If you didn’t see this episode yesterday then that’s some serious Gun Smoke recall.

With most of the garbage on television these days it's one of the few programs i'll watch. Good thing is they play Gunsmoke a bunch now days! I also have a saint for a wife that love's Chester and all his whining and ailments. I wish I could find the Rifleman on more regularly.

Probably still are. Biden famously said in the New York Observer, “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
