But the original Star Trek was pitched to the executives as "Wagon Train
to the Stars", although a major part of the inspiration seems to have
been Capt. James Cook's expeditions to the south Pacific.

Ah, but the resemblance was distant.


The one which has always amused me
is "Bonanza" and "Bonanza in Outer
Space" ["Battlestar Galactica"].


I've never been convinced that they didn't
just re-use old "Bonanza" scripts and
pencil-correct things such as "Ranch"
to "Space Ship" and Little Joe to
whatshisface.


And, then, of course, featuring
Robbie the Robot as in like
Bill's "Tempest".
