What Might've Been: Bus Stop (1961)

 20th Century Fox decided to adapt the movie, "Bus Stop", into a weekly series in October 1961. A good idea, but it was torpedoed by the end of the season for a number of reasons.

Marilyn Maxwell was the lead as the owner of a diner situated at a bus stop in fictional Sunrise, Colorado. However, a format change prompted Maxwell to depart after 13 episodes, or, halfway through the season. Richard Anderson and Rhodes Reason co-starred.

The opener, "Afternoon of a Cowboy", features Dean Stockwell and Bobby Buntrock (Hazel).

I'd never seen the show, nor the Marilyn Monroe movie that led to it. No rating.
