What is wrong with Gun Smoke?

He was lame.

His name was "Chester".

"Gun Smoke" is wrong as well — it's "Gunsmoke".

I know, I saw it when it was too last to do anything about. I also missed a question mark.

No worries.

That's pretty much all I remember about the program...and Miss Kitty.

EDIT:

Okay, I did a search and there was a "Festus" who replaced "Chester" halfway through the lifetime of the series and I didn't even know that. The ball's in your court — and it's all yours!

Festus is something of a shiftless character; he has no full-time job, but always seems to have money. In the past, he had an uneasy relationship with the law. However, Matt has been a good influence on Festus and Festus has learned to be a good part-time deputy with high regard for the law.

I liked ken Curtis the actor that played Festus; he was a good actor and an excellent singer. He never really made it big, but that is not because of his talent. I would think it had more to do with the fact that he wasn’t tall, and wasn’t practically good-looking. The world is not a fair place there are lots of talented people that never even get a chance. It is an advantage to be good-looking. My granddaughter is a sail rep, and her looks help her make sales; it doesn't make sense, and it is not fair, but that is the way it is.

There was Chester,(who was never a deputy) "Newly"(who was a part-time deputy and physician in training) and then "Festus". There was also a semi-regular of a Native American , young, blacksmith namwd Quint played by Guess who?
