For eight seasons, audiences may tune their TVs to Wagon Practice every week and comply with a brand new story as Ward Bond’s Main Seth Adams and Robert Horton’s Flint McCullough led their group throughout the American West on a journey from Missouri to California.
The faces and locations of the present, which aired its last episode 60 years in the past, on Could 2, 1965, modified through the years: John McIntire took over after Bond’s 1960 demise, Robert Fuller crammed in after Horton’s 1962 departure, the present switched from NBC to ABC for Season 6, and shade episodes got here and went. However the Western sequence’ attraction endured, particularly with big-name visitor stars like Ernest Borgnine, Bette Davis, Jane Wyman, and Ronald Reagan lassoing viewers.
