The 'funny' incorrect answers are kinda annoying and confusing

Cartoons would be wrong, well at least the ones listed. The main cast actually was white for Smurfs and Doug etc

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

The problem with Smurfs is that you said 'cast' rather than 'characters' in the question. As such, you have to look at the people who voiced them, which is probably too labor intensive.

Yeah. It says cast, so cartoons should probably be wrong.

There's nothing wrong with cartoons per se (he said 'any series'), but the majority of the voice talent must be non-white.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Doakes and Prado dont count as two because they never appeared at the same time

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Actually, I'll challenge the Smurfs. Every human character on the show was white (Gargamel, Big Mouth, Hogatha, etc.). Counting it would be like counting The Jeff Corwin experience, because most of the animals aren't white.

If you include Prado then you have to include the Ice Truck Killer

Yeah. There are a few cartoons that would probably be right, but Smurfs almost assuredly wouldn't be one of them.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

That's funny - Babylon 5 would have been a correct answer since I would count aliens as non-white.
