Television's longest-running Western shows no signs of slowing down in GUNSMOKE: THE EIGHTEENTH SEASON, a new-to-DVD assortment of 24 full-length rugged and heartwarming episodes. Avenging Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness) removes his badge and rides after a brute who left Kitty (Amanda Blake) near death. Newly (Buck Taylor) finds true love. In a pair of light-hearted stories, Matt can't seem to find a moment's peace, and a little man riding a big horse swears he'll change into an elephant at midnight. Matt goes undercover to capture a notorious gang, traverses the Rogue River to protect orphans, and outlaws terrorize Dodge. Doc (Milburn Stone), Festus (Ken Curtis) and Sam (Glenn Strange) are also on hand in these timeless tales that deserve a spot in every collector's library.
