For the last month, I have been getting “Big Valley” free on Dish Network, not sure if it is a permanent thing or not.
Something which struck me as interesting is when reading the short summary of each episode, nearly every one has been very PC. Sort of surprising considering how old it is.
What I am talking about is something like: innocent Mexican, Black, Native American, etc. tortured by group of old west hooligans in a wagon with a confederate flag on it. Ok, no confederate flag but you know what I mean.
Good point. We were watching a schpielburg TV series and dumped it as soon as the sterotypical stupid white Southerners and rabid Christian minister appeared.
Steven schpielbugger is a marxist racist demagogue a-hole like most other hollywood types.
Yes, by the mid 1960s PC had already taken over the Westerns on TV, even Bonanza. I watch the old episodes, too, and have noticed that. White people who stand up for justice and the law were beginning to be vilified. Minorities were already be turned into saints. Southerners were always redneck hicks.
