Losing Out To Bonanza
Despite the quality of its story lines, cast, and guests, Bus Stop failed in the ratings against NBC's Bonanza, which moved for its third season from Saturday to Sunday evenings in the 9 p.m. Eastern slot. Ronald W. Reagan and Jack Benny appeared at the same hour on CBS in General Electric Theater (its last season) and The Jack Benny Program. Bus Stop followed ABC's western series Lawman costarring John Russell and Peter Brown and preceded Gardner McKay's Adventures in Paradise.

Famous quotes containing the word losing:
“Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Remembered tolling a departing friend.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
