The show was unique because it also explored extremely original ideas, sometimes basing the entire plot around something incredible unusual but simple: a coin landing on it's side; a man in an empty town.
Almost every episode featured a popular actor or actress for its lead character. Some of those include [[William Shatner]], [[Robert Redford]], [[Don Rickles]], [[Dick York]], [[Jack Klugman]], and [[Lee Marvin]].
