Well, while he's no Chester, I still find ol' Festus, with his moth-eaten hat and thick as molasses drawl, a real scene-stealer, so he'd be my favorite from these later color seasons of the show.

 

[Dave Scarpa]

Festus is great but it’s his scenes with Doc Adams that stand out so my pick would be Doc Adams

 

[Rodney]

Festus Haggen.

 

[The Obsolete Man]

I'll go with Festus as well.

IIRC, this was the era where Arness had scaled back a bit, so Festus had more to do.

 

[BobO'Link]

Well... there can be only one - Festus. Hands down. Doc Adams is a very close 2nd.

Sam.

 

[TV_Fan]

Gotta say Festus

 

[dvdclon]

Festus for me!

 

[Doug Wallen]

I've always been partial to Newly O'Brien. I like how he came in small and grew into a dependable 2nd for Matt and Doc.

 

[Blimpoy06]

Always James Arness as Matt Dillon for me.

 

[Likecats]

Festus.

 

[Robbie^Blackmon]

Festus, no question about it.

 

[Brother Theodore]

Miss Kitty.

 

[Troy EB]

I will go with Newly O'Brien played by Buck Taylor. Like David Canary in "Bonanza", Buck Taylor added a lot to the later seasons of "Gunsmoke".

 

[DBF]

Festus, with Doc right behind.

 

[John Sparks]

I had no Idea there was a "Chester" until I heard a recorded radio version rehearsal - courtesy of Kemit Schafer

Miss Kitty all the way!

 

[Pathfiner]

No Jim, no Matt, No Gunsmoke !
