I am 87 now but i still watch all the Gun Smoke series. i worked on ranch that supplied horses ,cattle and cowboys for this series. This series was filmed most of the time in Thousand Oaks before it was built up , James was a very nice man,
I loved Gunsmoke and James Arness. I'm 73yrs old and I watched Gunsmoke with my Dad since I was 5yrs old. My Dad really liked James Arness. I get channels on my TV and I'm watching all the Westerns like I did with Dad
We watch Gunsmoke on a daily basis. My partner is 88 I am 80. We love it, even repeats are good. We loved the story about James Arness' life. Very interesting. Thank you.
I enjoyed watching Gunsmoke for many years. The show was so good, you didn't care about his personal life. He was excellent in his role as Marshall Matt Dillion. He and his brother Peter Graves were great actors, I enjoyed Mission Impossible as well. Both series were well made with excellent acting by all on these series. Excellent television.
Love gun smoke watched whenI was a kid and I watch it now I’m over 70 loved James Arnes as Matt Dillon. Also kitty Amanda Blake.plus the rest of the cast.I watch every day.I’m glad it’s still on.😁❤️❤️
Something else i never knew was that Peter Graves was James Arness brother .but now after learning this i definitely see the resemblance to one another .
LOL, I grew up watching "Gunsmoke" and his brother "Mission Impossible" , but seriously this desperately needed editing for sure. There is no documentation here of any real " Family finally sets {All) the rumors. Nothing here at all outside of borrowed social media hype, public domain Hollywood. Really? Give a bit of kudos, for personal subscribing efforts and all. But could use serious AI narration work. I'm not convinced to subscribe onto the fine grey line of legality issues concerning the edge of copyright infringements. but fairly done yahoo
Gunsmoke should never leave entertainment. I t holds much history in our nation that can educate those interested in our American history based on the stories that have truth. May Gunsmoke live forever.
i am 82. istill watch gunsmoke. i really like it. it is wholesome entertainment . i really like the main characters. i like the idea of being able to watch gunsmoke anytime. i have never been disappointed
That’s not true, there was never a ‘riff’ between James and John. John understood exactly the commitments James had with his studio career and family. John didn’t want to make things more stressful on James and more complicated with Mr Stone. And John knew James was dealing some physical challenges.
I enjoy watchung Gunsmoke James Arness was a great actor on that show. Everyone on Gunsmoke were great actors and actresses. His brother was a great actor as well I loved both of them noone was as good as them on the TV showes and in the Movies they also did❤❤❤
We watch it everynight ❤❤ i am 88 and my partner is 80. Love the less violent shows. Hardly ever watch any gore. We feel like we are part of the town that Dillon runs😊😊😊❤
Arness was 6'7" tall and was drafted into the army.He was first out of the water craft at Anzio Beachhead in Jan 1944. He was severely wounded in right leg during the Battle of Anzio. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Ever notice his limp during the Gunsmoke series?
GUNSMOKE WAS ''LA LEY DEL REVOLVER'' IN PUERTO RICO AND WE GREW WITH MARSHALL DILLON WHAT AN ICON FOR US KIDS .I AM 71 YEARS OLD NOW AND WATCHED MARSHALL DILLON EVERY DAY.THANKS GOD FOR AMERICAN TELEVISION
My Grandmother, who died at age 102, watched Gunsmoke since day one. My Aunt recorded reruns up until her death.. That was the only show she would watch. She would not watch anything else because of language or too racey. I always felt she had a crush on Matt Dillion. When I stayed with her I would watch the reruns with her and fast forward the advertisements. My Grandmother was a Lovely, lovely Southern Lady. Matt Dillion, Gunsmoke, kept her entertained for most of her life!
Wow never knew or heard anything about this .and I thought I kept up with pop culture .which Gun Smoke most definitely had a cult like following all through its life in syndicated television reruns .my father being a couple years older than James was a big time fan of westerns in general but Gunsmoke and John Wayne movies were his favorite .along with the Rifleman and several of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti movies as they were later called due to their cheaply made in South America if I'm not mistaken .they would use all foreign locals as extras and even sometimes co-staring roles where they would do overdubs vocals like in all the Bruce Lee movies both simular in nature as being so cheaply made with the only real lare acting salaries they had to worry about was the main character like Clint Eastwood .those spaghetti westerns made a fortune in syndication and home videos when in fact they were some of the least expensive movies ever made comparable in cost to generic low budget films
I still watch Gunsmoke daily. I am older lady who never had a chance to watch TV in the 60 and 70's, but now make up for lost time. Retired 😭 and watching only good, clean programs like Gunsmoke.
Ironically, Chester was the one with a bad leg in the series. But in real life, Dennis Weaver almost made the Olympics as a track star. I guess they gave Chester a bum leg to distract from Arness - who really did have one.
You’re talking about James and most of the video shows his brother Peter Graves. What’s with that? There’s even a few shots of the Wyatt Earp TV show weird
I'm 67 years old...grew up with Gunsmoke. Still watch it. James Arness is a hero in my mind. Showing the difference between right and wrong! God bless him!
An added plus the narrator is not even pronouncing his last name correctly I remember watching it and the narrator on the show would say and James Arness as Matt Dillon
The names are awfully wrongly spelled!! Who did these terrible subtitles, at least have the names correctly spelled!Furthermore it was a boring narrator who told us everything we already knew!
Pretty pathetic-you’re pronouncing his last name incorrectly & couldn’t get through three minutes of this because instead off showing James, some of what you’re showing is actually of his brother. 🙄
Is this a story about James Arness, Peter Graves, or Joseph Cotton? Do you not know the difference? As well, the computer-generated voice can't seem to pronounce "Arness". A really sloppy presentation, made worse by the non-human narration. Did you find it necessary to state that James Arness had a "unique connection to Gunsmoke"??? Who would have guessed. Mr. Arness certainly deserves much better than this incredibly careless "production".
I am 79 and watch GunSmoke all the time on METV. I watched it as a young person and still love Matt.
I’m 68 my father was a big gunsmoke fan and it also grew on myself and my husband. I seen so many reruns but never get tired of watching the show.
I am 87 now but i still watch all the Gun Smoke series. i worked on ranch that supplied horses ,cattle and cowboys for this series. This series was filmed most of the time in Thousand Oaks before it was built up , James was a very nice man,
That sounds like it would have been very interesting life
Gunsmoke was one of the best westerns on TV. All of the actors were great.
I loved Gunsmoke and James Arness. I'm 73yrs old and I watched Gunsmoke with my Dad since I was 5yrs old. My Dad really liked James Arness. I get channels on my TV and I'm watching all the Westerns like I did with Dad
I'm 73 and I started watching Gunsmoke when I was 5 too. It came on Saturdays at 8:00 PM EST- right after Lawrence Welk, I think.
I am 75 I love Gunsmoke watch it all the time
We watch Gunsmoke on a daily basis. My partner is 88 I am 80. We love it, even repeats are good. We loved the story about James Arness' life. Very interesting. Thank you.
Why were there's so much time and pictures on Peter Graves instead of James Arness?
Love Gunsmoke 💘 from the beginning until the last episode, from 10 yrs old until now 78 yrs old
I loved Gunsmoke and all the characters James Arness especially!
I used to enjoy watching "Gunsmoke" with my grandfather when visiting him.
Still watching every day inspire❤️❗️

Poor narration ….. showing Peter Graves (the younger brother) when talking about James Arness.
They do this all the time. Showing pictures that have nothing to do with what's being said. So frustrating!
WE WATCH GUNSMOKE EVERY DAY, OUR FAVORITE SHOW. GREAT ACTORS ESPECIALLY JAMES ARNESS AND GREAT WRITERS. OLDER SHOWS ARE ALWAYS THE VERY BEST
I still watch Gunsmoke everyday. I love James Arness and all of the cast members
I watch it everyday on Pluto TV, and on METV. Watching it right now as a matter of fact. Best Western EVER!!!!
Something else i never knew was that Peter Graves was James Arness brother .but now after learning this i definitely see the resemblance to one another .
Confusing your showing the brother back and forth which one is the commentary about? Lol. They are two different people.

The actor that was cannon on TV was.the voice of Matt Dillon on radio
My Grandmother, who died at age 102, watched Gunsmoke since day one. My Aunt recorded reruns up until her death.. That was the only show she would watch. She would not watch anything else because of language or too racey. I always felt she had a crush on Matt Dillion. When I stayed with her I would watch the reruns with her and fast forward the advertisements. My Grandmother was a Lovely, lovely Southern Lady. Matt Dillion, Gunsmoke, kept her entertained for most of her life!
Love Gunsmoke! Always a favorite!!! All the main characters in show were great! Still watch this show often!!❤
Both James and Peter were very handsome, and very good actors.
I for.one.remenbered gun smoke on the radio
What i didn't like about the show was, he was always out of town when it was clear there was trouble waiting to hapen.
Jim & Janet wrote a Christmas letter every year on their website.
Dad's love is forever, I think of my dad. He wasn't an actor.
Love Gunsmoke ❤ we still watch the reruns ❤️❤️💖💕
I love GUNSMOKE. Still watch when I can
My childhood hero😊
GUNSMOKE was retitled GUN LAW for transmission by Independant Television in the UK in the late 1950s and had a different opening sequence.
Wow never knew or heard anything about this .and I thought I kept up with pop culture .which Gun Smoke most definitely had a cult like following all through its life in syndicated television reruns .my father being a couple years older than James was a big time fan of westerns in general but Gunsmoke and John Wayne movies were his favorite .along with the Rifleman and several of the Clint Eastwood spaghetti movies as they were later called due to their cheaply made in South America if I'm not mistaken .they would use all foreign locals as extras and even sometimes co-staring roles where they would do overdubs vocals like in all the Bruce Lee movies both simular in nature as being so cheaply made with the only real lare acting salaries they had to worry about was the main character like Clint Eastwood .those spaghetti westerns made a fortune in syndication and home videos when in fact they were some of the least expensive movies ever made comparable in cost to generic low budget films
The Clint Eastwood spaghetti Westerns were all shot in Italy and Spain.@@johnhagan582
❤I love guns moke I watch it every day handsome & talented❤
I still watch Gunsmoke daily. I am older lady who never had a chance to watch TV in the 60 and 70's, but now make up for lost time. Retired 😭 and watching only good, clean programs like Gunsmoke.
Hi
Ironically, Chester was the one with a bad leg in the series. But in real life, Dennis Weaver almost made the Olympics as a track star. I guess they gave Chester a bum leg to distract from Arness - who really did have one.
I watch gunsmoke everyday one of my favorite shows
You keep on showing his brother
Still watch it
You’re talking about James and most of the video shows his brother Peter Graves. What’s with that? There’s even a few shots of the Wyatt Earp TV show weird
We watch Gunsmoke averyday
I'm 67 years old...grew up with Gunsmoke. Still watch it. James Arness is a hero in my mind. Showing the difference between right and wrong! God bless him!
Well done!I still watch it everyday!GOD BLESS HIM... from Paul Baker
Is that John Denver in the thumbnail?
An added plus the narrator is not even pronouncing his last name correctly I remember watching it and the narrator on the show would say and James Arness as Matt Dillon
Me too i loved Gunsmoke
Nice person
It might be nice if he could pronounce his last name right.
Amen
Leave these ppl 😅❤❤
Amen !!!!
LOVE GUNSMOKE WATCH IT NEARLY EVERY DAY
Great information. Weird AI voice.
Who is John they are talking about
Love the content but cannot stand the narrator who often mispronounces words.
Very poignant summary of a poignant character in a poignant series. Might have over used that word a wee bit... Good summary though!
The names are awfully wrongly spelled!!
Who did these terrible subtitles, at least have the names correctly spelled!Furthermore it was a boring narrator who told us everything we already knew!
Does anybody know that John Wayne had shoes specially made for him because his feet small
Who cares!!!.
So whats the title implying.
These stupid titles are useless.
Pretty pathetic-you’re pronouncing his last name incorrectly & couldn’t get through three minutes of this because instead off showing James, some of what you’re showing is actually of his brother. 🙄
