There was a ton of humor on Gunsmoke and it was mostly between Festus and Doc. They were practically a comedy team and they were the comedy relief on the show. Here's just one example there are probably hundreds. It's their take on Abbott and Costello and who's on first.

This is why all places that have stages should have plexiglass barriers between the Audience and the Performers.
Oh, please. Who wants to watch a show like that?

It will protect the Performers from getting hurt or killed by the Audience Members and on the flip side it will prevent the Fans from getting hurt from the Performers. For instance, Axl Rose was being illegally filmed in the Riverport Concert Riot, so he DIVED into the crowd and PUNCHED a guy in his head(Axl said he SLAPPED a Security Guard for not doing his job, and said it was a "Wake up!" slap, but it looks like a PUNCH to me) 🤔💡 On the other hand, a Fan threw a glass bottle filled with urine at Duff and Duff was knocked out and taken to the hospital. Axl nearly got hit by a Fan throwing something that looked like a rock(On YouTube, Posters said it was actually a piece of towel hanger that was thrown. Plexiglass barriers would have prevented these incidents. Safety first. 🤔💡

Nobody wants to watch performers behind plexiglass. If people are afraid they should stay home. If performers are afraid they should not tour.

I guess that leaves no more visits from the Pope in his popemobile.

As he should. Celebrities need to protect themselves. Wear bulletproof vests, motorcycle helmets, and perform plexiglass and bulletproof barriers. 💡🤔

Just kidding. Was it the dude that also did "The Real McCoys?"
Also, feels like it could be "Uncle Joe" from Petticoat Junction. I don't remember actors names very well.

The young guy on The Real McCoys was played by Richard Crenna, who wasn't in the Gunsmoke TV show.
"Chester," played by Dennis Weaver, was replaced by Festus.
Chester had a limp. Coincidentally, Walter Brennan's character on The Real McCoys had a limp, too, but it was for comic effect. I remember Chester as a somber character.
Quote: EvenBobFestus was kind of amusing.
Ken Curtis was a great singer before he became an actor. He succeeded Sinatra in the Tommy Dorsey band and later joined the 'Sons of the Pioneers'.
Quote: EvenBobMy family watched Gunsmoke in the '60s and we would laugh and laugh at Festus and Doc because we were supposed to. How anybody could say there was no humor in Gunsmoke has never watched it.
I probably just watched the opening where Matt pulls his gun, then changed the channel to "I Love Lucy".
I changed my mind, It was The Big Valley. Those Barkleys weren't very funny.
Though a minor character, she had a bigger role in the "Lower Decks" episode and got a television commercial:
Greetings kiddies! Come in! Come in to the Crypt of Terror! Just pull up some of those burlap sacks to sit down on. The rigor mortis of the occupants has subsided so they should be nice and soft. Heh, heh. There, comfy? Good. Let's get started.
Tonight's bizarre death story involves two good 'ol boys, never meaning no harm, who meet up with the evil demon named Alcohol. I call this little yelp yarn...
REDNECK
In 2004, Francis "Franky" Brohm (23) of Marietta, Georgia died when he was decapitated by a telephone pole support wire. He and his friend, John Hutcherson (21), went out one Saturday night and got themselves good and liquored up. They left the bar in the wee hours, got in their pickup and headed for home. For some reason Franky, who was riding shotgun, had his head out the window although whether he was whooping it up or was simply getting sick is unclear.
Hutchinson was speeding and had half drifted off the road onto the shoulder just as they approached a telephone pole. One of the pole's guy wires hit Franky, partially severing and partially tearing his head off his neck. Hutcherson was so drunk that he drove the remaining twelve miles to his home unaware that his passenger was now a decapitated corpse. He parked in front of his house, staggered inside and passed out on his bed.
The next morning a neighbor spotted the bloody body in the truck's passenger seat and notified the police. Hutcherson woke up to find his clothes spattered with blood and the cops knocking on his door. He had no memory of what happened. He spent five years in prison for vehicular murder. Franky's head was found alongside the road twelve miles back at the scene of the accident.
Heh, heh. Well, there you have it kiddies. Franky wanted to lose his inhibitions and ended up losing his mind. Oh well, you know what they say: Head today, gone tomorrow. Heh, heh, heh.

And now boils and ghouls, here's a quiz for those of you who enjoy watching celebrities die on the silver screen. I call this putrid puzzler...
BLIGHTS! CAMERA! AXTION!
[For questions 1-5 name the horror film containing the famous death scene described.
For questions 6-10 name the horror film the still image is taken from.]
1) A work truck's parking brake disengages causing the vehicle to roll quickly down a slope but it hits a barrier making it stop before it crushes a man. Whew. But wait! A sheet of window glass on the back of the truck hurls off with momentum, hitting the man in the throat and severs his head off. D'oh!
2) A research station out on the ocean is being attacked by intelligent sharks. A leader is trying to rally the scientists to stand together and fight since humans are superior to nature but, before he can finish his rousing speech, a shark jumps from the the water, grabs the leader in it's jaws and drags him under to his death. Talk about irony.
3) A doctor at a (different) research facility is using a defibrillator on a dying man when the man's stomach suddenly collapses. The sides of the revealed cavity have large, sharp teeth which proceed to bite off both the doctors arms. He bleeds out screaming but, for the other people present in the room, the fun is just getting started.
4) A man at a bad house finds a box containing old Super 8 home movies. He watches one called Lawn Work '86. The film is a PoV of a lawn mower cutting the grass at night and barely illuminated by the camera's light. Suddenly a screaming face is seen on the ground before being quickly run over. Hm. Might need a rake and a hose to finish this job.
5) A reanimated corpse befriends a little girl and plays with her by tossing flowers into a lake to see them float. When the creature runs out of flowers, it tosses the little girl in to keep the fun going. Unfortunately, she doesn't float. Oops.

Heh, heh. Sorry for the delay kiddies. I got hung up on a few things. Well, well. I see our resident Hollywood professional darkoz has aced the quiz to cement his cinematic ghoulru status. Let's go to the clips...
[Warning! Graphic content.]
This film actually has two famous deaths. The first one is the creepy scene where a nanny hangs herself at a children's birthday party. This second one, however, hits harder as we actually care about the David Warner character. So we're relieved when the truck doesn't crush him, but the relief only lasts for a split second.
This film takes a page from Psycho (although the directer points to Alien as inspiration) by killing its biggest star halfway into the film. Just when you think Samuel L. Jackson is going to grab a gun, quote a bible verse and then start blasting sharks into sushi, he's gone. That it happens while he's giving a motivational speech makes you want to both scream and laugh.
The Thing actually didn't do very well in theaters. It became a cult classic due to the (then) new form of entertainment called the video rental store. These days it's considered to be a masterpiece of the horror genre. Despite being an obvious creature feature, the film is arguably more of a study of paranoia.
This is a fun little horror film that eschews cheap jump scares and instead concentrates on slowly building up the tension and foreboding sense of dread. So, naturally, it then gut punches you by delivering one of the greatest jump scares of all time.
As you might imagine, this scene stirred up quite a controversy back in the day. Creepy kids and creepy kid's (distant) laughter might be common tropes of horror, but even in our times the death of an innocent child (like in Jaws or Pet Sematary) is intense. It's a direct attack on a parent's greatest fear.
Like creepy kids, creepy clowns have been a horror staple for many decades. For children growing up in the late '70s and early 80's, Tim Curry's portrayal of Pennywise the clown in It along with this Poltergeist scene was enough to pass the clown phobia along to the next generation.
With all its famous imagery, many people forget that this film begins at an archeological dig in Iraq. Father Merrin, who once performed a successful exorcism, uncovers a demonic looking icon and realizes that the devil is back, and wants a rematch. The audience isn't filled in on this 'till later, but the surreal and bizarre imagery of the film's prologue already has them on edge as the main story begins.
What can you say about the exploding head scene? Either you have the stomach for it or you don't.
One could argue that the famous helicopter scene is too clever by half. A member of the Addams Family would say it's creepy and it's kooky. What it does do is take you out of the story and make you wonder how they did it.
The interesting thing about the pier scene is that it actually works. It's no secret that the mechanical sharks used in the film would breakdown all the time, forcing Spielberg to improvise and use other things to represent the great white. Here the end of a pier is torn off and a fisherman is pulled out onto the water. He begins swimming back to the dock but we then see the chunk of pier do a 180 and begin moving back as well. The suspense dial gets cranked up to 11.
Well, that's my Vegas lounge act kiddies.
TA DA!
I love it when I slay the audience. Heh, heh.

Pro Wrestler (and Boston native) Kevin Sullivan, 75 8-9-24
Actress Gena Rowlands, 94 8-15-2004
Singer Greg Kihn, 75 8-15-2024
He is remembered around here, somewhat infamously, as being on stage with his band, Jack Russell's Great White when, in February 2003, performing at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, R.I., the band’s pyrotechnics ignited a deadly fire that killed 100 people, including Great White’s guitarist, and left 230 injured. It was one of the worst club fires in U.S. history.
The two brothers who owned the club, and installed the highly flammable soundproofing foam around its stage, and the band’s tour manager, who lit the blaze, were charged in connection with the fire.
Mr. Russell was not charged, but members of the band agreed to pay a $1 million settlement.

This is the first time I have heard of Kevin Sullivan's death. He was incredibly talented, both in the ring and on the microphone. He was a visionary who helped show that there were spots for guys who weren't 6-4 and gobbling down steroids. I'm sort of surprised he lasted to 75; he never met a risk he wouldn't take.

When Phil Donahue first came on the air 1967 the Civil Rights Act had just gone into effect a couple years before that and food stamps had also just begun. Donahue had on a woman who had 12 children with 7 different men none of which were her husband. She had no job and lived completely off welfare and food stamps. Donahue thought this was the greatest thing since sliced bread because without all that assistance what would she have done. Even as a teenager I had a lot of questions about this which of course he asked none of them. The fact that he thought this activity was just hunky dory and peachy keen pretty much soured me on Phil Donahue.

Imagine how much *more* successful he could have been, if only EvenBob liked him more...
He was born in Somoa but moved to the US as a teenager and joined the US Marines. The Anoa'is married into a fledging wrestling dynasty, and more than a dozen of their offspring are at the top of the business. Afa was featured in a match shown on TV in a segment of the Twilight Zone movie.

EB replied to me. He was right, he would have been suspended if he posted what he wanted to.

Quote:CNN — The family of Alain Delon, who died at the weekend aged 88, has denied the actor’s request for his dog to be euthanized and buried alongside him following outcry in France.
Delon, an icon of French cinema known for his starring roles in “The Leopard” and “Our Story,” died on Sunday.
The French actor had clearly expressed his wish to have his beloved Belgian Shepherd dog, Loubo, buried alongside him when he passed.
He disclosed the unusual request during an interview with Paris Match magazine in 2018, describing Loubo as his “end-of-life” dog who he loved “like a child.”
“I’ve had 50 dogs in my life, but I have a special relationship with this one,” Delon told the magazine. “If I die before him, I’ll ask the vet to take us away together. He’ll put him to sleep in my arms.”
Following criticism from animal welfare groups in France, Delon’s family confirmed on Tuesday that they would not be granting the actor’s controversial dying wish.
French animal charity, the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, said in a post on X Tuesday that Delon’s relatives had confirmed that the dog “has his home and his family” and will not be euthanized.

I saw a will once where the woman wanted to be buried with her dog. I wondered if they were supposed to off the dog after she died or something else, it did not say. But you read wills as part of your job you see all kinds of stuff.
