"Bus Stop" "Portrait of a Hero" -- Episode 1.5 (Oct. 29, 1961) Rod Taylor played tennis bum Johnny Jones in one episode of this anthology series that focused on the lives of people stopping off at a bus stop cafe in Sunrise, Colo. Nina Foch was also a guest star in this episode; her character's name was Peggy. TV.com has this plot synopsis: When Johnny Jonas' bus ticket runs out, he and all his worldly goods are put off at Sunrise. But being broke doesn't cramp Johnny's style, soon he's out at the local country club, charming the ladies and playing tennis for 50 bucks a point. The series regulars were played by Rhodes Reason, Marilyn Maxwell, Joan Freeman and Richard Anderson. The series, directed by Robert Altman, aired on ABC in 1961-62. "Bus Stop" was based on a stage play by William Inge (which had also spawned a 1956 film starring Marilyn Monroe). Another episode, "A Lion Walks Among Us," featured Fabian in one of the most controversial segments ever aired. It prompted a congressional inquiry into violence on TV, and caused advertisers to avoid the show.
