Now how about the bonus question: Which TV program showed the first interracial kiss on American TV?

The first interracial kiss on American network television was in the "Star Trek" episode entitled "Plato's Stepchildren," which aired on November 22, 1968, when Captain Kirk (William Shatner) kissed Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). Some stations in the South (U.S.) originally refused to air the episode.

Is this an "age related" quiz,

Jimbuna · 08-17-11, 06:24 AM

Okay...I'll go with this:

December 11, 1967
NBC airs the TV special Movin' With Nancy, in which she shares a kiss with Sammy David Jr., albeit it looks like a cheek kiss next to the mouth (go to about 4:50 in ).

See 4:55

Might it be I Love Lucy?

Correct

The first interracial kiss on US television took place when Sammy Davis Jr and Nancy Sinatra kissed briefly on the variety program"Movin with Nancy"in December 1967.

The Shatner/Nichols kiss happened 22 Nov 68 almost a year after the Davis/Sinatra kiss.

Would that be Peter Graves in Whiplash?

The actor is correct but the series was actually Fury, I had forgotten Whiplash, I wish they would make a new series, seems westerns are a thing of the past!
