Started watching Gunsmoke reruns, the early years when it was still a half hour show and I can wee why millions tuned in each week back in the 1950's and early 60's. Dodge City was a violent town but Marshall Matt Dillon, Deputy Chester Goode, Miss Kitty and Doc Adams were family to each other and that's what makes the show so great..
A talented cast and good writing as well.

Gunsmoke is a nice sabbatical from what's going on right now in the news.
