Where To Watch
MeTV remembers Burt Reynolds with a special week of Gunsmoke episodes
Watch the actor in his favorite role, plus an episode of The Twilight Zone.
As a tribute to the life of the Burt Reynolds, who recently passed away, MeTV will feature appearances by the late actor in special episodes of The Twilight Zone and Gunsmoke. All next week, Monday, September 10, through Saturday, September 15, we will showcase episodes of Gunsmoke, centered around his portrayal of the character Quint Asper.
"For many years (45 to be exact) I have been asked, 'What were the best times for you growing up as an actor?,'" Reynolds once wrote in the introduction to James Arness' autobiography. "Without hesitation, I have always said, 'The 2½ years I was on Gunsmoke.' They were for me 'the best of times.'"
Before we revisit these "best of times," our tribute kicks off on Sunday with an hour-long episode of The Twilight Zone, in which Reynolds plays an actor inspired by Marlon Brando.
