I thoroughly recommend Gunsmoke for your viewing. It's one of the best westerns ever (for that matter, one of the best tv programs ever). I don't think I missed any of its episodes when it was in its original run. It was decent and wholesome, something the kids could watch also. It was about heroism, bravery, justice, and defending the defenseless. Also, I think you'll enjoy the character of Chester.

I wholeheartedly agree, Oli. And I also loved the Chester character. Festus was fun, too. But in a much more comic way. And don't forget Burt Reynolds as Quint! smile
