A remake was done in the 70s with Marlo Thomas and Wayne Rogers. Marlo had the lead role.

You've never seen it on tv again for a reason.

I was wondering what the next failure was going to be. Does Bedford Heights have an MLK Boulevard?

I bet you are a racist if you hate it.

Make something original please.

Would this be cultural appropriation?

Remember ‘Nothing But Negros’ (NBN) month starts in 10 days. The TV is already swamped with black focused content.

I just washed my Confederate Battle flag getting it ready for the flagpole on Feb 1.
