Editorial Review:

Product Description:
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 the American public. 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. In recognition of this, the show’s golden anniversary, author Ben Costello has produced a remarkable testament to the on-screen and off-screen individuals who made the story lines come alive.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - There is more to the saga, though.
The 20 seasons of Gunsmoke were a record breaker. But there are still
more Gunsmoke genres that deserves coverage.

The prequel radio series, the five sequel made-for-TV movies, the comic book series
and coloring books, but most of all those exciting 16 or more Tie-In Novels!

Plus, fans of US Marshal Matt Dillon deserve to know what happens to
his daughter Beth Dillon, portrayed so well by the beautiful Amy Stock-
Poyton.
