Starting to really enjoy Bonanza

Used to watch it as a kid in the 70s. Did a little reading. The four leads were liberals. Its tackling issues like racism, domestic violence, young men coming back from war (civil, but Vietnam). It has a disclaimer that thete are outdated stereotypes, however.

AND I HATE WESTERNS!
