Just to clarify the 30 minute episodes are Gunsmoke Season 1-6 and were called Gunsmoke when originally aired and on the DVD's as they should be. When Gunsmoke went to an hour long show they rebranded the half hour episodes as "Marshall Dillion" to release them in Syndication and apparently those versions are what still show up in reruns on tv. They are most likely edited by a few minutes as well.
Ron1973 said:I'm going to shock Gary I know but I've been watching the b/w episodes of Gunsmoke lately on Encore. Hour long versions and the 30 minute "Marshall Dillon" versions both. I think I'm liking the b/w episodes better than the color ones, though I do miss Festus!
