The Marshal is Back in Town!
| See how it all began with the first season of the longest-running dramatic series in the history of television -- Gunsmoke! Recapture the spirit of the American frontier with plain-talking Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness), kindly saloon-keeper Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake), irascible Doc Adams (Milburn Stone) and tender-hearted but gullible Deputy Chester Goode (Dennis Weaver) as they uphold the law and bring respectability to the rough and tough town of Dodge City, Kansas. All 39 episodes from Season One of this classic western action-drama are available together for the first time ever in this digitally resmastered 6-disc collection. So put your feet up, relax for a spell and journey back to Dodge with Gunsmoke: The First Season! |
"...explored "contemporary" themes, such as the rights of minorities, within a noncontroversial setting. Robert David Sullivan, Boston Phoenix
"...a sure bet for genre and classic television fans. Highly Recommended. Stuart Galbraith, IV, DVD Talk
"...an out-and-out fun show that manages to push its genre forward with complex characters and situations. Dylan Charles, DVD Verdict
"Gunsmoke was not only the most popular western to ever air on television, it was one of the very best straight dramas in television history... Paul Mavis, DVD Talk

Editor's Note
James Arness vaulted into the annals of television history with his iconic portrayal of U.S. Marshall Matt Dillon in the long-running television Western GUNSMOKE. Armed with a quick draw and an even quicker wit, the principled and intelligent Marshall Dillon brought peace and righteousness to the lawless frontier of 1800s Dodge City with the help of his trusted deputy, Chester Goode (Dennis Weaver), his friend Doc Adams (Milburn Stone), and saloon keeper Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake). This collection presents the series' debut season in its entirety.
