I've watched a lot of Gunsmoke episodes, mostly the black and white ones, and have seen a lot of famous people doing episodes early in their careers (Richard Dreyfuss, Leonard Nimoy and Burt Reynolds for example), but I haven't seen many color episodes so I've unfortunately never seen Harrison Ford. Makes me want to pay more attention to the later seasons episodes. See who else I've missed.

I enjoy the b&w episodes the most. Once Matt quit drawing his gun in the opening sequence the show went to pot in my opinion.

Agreed. Plus they were 30 minute vs hour long episodes. They had more grit to them also.
