Overview
Cheyenne Bodie was a big man, a former army scout who went west after the American Civil War and drifted from job to job, here a cowboy, there a lawman, and always a larger-than-life hero. CHEYENNE is an American western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1963. The show was the first hour-long western, and in fact the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season. It was also the first series to be made by a major Hollywood film studio which did not derive from its established film properties, and the first of a long chain of Warner Brothers original series produced by William T. Orr.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's political bias cannot be assessed due to the complete absence of plot details, character arcs, or thematic information, resulting in a neutral rating.
Based on the absence of specific casting and narrative details, the movie is assessed as featuring primarily traditional representation and framing. There is no indication of explicit DEI-driven casting or a narrative that critiques traditional identities or centers strong DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity as a foundational moral and communal framework for the settlers on the frontier. While individual characters may falter, the underlying virtues of faith, community, and justice are generally affirmed as positive societal influences.
The Western television series "Cheyenne," which aired from 1955 to 1962, does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consistent with the prevailing social and media norms of its era, the narrative does not include any depiction of queer identities or experiences.
The 1955 Western TV series 'Cheyenne' does not include any discernible transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on typical Western tropes and storylines, with no elements related to transgender identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1955 TV series "Cheyenne" introduced original characters for its narrative. There are no instances of characters who were previously established as one gender in source material or prior canon being portrayed as a different gender.
As the original 1955 television series, "Cheyenne" did not adapt characters from prior source material or historical figures with established racial identities that could be altered. Therefore, no race swaps occurred within this production.
