Title: ...a word of caution to buyer & producer both
Review: Too few things from tv's "golden" age are in release and too many lousy things ARE available in complete form. The way Gunsmoke is being treated only encourages that trend. They hurt their own market. A word of caution; We live in a capitalist system, supply and demand. If owners of a program don't supply a show in a timely reasonable way they CREATE a bootleg market. Gunsmoke is widely pirated for that reason. It's a shame, and owners of such programs like to bemoan this illegal activity, but in some cases they are among the biggest contributers to it! Another larger segment of the public will simply stay away from slowly released and over priced sets like this. (There is certainly no lack of shows competing for sales out there, even if most are much lower quality programs.) You are shooting yourself in the foot and denying the public a great show at the same time. Wise up!!!
