Gunsmoke (Seasons 1–20)

Gunsmoke (1955–1975) is the classic CBS Western you can watch online on iFILM. Marshal Matt Dillon keeps the peace in Dodge City, a rowdy Kansas town where cowboys, card sharps and fortune hunters all pass through.

James Arness plays Dillon — tall, sparing with words, badge on his chest and a heavy revolver on his hip. Around him are loyal deputy Chester (Dennis Weaver), gruff Doc Adams (Milburn Stone) and saloon owner Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake). Most episodes stand on their own: a shootout, a land dispute, a stranger with bad intentions riding into town. A young Burt Reynolds cut his teeth here too.

The show began on radio, moved to the screen and ran for twenty seasons and more than six hundred episodes — for decades the longest-running prime-time drama on American TV. This is a Western with no polish: dust, weary faces, and morals that come the hard way. Stream Gunsmoke online on iFILM.
