"Mister Dillon! Mister Dillon!!"
How many times did Chester say Mister Dillon? If you ever wondered, I did too; so, I counted! This is from only one count, and I was very careful.....1,545 (+/- 25)
Is this more or less than you thought?
A beautifully written book about Amanda Blake with lots of pictures and information you will enjoy immensely. A large, paperback book, well worth the $30! Get a copy for yourself from any bookseller. (I am not affiliated with this publication.)

About me
As many of you might have, I watched Gunsmoke as a kid with my grandparents. Today I am still a huge fan! So much so, that I have memorized the entire list of 635 episodes! I have enjoyed putting this website together and I hope you enjoy it also. And yes, I still watch it every day!
