Was there a final episode of Gunsmoke where they closed out the series with plot lines being resolved and people riding off into the sunset etc. or was it just "cancelled".

Only soap operas had continuing stories. That didn't come to prime time until the late 70s soaps like Dallas and Dynasty and then got incorporated into regular series by Bochco on his shows. Other than the Fugitive, there were no "Final Episodes". Shows got cancelled, ended and a new show took its place.

I believe that the management at CBS changed, and the show just ended as the result. The new owner hated westerns, or maybe just Gunsmoke, and it ended. No final episode or anything, just ended. I think, but may be wrong, the same Bast*rd may have canceled Gilligan's Island and other beloved shows in the same swoop.

Well, there are a few exceptions to this: "Leave it to Beaver" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show" both had final episodes that wrapped things up. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----

Are they frozen (they have to be thawed out) or freeze dried (just add water)? Michael
