6 of 10 not bad as i never saw the episode
The Jarbo Pierce Story was an unsold pilot that had little, if anything, to do with Wagon Train. Universal Studios only aired it as part of a contractual commitment to deliver a certain number of episodes in the final season. Frank McGrath appeared in it as part of the pilot based on the movie "Bend of the River." The last episode ever filmed for "Wagon Train" was "The Indian Girl." It was filmed after filming had shut down for the series altogether at Universal Studios. A group was hastily called together again to meet the contractual commitment of Universal Studios to deliver final episodes to ABC. I am a journalist and western TV/film historian writing Terry Wilson's biography, which will be published next year. While MeTV created a fun quiz about the failed "Jarbo Pierce" pilot--which was never picked up for a series--it doesn't quite jive with the facts behind the true final episode of "Wagon Train," which starred Terry Wilson as Bill Hawks and featured Frank McGrath, Michael Burns, Michael Pate, John Lupton, and Robert Pine, with cameos by Robert Fuller and Ernest Borgnine (who was the guest star of the very first "Wagon Train" episode that began the series on NBC.)
I just left a comment.
I see that you did and want to thank you for sharing it.
I got 5 out of 10 with Mama's Family. Wagon Train I got 9 out of 10 with Wagon Train , Harbor Pierce Story.
4/10.
7 is pretty good for just guessing
4/10
Why doesn’t MeTV show any of the color episodes of Wagon Train?
6/10 I don’t recall seeing the finale.🤔
Not well at all. Missed three. I knew Rory Calhoun. Tom Simcox played Adam. The rest were lucky and unlucky guesses. Wagons ho!
8/10. Missed #5&7.
Technically, this isn't the series finale. The show moved to a different network and was an hour and a half in length, which is why they're not shown on MeTV. It would take up two hours of air time.
Thanks for the info.
6/10. Not too bad considering I don't remember watching the final episode.

4 out of 10-It's obvious I do not remember this episode.
6/10 for guesses... i watch it but havent seen this one yet
2 right guesses. I did not know a single one.
4/10 I missed the Wagon Train.w🤠
4/10. I know a lot of episodes but apparently I couldn’t recall seeing this one
A strange fact about WT: It expanded to 90 minutes in color for season 7, but went back to black-and-white hours for the final season! MeTV even ran the color episodes on the Saturday Western roundup!
Thanks for the info.
