Audience

Wagon Train follows a wagon train journey across the frontier, with each episode spotlighting different travelers and the problems they face along the way. Over the series’ run, key leadership roles were recast, while a longtime cook remained a steady heart of the group.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this classic western trek if you want uplifting frontier drama and a big roster of guest stars; Not for you if you dislike longer vintage episodes, or want tightly modern pacing.
