Have Gun, Will Travel made a reference to "Gunsmoke" in this episode, mentioning Matt Dillon:
Paladin to gunman: The ad said only experts need apply.
gunman: I served with Matt Dillon in Austin. Does that make me expert enough?
Paladin: No, that makes you a fake. Dillon never served in Austin.
This is the only time "Gunsmoke" was mentioned in the series, both being on CBS and HGWT broadcast right before "Gunsmoke" on Saturday night. (edit)
