be WAY TOO LONG at the current rate.
At this point, it is probably too much to expect the studio to come to its senses. But it is worth it to say that they need to come to their senses, and soon.

Summary: Paramount announces Gunsmoke: The Third Season, Vol. 1
Comment: Good news for Gunsmoke fans who feared an end to this production was inevitable due to poor reviews, Season 3, Volume 1 is on its way! The split seasons, though unnecessary, isn't nearly the problem reviewers imagine it to be, the problem lies in the snail-paced speed in which they are released. Of course, this doesn't bother me nearly as much as it does most, because my wait is for the first six seasons with those tight, half-hour episodes featuring the great Dennis Weaver. I'll take what I can get after that, but as long as the first six seasons are put out there, I will then be happy. Also, it is senseless to give a product 1 star simply because you wish there was more of it sooner. If the product itself is satisfactory, it is inappropriate to slap it with 1 star, possibly driving people away who simply want to buy the second or third seasons of Gunsmoke. All Gunsmoke sets thus far have been top quality, other than the mistake of the missing episode from Volume 1 of Season 2.

Summary: More Split Season Nonsense
Comment: Have not and will not buy...One dud star for Paramount...
Any insight/feedback regarding the company DVD Media Star and their product listing (or any of their DVD listings for that matter) for the Complete Gunsmoke Collection would be welcome. Supposedly all 20 seasons/635 uncut episodes are available on 99 DVDs for $187.95. Seems this would have "bootleg" written all over it; chopped up, poor quality etc., etc..."a disaster on disc(s)."?!

Summary: The one True Classic Western
Comment: The best western television show ever made. I wish it was released in larger increments: I'm almost 49, and i really would be willing to buy all the seasons at one time.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Classic TV Show
Comment: Gunsmoke is a great classic tv show, especially the first nine seasons that have the late Dennis Weaver on the show. I do wish that the seasons would be released as whole seasons and more faster, but you have to remember something: Gunsmoke was first aired in 1955, that is almost 54 years ago. These early seasons of Gunsmoke first have to be found, then remastered all before they can be released on DVD. So naturally with a show this old and a show that ran for so long, it's going to take time to get the seasons out onto DVD, as for the seasons being split season DVD's, who knows how long it would take for them to release Gunsmoke onto DVD if they took the time to find all, remaster all the shows of a single season and then release it onto DVD. My advice is don't complain, be glad that a great Legendary Show like Gunsmoke is being released onto DVD even if it's just split seasons. I personally am glad take them as they are released.
For those intrested, Gunsmoke Season 3: Vol 1 will be a 3 disc set that contains 19 remastered episodes that are:
1. Crack up
2. Gun For Chester
3. Blood Money
4. Kitty's Outlaw
5. Potato Road
6. Jesse
7. Mavis McCloud
8. Born to Hang
9. Romeo
10.Never Pester Chester
11.Fingured
12.How To Kill A Woman
13.Cows and Cribs
14.Doc's Reward
15.Kitty Lost
16.Twelfth Night
17.Joe Phy
18.Buffalo Man
19.Kitty Caught
