I was just watching Gunsmoke reruns on the new Westerns Channel, and it struck me that when we had that "phrases from movies and TV" thread way back when, we missed "Get out of Dodge!", a phrase that has also evolved into many variants such as "it's time to get out of Dodge", etc. I'm surmisin' this came from the TV Western, but I could be wrong. It *could have come out of the original history of the town, too. Anybody know?
