  • ""This documentary anthology's fifth season begins with a critique of the changing image of African-Americans on TV--from 'outsiders, ' narrator Ruby Dee says, to 'part of the myth' of the American dream. The study consists largely of clips from--and observations about--series that include Amos 'n' Andy, Beulah, The Nat King Cole show, I spy, Julia (whose star, Diahann Carroll, recalls that other blacks viewed her character as 'a sellout, an Oreo cookie'), Good times, All in the family, Sanford and Son, Frank's Place and The Cosby show"--TV guide, June 15, 1992."@en

  • "This award-winning documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Marlon Riggs takes a close look at how network television absorbed deep-seated racial conflict and transformed it into the nonthreatening offerings of 20th-century primetime TV. Narrated by Ruby Dee, the film examines popular programs such as Amos 'n' Andy, I Spy, Julia, Good Times, Roots, and The Cosby Show, weaving clips from the shows with news coverage of the civil rights movement. Esther Rolle, Diahann Carroll, Tim Reid and other black performers discuss the impact their acting roles had in shaping race relations."@en
  • ""'Color Adjustment' is a landmark study of prejudice and perception in the Television Age. ... traces how African Americans were reluctantly 'integrated' into America's prime time family. From 'Amos 'n' Andy' to 'The Cosby Show, ' 'Color Adjustment' explores television's vital role in selling the American Dream, brilliantly illuminating the interplay between America's racial consciousness and the dominant medium of our time. In a blend that is alternatively nostalgic, insightful, and disturbing, the filmmakers weave carefully chosen excerpts from the programs with revealing observations from creators, writers, producers, and performers involved in making them, as well as several prominent cultural critics."--1992 Peabody Awards entry form excerpt. This program examines the racial myths, stereotyping, and negative portrayal of blacks on American television from 1948-1988. The negative portrayal of blacks gave white audiences a false impression of what life was like in black America, an impression that wasn't changed until news cameras brought the violence and struggle for civil rights into the American living room. Shows then began to depict blacks in a more realistic setting, illustrating that not all Americans were living the American dream. The program includes clips from many shows on television during those forty years, including the Nat King Cole show; East side, west side; Roots; All in the family; and Good times. The program also contains footage of speeches by Martin Luther King, Jr., President Reagan, and Newton Minow."@en
