Premise: Decision is a NBC anthology TV series that aired as a summer replacement for "The Loretta Young Show" in 1958. 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.
Hypothesis: James Drury was given a second chance to star in the TV adaptation of "The Virginian" after the failed pilot aired on an NBC series that was being shown as a summer substitution for "The Loretta Young Show."
