Western's

stealthy,If I remember correctly Dennis Weaver was on first,then Ken Curtis came.My grandfather looked like Festus.I named my oldest son Matthew,from th bible and from Marshall Dillon.My second son I named Cameron from the actor Cameron Mitchell that was Uncle Buck in "High Chapparel".My favorite show when I was pregnant with my daughter was "Dr Quinn:Medicine Woman" and I named my daughter Michaela.You think I like westerns or what. DonnaLawson,Thank you for putting up the cast list thru their long time on the air.

Donna, thinks for the cast list. I guess I was not as clear as I had hoped to be in expressing my lack of memory about the characters and I certainly did not intend to make you feel stupid. It took me a few minutes to remember Dennis Weaver's name and I obviously couldn't remember his characters name. I just remembered he was on it and I thought he was the one with the limp because of a stiff leg and that maybe he was the saying "Mr. Dillion" in that way and singing the little song but that may have been Festus.

I mentioned Chester in my response and then read yours and thought, boy, am I stupid, I figured that I had gotten the name all wrong, so I looked it up and found a list of the main characters and the years they were on Gunsmoke.. Makes me feel better, I ain't so dumb after all.. Marshal Matt Dillon..... James Arness Dr. Galen "Doc" Adams..... Milburn Stone Kitty Russell (1955-1974)..... Amanda Blake Chester Goode (1955-1964)..... Dennis Weaver Festus Haggen (1964-1975)..... Ken Curtis Quint Asper (1962-1965)..... Burt Reynolds Sam, The Bartender (1961-1974)..... Glenn Strange Clayton "Thad" Thaddeus Greenwood (1965-1967)..... Roger Ewing Newly O'Brien (1967-1975)..... Buck Taylor Moss Grimmick (1955-1963)..... George Selk Mr. Jonus (1955-1960).....

Thats a pretty name, I agree Jane is a beautiful women, I watched her on the Dancing with the Stars, she did really good. I always thought Sully was hot.

Yes indeed,Sully is hot!

I wish Dr Quinn was still on too.The man that played Sully was in one of the soap opera's I used to watch.I really like Jane Seymour,she is beautiful and a good actress.I was pregnant with my daughter while that was my favorite show and I named my daughter Michaela.At the same time there were a lot of girls born at that hospital named Michaela too.

I remember Rawhide and the older Gunsmoke shows.But,I liked the newer ones because Festus looked like my grandpa.I saw many Roy Rogers movies.My mom loves Roy Rogers.We had many Roy Rogers restaurants around here and now they only have a few.I love those restaurants .One time Roy Rogers came as a promotional visit to a restaurant.

Oh my gosh,we had to get home from school everyday to see Flint at 4:00. A few years ago I saw that actor and he has gotten so ugly.

I had the biggest crush on Matt Dillon (james Arnez) and Festus (Ken Curtis) looked like my grandfather.And my grandfather was my favorite person.

John Wayne was a really great actor.

When they came up with the idea for "Gunsmoke", the actor they originally wanted to play Matt Dillon was John Wayne. He'd didn't feel ready to give up movies so he declined but he also said he knew a young actor who would be great in the role. James Arness.
