Leans Traditional

Primary

This film, a sitcom adaptation, primarily focuses on the comedic challenges and personal adaptation of an urban family running a dude ranch in New Mexico. Its core conflict and narrative solution are centered on individual and family perseverance, making it largely apolitical.

This 1960s sitcom features a cast that is predominantly white, reflecting the common casting practices of its era without intentional diversity initiatives. The narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, consistent with the typical storytelling conventions of the period, rather than offering any critique of them.

Secondary

The 1960s sitcom "Guestward, Ho!" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consistent with television programming of its era, the narrative focuses on a heterosexual family's experiences running a dude ranch, with no explicit or implicit queer representation present in the storyline.

The 1960s sitcom 'Guestward, Ho!' does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative. The show's plot centers on a family's experiences running a dude ranch, with no indication of LGBTQ+ representation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1960 TV show "Guestward, Ho!" is an adaptation of the 1956 memoir of the same name. The main characters and supporting roles retain their established genders from the source material, with no instances of a character canonically or historically established as one gender being portrayed as another.

The show's main characters, the Phelps family, are portrayed as white, consistent with the source novel. While Native American characters Hawkeye and Mrs. Hawkeye were played by white actors, their on-screen portrayal maintained their established Native American race, thus not constituting a race swap as defined.
