GUNSMOKE on CBS Radio (1952-1961). The western ran for nine seasons from the golden age of radio. It reached 40 million listeners at its' peak. The adult western was a hit with critics and fans. Because of its' popularity. CBS created the "Gunsmoke" TV western that ran for twenty seasons (1955-1975). The radio cast was not used for the television cast.
"Gunsmoke" radio has 480 episodes on the Internet. I have at least 100 top favorites. I've knocked them down to 25 episodes for this Blog. I spent time picking each episode because they are all good.
