Asked by Wiki User

What time period was the TV series Gunsmoke set in?
Asked by Wiki User
This is an interesting question. The original 1/2 hour shows started with Matt making a speech while he was walking out on Boot Hill (the burial site located out from town). The markers clearly show dates of 1872 and 1873. Now, Dodge City wasn't really Dodge City until 1872, and then they didn't get a Marshall there until 1875. If we suppose that the writers are trying to stay true to life, then I would say from 1875 on. Guns, gunbelts, rifles, saddlery, etc., are not true to period, but so what?! Just sit back and enjoy the story.

When was Chester on Gunsmoke?
Asked by Wiki User
The same actor that stared in Urban Cowboy. I'm a bit rusty on the name but I'm in danger of remembering. Will update with answer when it comes to mind.
If memory serves, that would be Dennis Weaver.
Dennis Weaver did play Chester on Gunsmoke. He also played Marshall Sam McCloud in the eponymous series, McCloud. John Travolta was the Urban Cowboy.
Parley Baer played Chester in the original radio series, starting in 1952. You may remember him as Mayor Roy Stoner on the Andy Griffith Show. Baer ad-libbed Chester's full name as Chester Wesley Proudfoot. Baer was quoted as saying Chester was his most enjoyable role in his long career. Baer passed away in 2002 at the age of 88.
Was beer served in Gunsmoke?
Asked by Wiki User
The finished scenes that make up our favorite TV programs are but a tip of the iceberg. Many scenes are shot numerous times in order to get the one that is perfect according to what the director wants. If the actors drank real alcohol they would be too drunk to finish the day's work. Apple juice makes a great stand-in for beer and whiskey and although the actors may have to take extra trips to the 'outhouse', they are at least able to finish the requested dialog without slurring their words.
What was William Blakes personality like?
Asked by Wiki User
William Blake's poems can be seen as refering to his own religious views, which was to believe in God without the going to church. He thought the church was 'blackening' (From the poem called 'London').
It can also be seen in 'The Tyger' that he has a strong dislike towards the industrial revolution.
Many of his poems are sister poems (or couplet poems) which means they go together, for example, 'The Lamb' and 'The Tyger' or the two 'Nurse's song' poems. They often give different views of Innocence and Experience which can link to before and after the fall of mankind in the story of Eden with Adam and Eve.

It was Arvo Ojala (known as "The Man In Black") from the first show until 1964. This opening was shot on the lot. From 1964-1966, it was Fred McDougall, and the scene was obviously shot on a sound stage indoors. The color opening, again outdoors, was shot with Bill Strathman.

Gunsmoke was TV's longest running drama comedy What was the second longest?
Asked by Wiki User
Gunsmoke is certainly not the longest running comedy & depending on how exactly you're defining 'Drama', American/U.K./Australasian Soap Operas have lasted years or decades longer than Gunsmoke.
You have to specify 'Longest Running American Drama', since it's not THE longest running drama.
The U.K.'s medical drama, Causality has aired since 1986 and continues today (01|01|15) as well as Germany's police drama, Tatort has aired since 1970 & Japan's historical drama, Zenigata Heiji has aired since 1952 both of which are apparently still on the air today.
There was also a teen drama from the U.K., Grange Hillthat aired for 30 years.
Having said all that, the answer to the question of 'what was the second longest running drama' & presuming you're strictly speaking of American shows, the answer appears to be Lassie if soap operas are excluded & if we're not counting the fact Gunsmoke and Law & Order are tied for the longest running American drama.
