Wow. i am sincerely surprised that some reviewers didn't like this episode. i thought every actor who was onscreen did an excellent job! Sure i understand that we don't all share the same sense of humor BUT for instance, this exchange (i watch the entire episode in anticipation of these few lines!):
MISS KITTY: "You see, uh, well
women are always welcome in here it's just that, well, some LADIES might not approve!"
MINNIE: "Well, YOU look like a lady to me! I'M STAYIN'!"
DILLON: "GOOD FOR YOU, Minnie!" (casually sips his beer 🍺)
DOC: (spinning around to angrily peer up at Matt) "You shut up! Now listen Minnie ..."
OMGOSH it happened so quickly! Lost count how many times i hit rewind and perused it again! Laughing out loud every single time! One of my favorite (blink and you missed it) short bursts of humor from a Gunsmoke (or ANY) program! Everyone involved was just "on it" that day! imho this show is worth watching just for that part but truly, this entire episode is both FUN and soo FUNNY! So cool to see Doc as the star of the show! He nailed it, absolutely SUPERB! 🎭
