The Gunsmoke series has just recently been changed to 'Gun law' which is a re-release in England years after it was successful in the US for many years. Why the change to a released title rather then the original name?

Thanks guys, Now I am seeing Gunsmoke instead of the post release. Thanks for the support!!!
When it was first shown in the UK in 1956 it was called Gunlaw and the opening totally different from Gunsmoke, I watched it as a kid and remember how it was.

It's always puzzled me as I'm sure it was called 'Gunlaw' when I first watched it back in the B&W days. I thought they changed the title to 'Gunsmoke' to be a bit more PC.
In Britain, the show did indeed go by the name Gun Law. A daily comic strip of the same title ran in the Daily Express from 1957 to 1978, featuring the art of Harry Bishop.
