Gunsmoke Turning 70, MeTV Will Commemorate It

I am truly looking forward to MeTV’s celebration of the seminal show, Gunsmoke (Mrs. William Paley’s favorite) as it reaches age 70.

On August 30th one of the TV movies, “Return to Dodge will air.

Also on that day, “Matt’s Love Story” (Matt Dillon played by James Arness did not get to kiss Amanda Blake’s “Miss Kitty” on the show, however, he does get romance and kissing with Miss Michael Learned, who later starred as Olivia Walton on another MeTV show, “The Waltons,” in the episode “Matt’s Love Story.”

The beautiful, talented Miss Michael Learned is pictured above.
