Yes, in the early seasons of "Gunsmoke," the main character, Marshal Matt Dillon, was sometimes referred to simply as "Marshall Dillon" by other characters. However, the title "Marshal" was more commonly used throughout the series. The show focused on the challenges he faced as a lawman in the Old West, and his character became iconic in American television history.
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.
James Arness FYI, James Arness and Peter Graves were brothers.
The TV show did not have 64 episodes in any one season. Episode 64 from the radio show was called Grass.
Charlie Daniels had a song called "It's My Life"
There is a website called Musicians Friend that offers Marshall Vintage Modern amps. The site is offering one for sale at $1400.00. Not bad, considering the MSRP is $2500.00-$2700.00.
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.
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.
No middle name or initial was ever given for him - just Matthew Dillon.
James Arness FYI, James Arness and Peter Graves were brothers.
