Gunsmoke first was aired on September 10, 1955 and it was originally not named Gunsmoke but Marshal Dillon.  Of course it ran for 20 years  and is considered to be the King of all Westerns. James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City, Dennis Weaver as Chester, Amanda Blake as Miss Kitty (who ran the Longbranch saloon and it appeared also  to have doubled as a brothel), Milburn Stone as Doc. In this episode from November 16, 1957, Matt sets out with a vengeance to capture two trouble-making Texas cowhands who dragged Chester behind a horse  and left him near death.

Btw – John Wayne was originally offered the role of Marshal Matt Dillon but turned it down and recommended James Arness.
