no freddie prinze?


when i watched it last night they skipped from Desi ( i love lucy) to Miami Vice when it came to Latinos featured in t.v. freddie had his own show in the 70s.

I was shocked by the omission of Freddie Prinze as well.

They skipped to Gregory Sierra's minor role in Miami Vice completely ignoring Barney Miller. Surely Jack Soo and Ron Glass from that series were worthy of mention. Barney Miller and Chico and the Man both started in 1974.

Also ignored was the diverse cast in Hill Street Blues from 1981. What about Nipsey Russell and Ossie Davis and Frederick O'Neal in Car 54, Where Are You? in 1961?

I realize they have limited time, but that doesn't excuse poor research. They would lead viewers to misunderstand or overlook a lot of things.





My friend, you are soured by too much contact with humanity.
