    In the 1950s my family lived in a remote location in Idaho and couldn't receive TV. Our family listened to radio shows like Gunsmoke, Rin-Tin-Tin, and The Lone Ranger in the evenings. During the 1960s we finally bought our first black & white TV, and I could watch Gunsmoke.

    When Milburn Stone signed his contract to play Doc, he was business savvy enough to include a clause that he receive residuals. That was 65 years ago. Gunsmoke runs daily on different networks, and has for the nearly 50 years since it stopped production. I wonder how much his estate (and thus his heirs) continue to receive as a result of Stone's keen business acumen.

    It sounded more like the 'scene' was removed from the show, not the show itself. As a kid in the fifties and sixties, I remember gathering around the television with the 'entire' family. My grandpa and grandma, mom and dad, and four little kids. We grew up with Gunsmoke. When my Dad was in his last years, he watched reruns of Gunsmoke everyday. My sister who is our brothers care giver bought the DVDs and watches Gunsmoke with our brother. When I visit, I watch them, too. My son has been watching Gunsmoke most of his life, but also watches his own DVDs. And his two young daughters watch with him. Our cousins tell us they are all Gunsmoke Fans, from elder to child. Our friends tell us the same thing. Gunsmoke is a family tradition.

    My Aunt and Uncle and their 2 daughters and youngest son, Chuckie, would gather around the TV and have their dinner in the living room on the night Gunsmoke aired. My Aunt would hand out the plates of food and everyone would settle in. Chuckie was 12 years old on this particular night. Anyone who knew Chuckie felt that he was someone with just a little more specialness about him than most people. He had an old-soul quality about him and was very sweet, helpful, and extremely intelligent for a child his age. Well, just as Chuckie's mom handed him his plate, food flew everywhere. Sweet Chuckie had suffered an undiagnosed brain aneurysm and died on the spot. The family was never the same and Gunsmoke, of course, was never watched in their home again. The memory was too painful. I'm just writing this in his memory and to remind us all that we never know what the next second will hold. Tell everyone you love that you love them. Tell them and show them again and again, repetitively, over and over.

    Gunsmoke wasn't taken off the air because of any particular scene. CBS wanted to cancel it after 10 years, but because of audience backlash, they continued it for another 10 years! CBS then thought the series had become dated, and they replaced it with RHODA, a spin off of The Mary Tyler Moore Show!

    I started with Gunsmoke on the radio a long time ago. The early radio and TV stories showed how rough life was back then on the praries. They did tell of men with a quality to tell the truth and to stand by their words. The last two or so years the stories changed with good stand alone stories. I have almost finished with year number twenty with yet a few missed shows to fill in. I agree with all of the rememberances. Gunsmoke always, and forever!"

    Gun smoke was a great show and John Wayne was right to recommend James Arness for the role. He was absolutely perfect in it. The best episodes were the earliest seasons with Dennis Weaver as Chester. The tone of the show changed after Mr. Weaver left. Gunsmoke was incredibly popular and ran for 20 years! It was rare for any show to last that long at the time. James Arness was supposedly a very kind person on real life. We just don’t have actors like him anymore.

    Supposedly William Conrad was really upset at being passed over for the tv role of Matt Dillion due to his weight,and the fact the tv producers felt he didn’t have the right look. I’d have to agree with them. They made the right decision in choosing James Arness I couldn’t imagine anyone bringing as much to that role as he did.

    well, Conrad later had his own show, "CANNON" so he can't complain too much but no way he could have ever been the leading man Arness was. at 6'9" and a kind good face with a strong character for upholding the law and protecting people, Arness was perfection😍. Kitty was a madam but no one "ever went upstairs" and she sure had a different personality to her at the beginning than she had towards the end. At the beginning she played a coy, flirtatious saloon girl who obviously "wanted to go fishing when Matt had the time" but later she was pretty tough, got mad a lot, etc. Quite a change. I liked Dennis Weaver, loved him in Duel (you should see it if you haven't yet) and he used to go to our church and once a month he gave the lecture, very respected and a good person. I preferred Ken Curtis as Festus, he played so many parts! As for Arness, I watched him fight giant ants in Them and did you know that James Arness played the monster in the ORIGINAL Thing movie? So handsome though and manly (swoons inwardly). Oh well, I can still dream and I still have my taped episodes 💙 Sorry Miss Kitty didn't do so well in real life with men......God bless them all. what a legacy!

    Life magazine (IIRC) did an anniversary story on Gunsmoke's 20th season, in which the antagonist of the opening scene was Strange, the bar tender, who was an actual quick draw artist and actually out drew Matt in every filming. As to the popularity of Gunsmoke, the Dodge City museum had to create a special scene dedicated to Matt Dillon-- who, they had to tell viewers-- had never been a Marshal in Dodge City.

    Dennis Weaver wanted to leave Gunsmoke to star in his own show! Ken Curtis was in a few episodes of Gunsmoke and wanted to take over for Chester, He created the character of Festus, changing his voice and facial look with the squinty eye. Ken Curtis was actually quite good looking and played the role of Dolan in Mr. Roberts, as well as cavalry roles in John Wayne movies. He could also sing well and his version of " I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen, in one of the movies was great!

    Ken Curtis (Festus) was also a member of the Sons of the Pioneers. Also the man in the opening sequence (the gun fight) is the man who taught James Arnes how to draw and shoot with a pistol.

    I do not believe the "shotgun" scene ended the show. Gunsmoke appealed to an older audience, and the western genre was generally declining in popularity. There was also a trend at the time toward sitcoms and dramas with a more contemporary setting that dealt with more timely issues.

    I think the nail in the coffin for Gunsmoke was when the producer fired miss kitty . She was asking for something to ware besides the same word robe she wore for several seasons . An he was to cheep to step up an do so. They got into an argument about it an he fired her from the show . It only took one season after that it was done . The whole chemistry of the show was Matt an kitty. People stoped watching an it tanked without her . His bullheaded attitude cost them the series. He knew he screwed up when he let Amanda Blake go too.
