Seventeen seasons and 540 episodes since it burst on the TV scene as the first truly "adult" western back in 1955, Gunsmoke returned with 24 all-new episodes in the fall of 1971. Amazingly, two of the original regulars are still on tap: James Arness as US Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City, and Amanda Blake as golden-hearted saloon owner Miss Kitty Russell; also, Ken Curtis as Festus Haggen and Buck Taylor as Newly O'Brien are back in the saddle, having been with the series for ten and five seasons, respectively. Conspicuous by his absence for during the first few months of Season Seventeen is Milburn Stone as cantankerous Doc Adams. Having suffered a heart attack, Stone went on a brief hiatus, replaced in seven consecutive episodes by Pat Hingle as Dr. John Chapman, who makes his first appearance in the appropriately titled episode "New Doctor in Town (it was explained that Doc had to go to Baltimore to "update" his medical skills). Stone returned in the season's 12th installment "Gold Train", Part One of the only three-part story in Gunsmoke history. Nor is Pat Hingle the only prominent actor to make a guest appearance this season. Others include Mercedes McCambridge, Ellen Burstyn, Jan-Michael Vincent, Richard Kiley, Pippa Scott, Buddy Ebsen, Harry Carey Jr., Henry Jones, and Jeanette Nolan, in a reprise of her colorful "Dirty Sally" characterization. Gunsmoke closed out its record-breaking seventeenth season as the fourth highest-rated TV series in America--beating out even its NBC competition, Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. Hal Erickson, Rovi
