Godless on Netflix. A seven episode miniseries. On the rating scale used here, it's a high ten! I watched it twice and that is exceedingly rare for me.

"Great Western" is an oxymoron.
See if watching it changes your mind.

Just turned it on. Not a good start for me when before you even see anything you hear the clip clop of a fucking horse.

Don't you watch the rebirth of the original Law & Order? Sam Waterston is now the District Attorney after many years as the Chief Prosecutor.
I hope someone here is more open minded than you and gives it a fair chance.

Every episode of both. I'd rate both highly, but not on a par with Godless.
Why did you get involved in this thread anyway? It was specifically targeted for those who enjoyed Westerns.

before. How did you find out about it?

Here are my favorite TV shows, give you an idea of what I do like.
1 - The Honeymooners
This ultra-popular US TV series has NEVER shown on UK screens to my knowledge
2 - The Sopranos
My pick for best US TV series of all time. This one has NEVER been off UK TV screens since its inception. So wonderfully written and marvellously cast
5 - Sgt. Bilko
Or "You'll Never Get Rich" as the first episodes appeared here. Silvers created a wonderful comic character here
12 - The Tonight Show (Starring Johnny Carson)
Johnny who? He was totally unknown over here. I guarantee 99% of the UK populace will be completely unfamiliar with him
13 - All In The Family
I liked it ok but it was definitely second best to the UK original "Till Death Us Do Part" on which it was heavily based
22 - I Love Lucy
Before 1955 there was no commercial TV here. The only channel (yes just ONE channel!) was the staid old BBC. Then ITV appeared and promptly bought the UK rights to America's #1 show.
And immediately made it the UK's #1 show too
25 - Boardwalk Empire
Another of the best US TV shows ever IMO. Steve Buscemi is a tour de force in this
28 - Columbo
There's a channel here that shows nothing but old Columbo episodes every Sunday and has done the same for years.Falk is simply wonderfully cast in this
34 - Amos And Andy
One of my 50's favorites too but sadly never seen these days (and likely never to be seen again ever) thanks to today's "woke" climate

Yes and yes
But several decades old US shows like "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits" for instance are being shown again after many many years on UK TV screens as we speak
That fate I fear will never be destined for "Amos And Andy" for the reason I gave (in fact I'm very surprised the YT episodes haven't been blocked to viewers here)

When "Amos And Andy" first showed here it was on the BBC circa 1955 or so. As I recall it was popular and ran for a couple of years without any fuss or fanfare or adverse comment. .I've never heard of it causing any friction with the UK black audience.strongly when I am over here as part of the current UK TV audience (already living with the banning of the 70's comedy sitcom "Love Thy Neighbour" featuring a black family)---and you are not
But the TV climate in the UK today is very different and being familiar with it led me to make the "likely never to be seen again ever thanks to today's "woke" climate" comment which is my firm opinion and which I don't quite see how you can refute so

Here are my favorite TV shows, give you an idea of what I do like.
1 - The Honeymooners
This ultra-popular US TV series has NEVER shown on UK screens to my knowledge
2 - The Sopranos
My pick for best US TV series of all time. This one has NEVER been off UK TV screens since its inception. So wonderfully written and marvellously cast
5 - Sgt. Bilko
Or "You'll Never Get Rich" as the first episodes appeared here. Silvers created a wonderful comic character here
12 - The Tonight Show (Starring Johnny Carson)
Johnny who? He was totally unknown over here. I guarantee 99% of the UK populace will be completely unfamiliar with him
13 - All In The Family
I liked it ok but it was definitely second best to the UK original "Till Death Us Do Part" on which it was heavily based
22 - I Love Lucy
Before 1955 there was no commercial TV here. The only channel (yes just ONE channel!) was the staid old BBC. Then ITV appeared and promptly bought the UK rights to America's #1 show.
And immediately made it the UK's #1 show too
25 - Boardwalk Empire
Another of the best US TV shows ever IMO. Steve Buscemi is a tour de force in this
28 - Columbo
There's a channel here that shows nothing but old Columbo episodes every Sunday and has done the same for years.Falk is simply wonderfully cast in this
34 - Amos And Andy
One of my 50's favorites too but sadly never seen these days (and likely never to be seen again ever) thanks to today's "woke" climate
"Woke" culture, the connotation rascists and bigots created with perverted usage, had nothing to do with it. Read some history and see
what the NAACP had to do with it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_%27n%27_Andy
Jim, I'm sure what you say is correct but my remarks about the "Amos & Andy" TV show were made as a UK viewer in regard to UK showings to a UK audienceBut haven't they been off the air in the UK for many decades? Long before the word "woke" was ever used the way it is now?0
Yes and yes
But several decades old US shows like "The Twilight Zone" and "The Outer Limits" for instance are being shown again after many many years on UK TV screens as we speak
That fate I fear will never be destined for "Amos And Andy" for the reason I gave (in fact I'm very surprised the YT episodes haven't been blocked to viewers here)I don't think it has anything to do with woke, which is mainly about white liberals. I think that black folks are the ones who didn't want it on even when it was current, and it's just stayed that way. Unless you can show that some network wanted

so strongly when I am over here as part of the current UK TV audience (already living with the banning of the 70's comedy sitcom "Love Thy Neighbour" featuring a black family)---and you are notBut the TV climate in the UK today is very different and being familiar with it led me to make the "likely never to be seen again ever thanks to today's "woke" climate" comment which is my firm opinion and which I don't quite see how you can refute
Can you give us a link to any article or anything that substantiates what you are saying about wokeness keeping old shows off of UK television?
Why would woke people want to ban a 70s show about a black family? If anything woke people want more shows about black familes.
By the way, did it ever occur to you that Amos And Andy being banned in the UK may have NOTHING AT ALL to do with the UK? Could be that when the NAACP stopped it from being shown on USA TV that the company that owned the rights to the show just decidedto not make it available anywhere in the world anymore. The UK may want to show it, but the shows are just not available.

what the NAACP had to do with it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amos_%27n%27_Andy
"the NAACP mounted a formal protest almost as soon as the television
version began, describing the show as "a gross libel of the Negro and >distortion of the truth". In 1951 it released a bulletin on "Why the
Amos 'n' Andy TV Show Should Be Taken Off the Air." It stated that the
show "tends to strengthen the conclusion among uninformed and
prejudiced people that Negroes are inferior, lazy, dumb, and
dishonest, ... Every character" is "either a clown or a crook"; "Negro >doctors are shown as quacks and thieves"; "Negro lawyers are shown as >slippery cowards"; "Negro women are shown as cackling, screaming
shrews"; "All Negroes are shown as dodging work of any kind"; and
"Millions of white Americans see this Amos 'n' Andy picture of Negroes
and think the entire race is the same."
However, the above does seem to be an exaggeration;
for starters, Amos for me is neither a clown nor a crook, and bit
parts often portrayed pleasant, normal, well-dressed, middle-class
characters (of color)...
However, Kingfish (Tim Moore), told to speak like Radio Kingfish, did >act/sound like a Minstrel. And Sapphire and Mama could come across as >shouting shrews on occasion.

That can't hold true in every case. I've had satellite TV for many,many years now and in that time the 5USA channel has always shown nothing but old "Columbo" episodes all day on Sundays every Sunday without fail.
So obviously they have some kind of really long term deal with the US owner of the series (Universal I think)

No you don't. You keep quoting material as it relates to the US situation regarding "Amos 'N' Andy" which I do not doubt is completely true as far as the USA is concerned.I do.All of which means nothing if the current rights owner does not want to let them be seen anywhere. The BBC broadcaster may not have anything to do with it not being seen.As I said before the BBC definitely PURCHASED the "Amos 'N' Andy" series in 1954. But whether that was "in perpetuity" I don't know
But as I keep saying the BBC here PURCHASED the series in 1954 and if that sale gave "in perpetuity" rights (as it may have done) then it still owns them. And no foreign court can affect or alter thatPURCHASING The series is only for the first run episodes that they were limited to either 2 showings, or to one calendar year worth of showings. No PURCHASE of any show for any country gave the purchaser rights to show the episodes forever.
As an amusing aside, later in that interview, Cosby had this to say about depicting racial issues in television…
That can't hold true in every case. I've had satellite TV for many,many years now and in that time the 5USA channel has always shown nothing but old "Columbo" episodes all day on Sundays every Sunday without fail.
So obviously they have some kind of really long term deal with the US owner of the series (Universal I think)
I don't have a NY Times prescription, but anybody who does can see the full article from 1954 where they report on the BBC then getting the rights to broadcast Amos N Andy.

I also found this somewhere:
The BBC did eventually stop airing the show in 1957, after facing criticism from some viewers who found the show's portrayal of African Americans to be offensive.
I know the show received criticism in the US but I don't recall ever reading anything adverse against it over here
Were you reading the papers thoroughly at 10 years old? Even if you were that may not have been the kind of things that made the censoring UK papers in the 50s.

So you were an "Amos 'N' Andy" fan already as like an 8-10 year old kid?
I don't understand "censoring UK papers"???As strict as the BBC was with what could be played on the air I would think that the newspapers there in the 50s would often stay away from any kind of controversial or risque stories that weren't "hard news."
remembering back almost 70 years as to whether or not you read anything about people having a problem with the show, I have no doubt that you must have a clear memory of when one of your favorite TV shows was suddenly not on anymore sometime in 1957,And BTW I was ELEVEN years old in 1957 :)
I know you were born in '46, but the complaining about the show would've started taking place before 1957, and depending upon what month you were born in, the show may have been taken off before you hit 11. The show started there in 1954. So with you

"Superman," recently died--she made it to 96! The obit explained how
Noelle Neal played the part in the movies but couldn't do the TV show because of prior commitments. When she became available in time for

Neill could also look glamorous if she wanted to.

Britain. His paternal grandfather, David Ernest Jagger, was also a teacher. His mother, Eva Ensley Mary (née Scutts), born in Sydney of English descent, was a hairdresser who was politically active in the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom."
Dartford is in another county entirely (Kent)---on the south side of the Thames-----and some 25 miles from London proper
Roger doesn't have a Cockney accent either since although he lived in London for many years he originally came from Birmingham (thats UK not Alabama :)
