Thick 'n Thin: Grits, Guns, and a Friendship on the Brink
Description
Originally Aired: September 16, 1956
In Gunsmoke #232, “Thick 'n Thin,” long-time partners Odie Perkins and Brace McCoy are at war—over sour grits. What starts as a spat over cooking spirals into a full-blown feud, with bullets flying between barn and house on their shared homestead. Marshal Matt Dillon steps in to restore order, but it’ll take more than jail time and lectures to mend this stubborn friendship. Enter Summer Dove, a wise and capable Kiowa woman with culinary skills that could bring even the most bullheaded cowboys back to the table. A witty and warm episode exploring pride, reconciliation, and the small things that matter most.
Cast: William Conrad, Vic Perron, Barney Phillips, Peggy Rea
