Quote:Starting on September 10, 1955, and continuing for more than 600 episodes over the next twenty years, Gunsmoke ruled the airwaves. Never in the history of television had a show so captured the hearts of both youngsters and adults. Each week, Marshal Matt Dillon and his friends would face a new threat to the peace and lawfulness of their frontier home of Dodge City, Kansas-and each week, goodness and determination prevailed. It was the perfect antidote for a country still emerging from the darkness of World War II. In recognition of this, the show's golden anniversary, author Ben Costello has produced a remarkable testament to the on-screen characters and off-screen individuals who made the story lines come alive. With lead performer biographies, hundreds of episode and behind-the-scenes photographs, complete episode logs, updates on all the surviving cast members, and interviews with the show's luminaries, GUNSMOKE: An American Institution will be a favorite for fans and historians alike. Great Gift! Bought this as a gift for my dad for Christmas. He loved it! Can't stop thanking me for it. January 30, 2010 J. J.
