Sam Shueh I guessed "Gunsmoke" before I clicked on your question. Festus (Ken Curtis) replaced Chester (Dennis Weaver) in the series.

You thought Festus talked funny?

Reminds me of my in-laws who were both from Savannah with thick southern accents.  When Jimmy Carter (a Georgia peanut-farmer) was elected president my father-in-law said to me, in his slowest southern drawl "We don't have an accent any-mowah.  You do!".

That was a great show.  They don't make them like that anymore.  Just a simple story of good guys versus bad guys, with a little bloodless violence thrown in, and always a happy ending.  sigh
