I always hated that there were hardly any Blacks in Westerns, and on TV in general. I noticed that as a kid, and it was disturbing to me. Don't they watch TV too?
Bonanza was a highly rated show. But Pernell Roberts (Adam) left the show after 5 seasons because he got frustrated with trying unsuccessfully to get the writers to include Blacks in the show, and not just for stereotypical roles.
I remember watching 'The Rifleman', great show, and two times Sammy Davis Jr. appeared in it. It was so refreshing to see that his role was just like a White role -- no stereotype, and no mention of race.
Why didn't TV shows in the older days do more of that? What the hell was everybody's problem anyway.
We live in a crazy world Ronnie. 😜
