  James Arness, who played Marshall Matt Dillon of Dodge City in the old western series Gunsmoke has died.  Gunsmoke was the longest running series on TV from 1955 - 1975.  Those of us that are old enough remember that it was one of the better series we have watched.  Main characters:  Matt Dillon, Festus, Miss Kitty, Doc, etc.  Link: http://watching-tv.ew.com/2011/06/03/james-arness-dies-died-gunsmoke-died/

You forgot his first sidekick Chester (Dennis Weaver).

I loved that show and still sometimes watch re-runs.  Miss Kitty was always dressed up so pretty, and Marshall Dillon was such a gentleman.

When I was but a wee one I remember my dad insisting on watching Gunsmoke every week.

I have seen quite a lot of Gun Smoke episodes.

RIP Marshall Dillon

If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.
