Widder, SASS #59054 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 This is one for Alpo..... WHY did they always send 'Chester' to fetch somebody? The Marshal sent Chester to fetch the Doc. The Doc sent Chester to fetch the Marshal. Ms. Kitty would send Chester to fetch Matt or the Doc. WHY did they always send Chester, who could only half gallop and surely couldn't get up or down all those steps to the Docs office. I bet ALPO knows. ..........Widder
Catlow4697 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 It was in his contract ,. He was the gofer. It was politically corecect then
G W Wade Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 To get rid of him!! I thought he was irritating and believe the cast thought so too. Fetus was the man in my opinion GW Oh yah Mary Ann while we are at it.
Trigger Mike Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 It was so that he would feel needed and not be bothered by his handicap.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Chester was getting paid to clean up, make coffee and go get stuff! That's about all the loser could do! I hope they didn't pay him too much!
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Too make the show last a whole 1/2 Hr lol
Eyesa Horg Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 I've been watching the reruns for quite some time here and still in all my life have never seen a Gunsmoke with Chester. I feel left out! Thanks for reminding me Widder!

Trailrider #896 Posted October 24, 2018 Posted October 24, 2018 What I could never figure out is whether Chester was a deputy (he sure accompanied Matt on enough jobs), and why he didn't wear a gun? He must have had some firearms training, as IIRC, he got his stiff leg from a wound in the CW. Trying to recall how the radio version of Chester was played.

No limp and he carried a gun sometimes, I listen to the radio version on xm radio
Trigger Mike Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 He carried a rifle when traveling with Matt and I know of twice using a pistol in town
