Decision (TV series)

Decision is an NBC anthology TV series produced by Screen Gems that aired as a summer replacement for The Loretta Young Show in 1958.[1] The episodes consisted of repurposed failed pilots, including a TV adaptation of the Owen Wister novel The Virginian, starring James Drury. He would later star in a TV adaptation of the same novel.[2]

Directors included Lamont Johnson, Lewis Allen (director), David Lowell Rich and Fred Zinneman.

The 90-minute The Virginian and the 30-minute The Virginian are not related. When Mr. Drury told Universal Studios that he had done an episode of The Virginian for Screen Gems Studios they did not believe him. Two different Studios, same book for adaptation, same star, but totally unrelated. Sheriff Karen
