Am I the only one feeling deeply sorry for lido watching Gunsmoke reruns on Thanksgiving Day? I picture him alone, in front of his 27" Zenith tube TV eating a Swanson turkey dinner, drinking a Stroh's and rooting for Marshall Dillon to get a posse together. To some of us that sounds much more relax...

Just buy the series DVD set. All 635 episodes for $173.41 on Amazon. A lot better quality than MeTV. The parade is over with now. :rollin :rollin :rollin Just was making a suggestion so he can spare himself from future anguish when it inevitably gets pre-empted again for one thing or another.

I looked up Ann Thomas (who has been with WJR since 1982 according to her station bio) in old Free Press articles.
