Line 2:
Incredibly successful [[NBC]] western about a group of pioneers heading out west after the [[American Civil War]]. The show lasted eight years, in part thanks to the broad range of story lines that its [[Walking the Earth]] format provided. These days, however, it's more well-known for being the first two of those [[Wagon Train to the Stars|five famous words]] Gene Roddenberry used to pitch ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''.

* [[Adventure Towns]]
* [[Actor Existence Failure]]: Ward Bond unexpectedly died of a heart attack in 1961, necessitating a change to John McIntyre as the new lead. Interestingly, no episode actually deals with Maj. Adams' (Bond's character) leaving/retiring/dying, and so the next episode is McIntyre's character taking over from a tyrranical replacement played by [[Lee Marvin]].
