The two hundred and thirty-fifth TV show: #40 Wagon Train

Wagon Train is a show that doesn't have any staying power. Each episode has a story, in an anthology-style our main cast walks into a new place kind of way, but I couldn't tell you much about what any of them were. They're competent, but somehow mostly forgettable. The main cast in particular, despite their constant appearance, never stuck in my mind and I'm still not sure who it is. I would have expected the pilot to have some sort of introduction - one of the reasons I always cover these - but it's such a standard episode that I didn't get a strong start there. From then on, so much blended into the background that I didn't manage to get much out of it.
