Gunsmoke was set in Dodge City, Kansas; the year,
arbitrarily, was 1873. Crusty old Doc Adams, the only
cast member besides Arness to stay with the show
for its entire twenty year run, was the town's kindly,
sympathetic physician. Doc spent most of his spare time,
as did many of Dodge City's residents, at the Longbranch
Saloon, which was owned and operated by Kitty Russell.
Kitty was extremely softhearted, beneath what could be a
very businesslike exterior. Kitty had eyes for Matt Dillon,
a dauntless and fearless United States Marshal.
Matt's loyal, well-meaning deputy was Chester goode,
who walked with a pronounced limp, talked with a twang,
and brewed a mean pot of coffee. Chester left the
series in 1964 and was replaced by Festus Haggen, the
scruffy hillbilly deputy who remained for the rest of
the run. Matt Dillon set the tone of the show throughout
its long life, standing for justice, sincerity, and truth.
