No, Gunsmoke's first six seasons were not called "Marshall Dillon." The show aired under the title "Gunsmoke," featuring the character Marshall Matt Dillon, portrayed by James Arness. The series debuted on CBS in 1955 and became one of the longest-running prime-time dramas in television history. The title "Marshall Dillon" is often associated with the character but not as an official title for the show.

Matt Dillon's stuntman in "Gunsmoke" was double and stuntman, Ken Curtis. Curtis, who also played Festus Haggen on the show, performed many of the stunts required for Dillon's character, Marshal Matt Dillon, throughout the series. His involvement contributed significantly to the action sequences and overall authenticity of the western series.
The dog's name was Chester. My father lived out on a ranch in South Texas and when Chester was retired he was given to the Coquat's, the ranch owners. My father played with Chester "the movie star" when he was a little boy.
Marshall Matt Dillon, star of TV's popular Western, Gunsmoke, rode a horse named Buck. Strangely, the horse's name was only mentioned once during Gunsmoke's twenty-season run. Dillon's friend Festus had a mule called Ruth. Evidently there were TWO horses named Buck because some of the Gunsmoke episodes have Marshall Dillon riding a buckskin horse with white stockings and some of the Gunsmoke episodes have Marshall Dillon riding a buckskin horse without any white stockings.

Ken Curtis made his first appearance in "Gunsmoke" in the episode titled "Doc's Revenge," which is the 13th episode of Season 8. He portrayed the character Festus Haggen, who would later become a prominent and beloved character in the series. Curtis's introduction added a new dynamic to the show, and Festus became a staple alongside Marshal Matt Dillon.

Matt Dillon will host a new western re-enactment drama series on CBS. It was called "Gunsmoke 911" (1989). This 60-minute western series features re-enactments of bad cowboys in a saloon by calling 911 that the cowboy sheriff can get actual calls in the 1800s. Matt Dillon ended each show by him saying "I'm Matt Dillon, join us again next week for more true western on Gunsmoke... 911". The theme song for "Gunsmoke 911" (1989) was a mash-up of the Gunsmoke theme song mixed with "Rescue 911" theme song composed by Sonny Curtis. "Gunsmoke 911" was cancelled by CBS in 1996.
