It's all Gunsmoke, half-hour episodes, all day Saturday on INSP!

Yes, it's Matt, Kitty, Chester and Doc all Saturday afternoon - one of my favorite shows and the one that started the Western TV show craze in the late 50s (with The Lone Ranger). Love the show, the cast, the plots, the guest stars - oh hell, watch some Gunsmoke on a Saturday afternoon!

Who lives above the saloon. He hangs with other unattached men who have no families. He has a long time relationship with the local madam who runs the saloon. There is a drunken doctor in the mix too. Very wholesome.

I enjoyed the radio version more. William Conrad was the Matt Dillon.

I remember watching that for years, but I admit I never saw a B&W episode or one with Dennis Weaver in the cast.
