James Arness played Marshal Matt Dillon during the 20-year time frame, the longest continuous period that an actor the same role in the same show in prime-time has played. (Kelsey Grammer has since placed a roll peel record as Frasier Crane, but this role took place in two different series, Cheers and Frasier ).

Gunsmoke from 1955 to 1961 was a half hour program, then it became a horary program. From 1955 to 1965, the series was broadcast in black and white, then (from 1965 to 1975) in color. In the early 1960s older episodes of the series were rebroadcast under the name Marshal Dillon.

In 1967, the twelfth season, CBS decided to stop the series. The overwhelming amount of comments, which even in Congress was called, along with the pressure that the head of the programming was by his own wife, CBS was still convinced to the series to continue. The broadcast was shifted from Saturday to Monday evening.

In 1987 came a large part of the original actors together for the TV movie Gunsmoke: Return to Dodge, which in Alberta (Canada) was filmed. This was a great success and led to four reunion films, which in the US were taken up: Gunsmoke: The Last Apache (1990), Gunsmoke: To the Last Man (1992), Gunsmoke: The Long Ride (1993), and Gunsmoke: One man's Justice (1994). The series was also the inspiration for the videopelGunsmoke. ==Actors<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Episodes<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] ==
