Having recently finished listening to every episode in series, I did come across a few episodes with lost segments such as you experienced. Thankfully, the vast majority of the Gunsmoke radio series has survived intact and will likely remain so until the end of time.
For an Old West "CSI" there's always the Richard Boone series, Hec Ramsey, in which an aging ex-gunfighter solves murder mysteries utilizing the latest "state of the art" forensics technology of the turn of the 19th-to-20th Century when fingerprints and ballistics were becoming recognized as evidence and identifiers in determining the "whodunnits."
Audio (and visual) quality of vintage media always has its ups and downs. Skipping due to that reason ultimately just robs yourself of the experience. I'll take the poor quality over nothing at all, myself.
@@Stalinfalcon I'd completely agree, though with the radio show's repertoire of 470+ episodes and my acquired understanding of the Gunsmoke characterization and plot formula, I elected to assume "they either lived happily ever after or NOT" and just skipped to the next episode with better audio quality. 🙂

Doc could have been in a spin-off of Gunsmoke - CSI: Dodge City.

Or there is ‘The Tales of the Texas Rangers’.
Really bad sound quality on this one; had to cut to the next episode, ten minutes in.
