Gunsmoke helped launch the great era of the TV western. Westerns became so popular on TV that by the end of the 1950s there would be as many as 40 of them airing in prime time.

The gunfight between Matt Dillon and an unknown gunman that opened every episode was shot on the same main street as that used in High Noon. With the phony anti-violence movement of the early 1970's the opening gunfight was dropped and replaced by Matt riding his horse.

It's astonishing how many the good things the fascist libtards have destroyed in America.
