Gunsmoke on Television

Gunsmoke is the longest running dramatic series in the history of television. Gunsmoke was first aired in September of 1955 and ran strong for the next 20 years before it's final episode wich aired in September of 1975. Gunsmoke started a longtime trend for westerns. At one time there were 30 westerns on television in one season, but Gunsmoke out lasted them all.

Two of the stars, James Arnez as Marshal Matt Dillon and Milburn Stonee as Doc Adams, the towns only doctor. Gunsmoke was one of the earliest "adult westerns," centering around the exploits of Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness) in the frontier town of Dodge City, Kansas in 1873. Most of the other westerns were baised on fictional characters, such as The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Casidy, both of which were movies and radio shows.

When first-run prime-time episodes of Gunsmoke expanded to an hour in Fall 1961, CBS-TV reran the half-hour episodes as Marshal Dillon on the network on Tuesday nights from 1961 through 1964. These were later rerun in syndication. General syndication ended in the 1980s, but they do air occasionally on cable TV. Local stations would show the re-titled Marshal Dillon version of the series, while the series under the original Gunsmoke title (with some episodes under the Marshal Dillon retitling) were seen in the late 1990s on TV Land. Me-TV currently airs this version under the Marshall Dillon title. 1961–1966 Gunsmoke one-hour black-and-white episodes: These episodes have not been widely seen in regular syndication since the 1980s, although selected episodes did air from the mid 1980s through the early 1990s on CBN Cable and The Family Channel, and later on the Encore Westerns Channel on a three-year contract that ended circa 2006. As of January 2010, Encore Westerns is again airing the episodes. 1966–1975 Gunsmoke one-hour color episodes: The last nine seasons of the Western, these are the most widely syndicated episodes of the entire series' run and are still aired on many stations, including a popular run on TV Land from 1996 to 2011. Me-TV now airs these episodes.
