"Around Dodge City and in the territory out West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a US marshal and the smell of … Gunsmoke!"

Radio Westerns were strictly for kids until 1952, when Gunsmoke hit the radio airwaves. The stories were grim, the deaths brutal, and life on the plains was harsh. Radio audiences had never heard anything like Gunsmoke, and they made it the number one Western on the radio. It soon made a successful transition to television, becoming the longest-running dramatic series in television history. Join William Conrad (Marshal Matt Dillon), Parley Baer (Deputy Chester Proudfoot), Georgia Ellis (Kitty Russell), and Howard McNear (Doc Adams) in the continuing "story of the violence that moved west with young America and the story of a man who moved with it," Matt Dillon, United States marshal.

    Good Western Stories

    These very entertaining episodes are like short stories, with loose ends tied up neatly within half an hour. The stories are well written, some especially so, such as “Bum’s Rush” featuring two Civil War veterans. The sound effects are realistic, including perfectly timed dramatic pauses. The music comes across louder than the voices, however, which is one drawback. The voices of Matt Dillon, Chester, and Kitty are well done, and the show’s theme is a perfect rendering of a laid-back western song. The episodes are not laid-back, however, featuring a shooting death in nearly every one. Each episode has one commercial break at midpoint, but instead of a sponsor’s advertisement, it’s a public service announcement or a promotion of one of CBS’s upcoming shows, such as Amos ’n’ Andy and The Jack Benny Show. One of these was promoting week’s Edgar Bergen Show with Charlie McCarthy, when “Bergen’s daughter Candy, age six, would be visiting the show.” That puts you right back into 1953, when this show was aired. Overall, this is an enjoyable listen.
