Interesting Facts
• "Gunsmoke" started as a CBS radio program in 1952. Because of its popularity, the producers decided to make "Gunsmoke" into a television program and offered the Marshall Dillon role to actor John Wayne. Wayne turned it down because he didn't want to commit to a weekly tv program, but he recommended James Arness for the part. It was a perfect fit as James Arness became a star for his role as Marshall Matt Dillon.
• For six years, from 1955 - 1961, "Gunsmoke" was a 30 minute television program. The show was expanded to an hour starting in September, 1961 and it stayed this way for the next fourteen years that it aired.
• James Arness (Marshall Matt Dillon) and Milburn Stone (Doc) are the only two people who played their roles for the entire 20 year time period that "Gunsmoke" aired on television. Had Amanda Blake (Kitty) stayed one more year, she would have been the third person. She left the show in 1974, one year before they stopped making new "Gunsmoke" tv episodes.
• Because "Gunsmoke" had been on television for such a long time, there were occasions when new episodes of "Gunsmoke" were on tv at the same time that old "Gunsmoke" episodes were being shown. To help avoid confusion, the studio renamed the old "Gunsmoke" shows "Marshall Dillon."
