The scene at the shop between Marshall Dillon, Kitty, and Krego is a true gem as it demonstrates Dillon‘s commitment to justice and just plain decency. Matt Dillon, in short, represents the importance of law and order in a too often uncivilized society, and he remains one of the most enduring characters in popular culture.
Hi, Barry, you know me from a shared Facebook group or two. In some ways, the radio version is better than the TV version, and vice versa. I think Chuck Bronson as the craven, cowardly Cregan was an improvement over the original radio version. Not to take anything away from frequent radio Gunsmoke actor John Dehner, though; but he appeared in the radio show so often and played his roles so well, that he could afford to let Bronson slip past him for the "win" as Cregan.
These stories sum up the Americans...150 years later & nothing's changed!! They still walkng around with guns shooting one another!! I would NEVER EVER GO TO THAT CRAZY PLACE!!!
No way. You must not be a fan of classic OTR. The commercials and the PSA's are part of the aura of the Golden Age of Radio. Removing the commercials and PSA's would be analogous to removing seasoning from a recipe.
Keep up the good work makes the nights go by faster
Love listening to gunsmoke
I am probably younger than many listening to these. I was born the year this was broadcast.
I’m 51 I love this show

I was born probably 12 years, plus or minus a year, after this was broadcast and I love them.
That was fun for,a late morning listen. Thanja!
“I’ll see you later cowboy”

Mainly, Dillon had a perpetual hardon for Kitty.
Originally broadcast on February 13, 1954; adapted for television [featuring Charles Bronson as "Crego"] on May 26, 1956.

Whoops, looks like Lawrence Dobkin as "Radio-Cregan," not Dehner.
It was Dobkin.
That was a good one.

Besides, this was during the period when the series didn't have a sponsor; they wouldn't have one until Liggett & Myers signed on in July 1954.
