GUNSMOKE from CBS Radio (1952-1961). The Western ran for 9 seasons and peaked at 40 million listeners. It became so popular that a Black & White TV series was developed in 1955. It ran for 20 years until 1975.
The 9 radio seasons had 480 episodes that were developed into television scripts. Fans of the radio series have uploaded them to the Internet. It is very popular on YouTube and fans cannot find 4 lost episodes.
"Gunsmoke" radio is one of the most popular series in the "Golden Age" of radio that ended in 1961. The Western series took audiences back to the 1870's.
I became a fan of both the radio and TV series. They've become an inspiration for me as a screenwriter of my own Westerns.
I've added 25 more favorite episodes of the radio series. The total comes to 75 of the best segments from the 480.
