"The romance in this was is on your side!"???
I realize this was 1957, but the desegregation of Little Rock High School had occurred and the upcoming centennial of the Civil War was on many peoples' minds!
Gray Ghost avoided referencing slavery...or even showing any Black people, never referencing the reasons for the War Between the States.
In fact, CBS had co-produced the show for the Fall 1957 season.
But, to avoid potential sponsor backlash and negative publicity, they moved it to syndication rather than air it on the network.
It ran one season, but reruns continued until 1970 or so...mostly on local Southern TV stations.
