I knew of the Jackie Gleason version, but not the later Bendix version of the TV show.

May have seen the movie, but don't think I ever saw the TV show; TV didn't come to the wilds of Nebraska until the mid-50s. For a while only one or two networks--on a good night. Interesting that the radio and TV <i>GUNSMOKE</i> shows ran at the same time for many years, with different casts.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10697975.post-17331089095430970422012-02-26T07:56:23.997-06:002012-02-26T07:56:23.997-06:00I've never seen any of these episodes.
