Shocking Facts About ‘Gunsmoke’ That You Probably Don’t Know

9. From Madame to Miss

Miss Kitty Russell was a professional Madame on the Gunsmoke radio show. However, her job was almost never mentioned on television. Network executives and producers understood that television had to be very family friendly, and they shied away from all mentions of it.

Gunsmoke was one of my favorite TV shows when I was a kid. It must have been years later when I realized what all those rooms upstairs were about: it clearly wasn't an inn/flophouse/hotel, so...? And only in recent years, caring for my own kittycat, have I connected that to her name.

After all, they could hardly call her Miss Pussy.
