"Look to the Stars" was on TV Land recently. It spoke of bigotry, but I thought it was a little too contrived. Ben's speech near the end was probably as close to preaching as Bonanza got, but it was still well done. What I found interesting is they apparently could not use the word "Jew" or Jewish" and referred to them as "Israelites." I'd like to know what was behind that. Did they consider it too provocative or was it censorship of some kind?

I think it was used to inject a bit of historical accuracy into the script. It was a term used commonly in the mid to late 19th century, but not in the 20th.
