• About Cicely Tyson's role...

  Cicely Tyson was the first actress to be seen on televison with her natural hair, not coiffured, it helped launch and popularize the the use of the afros by women and men of the mid-1960s. From the very onset of her career, Cicely always played strong Black woman roles and never used stereotypical behavior.

  10 Perfect

  This show was probably one of the top 10 series of all times, and is definitely my all time favorite. I wish it were in video. hide « show »

  The composite score for this show is ridiculously low. In 1963 the show struggled to stay on the air because the topics they covered were very controversial. The scripts were courageous, George C. Scott was incredible, and the supporting cast was excellent (including for the first time a black lady in a recurring role). I believe it lasted only one year because of the controversial material it covered and the lack of courageous sponsors. CBS deserves a lot of credit for letting the show run the entire year.

  Do you agree?
