The 20-season 1955-1975 classic CBS Western series had 646 million viewing minutes for the week of March 3-9, which was good enough for No. 8 on Nielsen's list of Top 10 acquired series. Gunsmoke currently streams on Paramount+ and Peacock. "A long-running TV show with a huge library of episodes making Nielsen’s streaming charts is nothing unusual. It happens multiple times each week, in fact," says The Hollywood Reporter's Rick Porter. "But a show making the streaming top 10 almost half a century after it last aired? That is a horse of a different color — or black and white, as the case may be." Porter adds: " While this is Gunsmoke’s first top 10 appearance, the series has been a solid streaming draw for some time. It had more than 10 billion viewing minutes in 2024."
