Matt Dillon (James Arness) is in charge of Dodge City, a town in the Wild West where people often have no respect for the law. He deals on a daily basis with the problems associated with frontier life: cattle rustling, gunfights, brawls, stand over tactics, and land fraud. Such situations call for sound judgment and brave actions: Of which Marshal Dillon has plenty.

Also pleased with the releasing rate as a new young fan
Yes, I have to agree with the before-poster -it is a much better rate to release each half-a-season every two months!We won't get them to release full seasons like the first, so let's stay happy,IF they carry on with this releasing rate!16 more seasons to go...with this rate it would take 64 months for all twenty seasons...only five/six years...this would be acceptable, especially for the long-time fans.I've been knowing Gunsmoke only for about 4 months now, been a western-fan (Bonanza, John Wayne etc)all my 30-year-young life - but I never experienced such a great atmosphered show like Gunsmoke.Never watched one of the later episodes for I wanna start with the early ones......so I am excited what is about to come when sometime Chester will leave and Festus is aboutto join the crew (whom I don't know yet...)Here in good old Germany the Gunsmoke DVDs can only be purchased from the US, so it takes me a little waiting each time I order a DVD but it's worth the waiting.I am really happy that this great actor and friend of John Wayne'sJames Arness is still with us in good health. Recently I been visiting his website,where a statement says he still reads his email fanpost, sure he hardly replies a one at 88,but I think - why not writing him some nice lines as long he's still with us...one of the great actors of the 20th century!!!Keep Gunsmoke alive...(and keep up those releasing rates, please!!!! ;-)Chris from Germany

Among the Best of Classic Westerns
Gunsmoke provides western-lovers with a family-friendly great show that emphasizes character, law & order, and good plain common sense. This half-season, as well as all previous episodes, provide a breath of fresh air in an age when many of the most entertaining movies have drifted from such character-building values. It is amazing to me that the writers were successful in making the plot and storyline consistently excellent and among the best of the classic Westerns from season to season for so many consecutive seasons. I cannot think of one episode to date that felt weak or that let me down.Definitely a great addition for the video library of anyone who likes the Western genre, or who likes solid character and good role models in the primary characters, and a strengthening of the ideas of justice, fair play, the rule of law, and even compassion and wisdom throughout.

Great series, BUT WAY OVERPRICED!
Great series, BUT WAY OVERPRICED! Those blood sucking Hollywood Elites give us half the season for twice the price. They also release them so slowly most of us who watched it "first run" will be dead before the last season is released. I won't pay those high prices, I keep waiting for Amazon to put a box on sale at reasonable price. I'm glad they run them on still TV, However, I will be dead before I see them at a reasonable price.

Gunsmoke is a great series. The problem is with the case
Gunsmoke is a great series. The problem is with the case. The plastic thing that holds the dvds arrived broken, so my dvds are loose in the case. The part that is broken is the bottom piece that holds the three dvds in the binding of the case. It's not that big of a deal I guess, but I am paying for it. Can't I have it intact? It won't keep me from purchasing Gunsmoke. Could they possibly put it in a cardboard container and this would be less likely to occur? The manilla envelope looked like it had some kind of tire tracks on it. I give the shipping a 1 out of 5. disappointed

CBS keeps them coming!
It is starting to look as if CBS is going to release all the half-hour episodes after all. This set concludes the fourth season and a number of episodes were adapted from the radio programs. The picture quality is superb. It doesn't get any better. My only gripe, if I can provide one, is the lack of bonus extras. But if you are going to collect the series on DVD, this is the way to go. Columbia House, incidentally, released the first three and a half seasons on DVD and because I already bought those a few years ago, I was pleased to see that CBS, duplicating Columbia House's efforts, didn't stop where CH did. Keep up the good work and more extras please!

Great Great buy
Bought these for my husband, who loves westerns. The content is top-notch, and lives up to its reputation. They appear to be uncut episodes, nothing cut off or omitted that I can see and I love the printed episode guide in the cover, so that if you want to play a particular episode, you can easily see what you want, but the DVD plays continuously if you choose

A snapshot of a different world, different time
I first watched this show growing up...it was on early on the weekend. Then DVDs became accessible and you could own TV shows on DVD. Amazon.ca has been my source for Gunsmoke DVDs. It is an awesome show...depicting a different time and the only show I know that ran for 25 years. It is a show my Dad and I can agree on. The characters are timeless! Watch it and see.
