Respeaking of Gunsmoke, one of my favorite "takeoffs" on the show was this:

"Mr. Dillon! Mr. Dillon! There's a feller in the alley with a'arrer through his neck!"

"Which side, Chester?"

"BOTH sides, Mr. Dillon!"

HAR! HAR! HAR!

Yessir, we're all gonna miss 'em. Sad.

You know my wife told me about Darien McGavin the other day and I had Gavin McCloud in my mind until you mentioned Night Stalker Lathan. He was a great actor. I also love him the Christmas movie from Gene Shepard...'A Christmas Story' he was perfect for that part.
