            I always forgot that he was Peter Graves' brother. Both were great. RIP.

                    The Thing is dead.
                    Sorry to hear it. He did some classic stuff that people will remember him for. It's a kind of immortality...

                      I hope TVLand plays a marathon of Gunsmoke in his honor. They have not been playing the show enough lately. Mr. Arness was great, he will be missed.

                        He and Fess Parker were heroes to me as a kid. Very sad news! RIP.

                          He lived a good long life, and his work touched millions of people. We should all be so lucky!!!

                          But still, he'll be missed.

                            RIP Mr. Arness.

                            Catch Gunsmoke episodes on Encore Westerns at 7:00 p.m. These are all prior to the show getting sensored, telling them it was too violent. (no G ratings, all TV PG) Good Adult shows.

                              Keep watching Gunsmoke

                              What an amazing man, he wrote his own thank you to his fans to be posted when he passed. I wrote to him last year and was lucky enough to get an autographed picture from him. Great actor!
