Actually Gunsmoke probably had it's yearly ups and downs but back then ratings weren't as big as they are now. I don't remember readng or hearing about ratings until I was out of high school and the hype associated with them is just that, I think, hype. Since most of the shows I enjoyed rarely were in the top 20 and therefore canceled after a couple of years, XFiles was a real treat because it actually lasted a while.

A show can only last as long as it's big characters are actively involved and since most of Gunsmoke's stayed with the show as long as possible, the show had a long life.
