A
school bus is a vehicle that transports students back and forth to school.
School
buses – especially yellow school buses – have appeared frequently throughout
cult-tv history.
For
instance, every child of elementary school age remembers The Magic School Bus (1994-1998).
In
terms of adult-programming, a second season episode of Chris Carter’s Millennium
(1996-1999) called “19:19” involves a lunatic who abducts a school bus full of
children. The question becomes: has he
done so to save them from some terrible cataclysm?
The
second season of Veronica Mars (2004-2007) revolves around a school bus. A Neptune High School Bus, returning home
from a field trip, goes over a mountain, killing many students. Veronica
(Kristen Bell) must discover if someone orchestrated the so-called “accident,”
if so, why they did it. What were they
trying to hide? Who was the intended victim?
A
second season episode of The Walking Dead (2010 - ) -- "18 Miles Out" -- finds
Shane (Jon Bernthal) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) attempting to lead away from
Hershel’s farm a stranger that they picked up in town, and healed after a
terrible wound.
That mission is easier
said than done, however, when Rick and Shane come to blows over Lori (Sarah
Wayne Callies), and dozens of walkers attack.
For a time, Shane takes sanctuary in a yellow school bus, and at one
point it looks like Rick is ready to sacrifice him.
