Quote During the 20-year span of CBS’s Gunsmoke series, the count ranges from 138 men and seven women to 303 people. If you add in the ones U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon capped in the made-for-TV movies, the total is 407. Some of those bad guys might have only been wounded, and some might have died of their wounds later. Apparently Matt even got "lucky"once: Did you know that Matt Dillon had a kid on ‘Gunsmoke’?

The stories take place in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. The central character is lawman Marshal Matt Dillon, played by William Conrad on radio and James Arness on television. When aired in the UK, the television series was initially titled Gun Law, later reverting to Gunsmoke. The radio series ran from 1952 to 1961. John Dunning wrote that among radio drama enthusiasts, "Gunsmoke is routinely placed among the best shows of any kind and any time I work harder than a ugly stripper....

Several of whom I knew well enough to call "friend". Jim's injuries hurt him badly in his later years. I saw those with my own eyes in his dressing room, as we were talking. Seems like such a long time ago... Rockinbar, you are certainly correct. As you knew Jim at that time, I am sure you know that in the last few years of the show, Jim could do almost no horse back riding due to his WW II injuries. He would mount his horse, start to ride away, then the camera would do a cutaway and the next time you saw "Matt" riding out, galloping or whatever, it was his stunt double doing the hard riding. Seems German machine gun bullets can do that to a man. Jim Arness was a very nice man, one of the best in Hollywood. Were youi working on the show?? L.W.

Knew Jim, Buck Taylor and Ken Curtis through the YO Ranch in Kerrville, where they frequented. Later, I did a movie with Buck and Jim. That's where Jim and I got to be pretty good friends. At least we had some good visits.. And I'm richer for having known him. Burt Kennedy was a gem too. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

They're all gone now except Buck Taylor, and he's beginning to get a little long in the tooth, also. (Aren't we all? ) I was acquainted with Burt Kennedy but he never directed any of my shows. L.W.

Saw him in another movie one time playing a heavy and couldn’t believe. Also won a few bar bets back in the day with Ken Curtis’ singing. Festus had a great voice singing in the big band era.
