I did watch a little gunsmoke when I was young.
I watched 2 reruns of gunsmoke on TVLAND.
Why did they replace Chester with 2 people named
Fester and Muley?

Dennis Weaver (Chester) left the show in '64 after 9 years because he was offered a starring role in his own series, "Kentucky Jones." Festus (Ken Curtis) joined the show in '59 and Newly (Buck Taylor) in 1967 and both stayed until the end in 1975.
