YMMV / Go Go Gophers

  • Fair for Its Day: The segments feature very obvious Native American stereotypes that wouldn't fly in this day and age, but at the same time the Gopher Indians were still treated as the heroes, and always outsmarted the U.S. army soldiers and settlers trying to take their land and move them out of their home, something unheard of for an old west series made in the 1960s. At the time it came out, several Southern critics attacked the series for its satire against racism, one even calling it "un-American" to have the Gopher Indians as the heroes and the Manifest Destiny military as the antagonists.
