Overview
Coronet Blue is an American TV series that ran on CBS from May 29, 1967, to September 4, 1967. It starred Frank Converse as Michael Alden, an amnesiac in search of his identity, with Brian Bedford his co-star. The show's 13 episodes were filmed in 1965 and were originally intended to be shown during the 1965-66 television season, but CBS put the show on hiatus when they reversed an earlier decision to cancel the drama Slattery's People. The network had plans to show Coronet Blue the following year, with CBS head of programming Michael Dann saying that, "there still is enormous enthusiasm" for it, but it would take another full year until the network aired it as a summer replacement. It proved moderately popular and developed a cult following. According to Converse, CBS wanted to renew it but by then Converse had signed to do another series for ABC, N.Y.P.D., which premiered the day after the last airing of Coronet Blue. Due to a number of pre-emptions, only 11 of the 13 episodes were shown during the initial run. The theme song was performed by R&B singer Lenny Welch.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The series focuses on a man with amnesia pursued by unknown forces, emphasizing individual survival and the quest for personal truth. The core subject matter of a 'man on the run' mystery does not inherently align with a specific political ideology, leading to a neutral rating.
The series features traditional casting with a predominantly white cast, consistent with its 1960s production era. Its narrative focuses on a suspenseful mystery without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or incorporating prominent DEI themes.
Secondary
The 1967 mystery thriller series 'Coronet Blue' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative centers entirely on the protagonist's amnesia and his quest for identity, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Coronet Blue is an original 1967 television series. All characters introduced in the show are new and original to its narrative, meaning there is no prior canon or source material from which their gender could have been swapped.
Coronet Blue was an original television series created in 1967, not an adaptation of pre-existing material with established character races or historical figures. Therefore, no characters could have been race-swapped from a prior canonical or historical depiction.
