"Good evening. My name's Wayne. Some of you may have seen me
before; I hope so. I've been kicking around Hollywood a long
time. I've made a lot of pictures out here, all kinds, and some of
them have been Westerns. And that's what I'm here to tell you about
tonight: a Western-a new TV show called
Gunsmoke. No, I'm not in it. I wish I were, though,
because I think it's the best thing of its kind that's come along,
and I hope you'll agree with me; it's honest, it's adult, it's
realistic. When I first heard about the show
Gunsmoke, I knew there was only one man to play in
it:James Arness. He's a young fellow, and maybe new to some of you,
but I've worked with him and I predict he'll be a big star. So you
might as well get used to him, like you've had to get used to
me! And now I'm proud to present my friend Jim Arness in
Gunsmoke."

That quote from John Wayne in the opening episode started it
all. After 634 more episodes, Gunsmoke was and STILL IS the longest
running primetime live-action series in TV history. It beat out Law
and Order(which just closed it's doors on production after 20
years)by 159 episodes!


While James Arness as Matt Dillon was the obvious mainstay,
there were many co-stars over the years who added to the show
quality and appeal. Amanda Blake as Miss Kitty, Milburn Stone as
"Doc" Adams, Burt Reynolds as Quint Asper, Ken Curtis as Festus
Hagen and of course, MY FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR BUCK TAYLOR
as Newly O'Brien.
