Trek trivia: When Rodenberry first pitched Star Trek to the "suits" cowboy
westerns were the big thing on American TV. Rodenberry used the pitch of a
"wagon train to the stars" to sell the show. The "suits" after seeing the
initial pilot (The cage) felt a little duped (it was "too cerebral") but the
still liked the idea enough to commission a second pilot (Where no one has
gone before) which ended in the "bare knuckle fist fight" the "suits" wanted.
