I was looking around on the CBS all access web site since I had signed up for the free access. They have tons of the TV shows they have run going back a long time. Almost nothing I care about, but I did see the Gunsmoke series. I ended up watching the Season 1 Episode 1 of Gunsmoke. September of 1955 was the first airing. Wow, what a time warp. I had seen many of the old re-runs and we watched it when I was a kid, but I am sure I never saw the really early episodes.

It is funny with the 1955 morals of what was allowed on TV. They of course had Miss Kitty, that owns the Longbranch saloon, and she had "girls" working there. But evidently they were there just to flirt. One guy that was rich and powerful had a favorite dance hall girl, but got jealous when other guys talked to her at the bar.

OK, so they expect us to believe that in the wild west days, a "pretty lady" working in the bar is just there to keep the guys there longer and drinking, and buying drinks. And the rich and powerful men of the area came there just to talk to a girl, and even told everyone that she was "his" girl and no one else can talk to her. Yea, right.

Of course in that episode 5 men were shot and killed on camera, but the mention of the what might happen upstairs at a bar with working girls can't even enter into the conversation. Sounds like the 1950 reality TV.
