With the cancellation of Bonanza in December of 1972, Gunsmoke remained standing as the last of the "golden age" TV westerns as it entered its record-breaking eighteenth season on the air. Heading the cast just as they had way back when the show got under way in 1955 are James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillon, Amanda Blake as Kitty Russell, and Milburn Stone (back from a brief respite while recovering from a heart attack) as Doc Adams. Also, Buck Taylor returns for his sixth season in the role of gunsmith Newly O'Brien, just as Ken Curtis is back for his ELEVENTH season as deputy Festus Haggen. If nothing else, Gunsmoke certainly afforded job security to actors! The season begins with one of the series' rare two-parters, "The River", a showcase for star James Arness as Matt is ambushed, left to drown in a raging river, and rescued by a brace of "raft" kids. Figuring prominently in the proceedings are several reliable character actors, among them Jack Elam and Slim Pickens. Subsequent episodes would provide ample acting opportunity for such familiar players as Richard Kiley, Mariette Hartley, Victor French, Anne Francis, Vic Tayback, Harry Morgan, Alan Hale Jr., Diana Hyland, Margaret Hamilton, William Devane and a young, pre-stardom Harrison Ford and Richard Dreyfuss! By season's end, it was clear as crystal that Gunsmoke had not yet worn out its welcome: The series closed out its eighteenth season as America's fourth highest-rated TV series. Hal Erickson, Rovi
