Gunsmoke – 1952-1961

Matt Dillon was the Marshall of Dodge City, Kansas in this thirty-minute western adventure. There were over 480 episodes broadcast in the 9 years it had spanned. The opening of the show left little doubt that Dillon was the law; "Around Dodge City, and into the territory on the west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers: that's with a US Marshall and the smell of gunsmoke! Gunsmoke! … Starring William Conrad the story of the violence that moved west with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man … Matt Dillon. United States marshal … the first man they look for, and the last man they want to meet … it's a chancy job, and it makes man watchful … and a little lonely."
